WSL Fantasy Surfing
With the 2015 WSL about to kick off in 10 days its time to sort out your fantasy surfing team for the 1st event!
If you’re unsure what fantasy surfing is, read below…

Pick a team using your knowledge of the surfer’s individual tendencies. And remember to take into account the unique aspects of each Tour destination to build the strongest possible teams.

SELECTING ATHLETES
Your WSL Fantasy Surfing team is divided into three separate tiers: A, B and C. You are required to populate each of these groups with a designated number of athletes. For the men, the number of required athletes in each tier is as follows: Tier A = 2, Tier B = 4, Tier C = 2. For the women, the number of required athletes in each group is as follows: Tier A = 1, Tier B = 2, Tier C = 1.
Every athlete is NOT able to be placed in any of those three groups. An athlete’s current CT rank dictates which group he or she is placed. As an example, Gabriel Medina, who starts the 2015 CT season ranked No. 1, can only be placed in Tier A of the men’s fantasy game. Similarly, women’s No. 9 Courtney Conlogue can only be placed in Tier B of the women’s fantasy team until she improves her rank.
As such, you will need to monitor your teams throughout the season and be prepared to make changes before each event because some athletes will see their CT rank go up or down which can potentially change their Fantasy grouping.
SCORING DETAILS
Your teams’ fantasy score is tied directly to the performance of the WSL surfers you select. For example, if an athlete scores 17.37 in a heat, you earn 17.37 fantasy points. The same is true for all the other athletes in your fantasy lineup.
Therefore, your goal should be to select the athletes that you believe:
1. Will advance through the maximum number of heats possible
2. Score the maximum possible points in each of those heats
To further illustrate, a theoretical perfect fantasy score through Round 1 would be 160 points (8 athletes x 20.00 heat points = 160 fantasy points).
At this point you may be asking “What happens when an athlete wins a non-elimination heat and gets to skip a round? Do I get zero points?” No, you are not penalized for your athlete’s good performance! Your surfer is awarded a perfect heat score of 20 points for the round skipped.
If anyone else is playing lemme know and we’ll see who has the right picks!

With my limited knowledge of comp surfing, well surfing in general, I am giving this a red hot shot.
How’d everyone fair for their first event?? Me? I’ve had better days, but im still beating Jeremy (just) haha.
I had a top score of 451. My biggest let downs were Julian Jordy and Jack Freestone. Maybe the cracked under the hype? Who knows.
On to Bells we go! Hopefully ill have a better event. If you get stuck with the picks, the guys over at surf-stats do a great job in crunching numbers. @Azz this might help you out a bit!
