National Titles are decided by a second chance format progressing into two semifinals with the winner of each semi progressing to the final. Overall state winner is awarded by total points at end of championships - 2 points for a win, 1 point for a loss. Seeding is based on the result of team placing at the previous year’s championships. To determine the winner of the heat both surfers scores are added together as a combined team score. Highest combined score wins the heat. School surfing uses all the same rules (interference etc.) and judging criteria as set out in the Surfing Australia rule book. Each state is able to nominate a pair in each of the age groups and each of the divisions.
