No Trading
At 7:00 a.m. local event time on the first day of the waiting period, trading will be closed and locked.
Scoring — Low Score Wins
Each surfer earns points equal to the place they finish in each event.
- 1st place = 1 point
- 2nd place = 2 points
- 3rd place = 3 points
- For example, if Toldeo wins Snapper, he will receive one (1) point. If Griff is the runner up, he will receive two (2) points.
- For the semi-finalists who do not advance (equal 3rd place on the WSL Rankings Page), the surfer with the higher heat total between the two will receive three (3) points. The other semi-finalist will receive four (4) points.
- The remaining surfers will receive one point per event finish place.
-
The goal is to have the lowest total points for your team each event.
A perfect team score is 20 points.

FAQ & Fine Print
When does the league start?
The league follows the official WSL event schedule. Trading opens prior to the event and closes at 7am the first day of the event waiting period. Make sure you get your teams submitted and locked in. Keep a close eye on those global time zones.
What if my surfer gets injured / gets sick / pulls out?
If a surfer is injured, withdrawn, or does not start after trading closes, their score will equal their official finishing position. If no official finishing position is published, the surfer will be assigned the last-place score for that event.

Are you part of the WSL?
