Nathan Florence Explains The WSL Mid Season Cut

[@simonbackwash]

Total non-sens, everybody hates including tour surfers hates this mid-season cut and agree with you guys for the most part. The tour will never be the same again. I miss the ASP tour when it became the world tour. With Andy, Parko's,Kelly,Sunny, that was the pinnacle. And everybody in the surf fans and on the Tour was ok and stoke if someone was winning before the end of the year because there was the Triple Crown and Pipe. The only change I would have done is to remove one stop on the tour and extend waiting period for final stop at Pipe.

The last part where the leader HAS to win the final event, in order to win the title, totally sucks.

[@blackmarkt2250]

Surfing & certain other sports like American football are entertainment driven, meaning they associations/organizations that run the sports are run more like corporations with profits as the ultimate focus. They are constantly tinkering to optimize for more viewership or higher engagement (i.e. formats that eek out the most drama)... but sacrificing the integrity of the game.

What about now ?

Point system means best surfer year round, all conditions gets the title. As long as they have the 'finals' at Trestles, it'll always be the small wave guys to take it. Lame.
