Prizes
| Brought to you by:
Grand Prize - We will give away a boat trip for two. Destination
yet to be determined. The individual who has accumulated the most points after
the final event will be determined the winner. We will take the top eight scores
from the entire season. You have to be 18 and over to be eligible to win the grand prize.
How to play
Each owner will have
$50,000,000
in fantasy money to draft his/her surfing team, buying surfers who are valued according
to their current rankings and projected performance in the
2008
WCT surfing events.
Trading
PICKING YOUR
8
SURFERS - Each team owner can draft up to
8
surfers without exceeding their
$50,000,000
salary cap. Before each event, a surfer values may increase or decrease, but the
cost against your salary cap is the cost when you added your surfer.
Surfer values can change throughout the
2008
WCT schedule.
MAKING TRADES - After each event of the Challenge, each owner will
be permitted to make trades before the next event starts. The owner can make as
many changes as he/she wants before the next event provided that after each trade
the following is true: the cumulative dollar value of the surfers at the time they
were added does not exceed the
$50,000,000
salary cap.
NO TRADING WINDOW - All trading will be closed at the start of
the 1st heat and open again at the end of that event. In other words, trading is
disabled when the actual event is being contested.
Point Scoring
Surfer points are based on the number of competitors they defeat and their finishing
position in each of the actual WCT surfing events.
All 48 competitors ( top 44, plus wild cards)
will score between 0-150 points. Whenever one of your surfers scores points, your
team scores points. Obviously, the more points your team scores for each event,
the better. Each team will be awarded the cumulative total points for the
8
surfers selected for the current WCT event. Picking the top
8
finishers in order will yield a perfect score of
1,000
points.
Here's the formula:

Only the top 47 positions yield points. 0 points are given for surfers not ranking
in the top 47.
The Fantasysurfer scoring is set up so the surfers all finish the event with an
individual placing. For example, if you have one of the 16 surfers on your team
who lost in the second round but had the highest point total for that round he gets
the points for 33rd place (15 points). The surfer who has the next highest total
score from round two gets 34th place all the way down to 48th place.
TIES WILL BE BROKEN AFTER EACH EVENT by comparing each owner's
top scoring surfer for the event just completed. If the tie is still not broken,
this process continues with the second top scoring surfer and so forth down the
team until the tie is broken. If the two tied winners have the exact same scores
for all
8
of their surfers then their total event-to-date points will be used to break the
tie. If they are still tied after this, then the participant with the highest current
balance in his/her cash account will win. After that, any prizes will be split.
YOUR TEAM'S OVERALL STANDING will be determined by adding up your
team scores for each event. The overall winner of the Fantasy Surfing Challenge
is the team that accumulates the highest fantasy points for the best eight events.
TIES FOR OVERALL CHALLENGE POSITIONS will be resolved the same
way that ties are broken after each event, using the final event results. In the
rare event that 2 or more teams tie for the Grand Prize, the winner will be team
with the earliest registration date.
