Contest Sign-up
Contest Sign-up (for Saturday AND Sunday) must be completed at https://www.liveheats.com by 3pm on the Friday before the comp weekend. The comp will be closed and the draw will then be published on LiveHeats. The Sunday comp sign-up (if we don’t run Saturday) will stay open until 3pm Saturday.
Search for Sandshoes Boardriders at the LiveHeats web address above.
At Sandshoes we have 4 possible contest dates per month as per the contest schedule below. We will always endeavour to run the comp on the first allocated weekend of the month as well as make an early call on the Thursday or Friday if the forecast looks dire.
Pointscore 1 has 4 chances to run. We will create 2 events for the first window ie Saturday 1.1 and Sunday 1.2. If we don’t run either of those we’ll create Saturday 1.3 and Sunday 1.4.
Please only register for contests that you can commit to attending until completion.
Signing up also means you should volunteer for at least one job for the day – set up, pack up, judging or BBQ.
Contest Schedule
Championship point score events are held each month – February to November – and competition is in three divisions – Open, Masters/Old Soles, and Junior/Supergrom. We hold one competition each month, we set aside two weekends of each month but only use one day (based on wave conditions).
