Sunset Duckies Cup — heat sheet 🏁

How this sheet works — Heats are drawn the day before (Sat 30 May) and the master heat sheet goes up at the registration desk: it lists every heat, who's in it, and the start time. At the start of each heat, the head judge gives each judge a fresh copy of this scorecard and calls out the surfers by name. Write each surfer's name on a blank line below before the horn goes. Then tick boxes wave by wave.

5 tick boxes per wave — Paddle & commit · Pop-up · Stance · Ride · Stoke. Tick if YES, leave blank if no. Best 2 waves count. Max 10 ticks per surfer. Tiebreak 1: total waves attempted. Tiebreak 2: head judge's "wave of the heat" shaka.

Advancing to the Final 👑 — One combined Final, up to 8 surfers (2–3 ducklings + 3–4 ducks). Ring each surfer's ♂ / ♀ below; the head judge then advances:

• Duck heats: the top boy AND the top girl from this heat = 4 ducks across the two duck heats. If a heat has no boys or no girls, advance the next-best surfer instead so each crown is still fillable.
• Duckling heats: the top surfer from this heat = 2 ducklings. Head judge may add 1 wildcard if a third duckling clearly earns it (max 3).

Inside the Final, rank ducklings vs ducks separately on the same card — top duckling boy/girl = Duckling King & Queen; top duck boy/girl = Duck King & Queen.
