Surfing Information.

Surfers can paddle out 5 minutes before their heat starts but must not move into the take-off area until the previous heat has ended.
-
The start of the heat will be identified with a hooter and the signpost turned to green.
-
5 minutes before the end of a heat, there will be an orange flashing light and\or orange flag displayed.
-
The end of the heat will be identified with a hooter and the signpost turned to red.
-
When the heat is finished surfers should return immediately to the shore lying down on the board.
-
Competitors who stand on their boards when returning to shore can be disqualified.
-
Please proceed immediately to the judging tent to return your comp rash vest

-

Other Information.
-
Please stay clear of the judging tent and the immediate vicinity – judges are concentrating!
-
Please take a turn at judging. No experience is necessary and full training and support will be provided – you might even enjoy it!
-
No dogs on comp days please. Many beaches prohibit dogs, but more importantly it’s a family day with many young children who don’t all love your furry friends as you do.
Comp days.
Member guidelines.
How the monthly point score day is run and how the point score is judged.
The leaderboard.
-
Dalmeny Boardriders uses the WSL standard of point scoring for our competitions and leaderboard.
-
Waves are judged out of 10 with the 2 highest scoring waves in the heat used to determine the final heat score. A minimum of 50% of the heat will progress to the next round ie 2 surfers will progress in a heat of 4, with 3 surfers progressing in a heat of 5.
-
Competition points are allocated using the WSL structure as shown below.
-
Points are awarded for every place and are based on the Surfing Australia guidelines.
-
Surfers who are competing in an external competition or training camp where they are representing the Dalmeny Boardriders Club (eg Performance Camp, State Titles etc) on a DBR Comp Day will receive 860 points – equivalent to 2nd place.
-
As per Surfing Australia Guidelines, the EOY division winners will be those with the highest point score in a select number of pointscores only. Where 7 or more comps are run in a year, 2 pointscores will be excluded ie best 6 of 8 comps. If only 6 or less comps are run in the year only 1 pointscore will be excluded ie best 5 of 6 comps. This allows for competitors to miss a couple of events (holiday, illness,injury, slept-in!) or drop their lowest point scores.

Scoring rules.
-
Our boardrider comps are typically judged with 3 judges and a head judge using an electronic program called Liveheats. This is the same program that is used for season registration, competition registration, heat draws and the leaderboard.
-
All members over 13 are encouraged to judge a couple of heats. Training and support are provided and a head judge is in attendance to guide the newer judges.
-
Judging criteria guides are available in the judging tent for both shortboard and longboard events.
-
If a surfer ‘drops in’ on another surfer, they will receive no points for the ‘drop in’ wave, and the points for their highest scoring wave in the heat will be halved.
-
Points can only be scored for 10 waves in a heat
-
The final heat score for a competitor is the sum of the highest two scoring waves in the heat
-
A minimum of half the competitors in a heat will proceed to the next round, ie 4 person heat – 2 will proceed, 5 person heat – 3 will proceed
