How Do I check in for a Comp day?

Check in emails are sent on the Sunday prior to comp day (excluding round 1). There will be a link to check in. We expect that you will turn up if you check in. This streamlines the day for the whole club. The check in closes 5pm the Saturday before the comp. There is also a check out option, please use this if you are unable to make it and have already checked in.

How do waves get scored?

Judging Criteria

A competitor must perform radical controlled maneuvers in the critical sections of a wave with:

• Speed

• Power

• Flow

Judges will reward:

• Innovation and technical riding

• Variety of maneuvers (repertoire)

• Single major moves

• Multiple-element aerial maneuvers with a high degree of difficulty (if completed cleanly)

Scoring Process

• Each wave is judged on a scale of 0 to 10.

• Each competitor's two best waves count towards their total heat score.

Priority and Interference

• The competitor closest to the peak has the right of way.

• If two competitors take off on opposite peaks and their paths don’t cross, both can score.

• If their paths cross, the first to make a maneuver has priority.

• If a competitor is penalized for interference:

  1. First offense → Their second-best wave score is halved.

  2. Second offense → Their best wave score is also halved.

  3. Third offense → Disqualification from the heat.

Other Important Rules

• If a competitor rides a wave before the heat starts or after it ends, they receive a 0.00 for that wave.
  

Where are the comps run?

NCCB has 4 available locations.

1. The Lakes/Budgewoi Beach stretch

We will endeavor to announce the location of the competition the night before competition if conditions permit, unfortunately sometimes conditions do not allow this. This means we would announce the location via social media by 6am we aim to have the first heat in the water by 7am.
