This means the scheduled Championship Tour stop in June, the Oi Rio Pro, is officially postponed in hopes that travel conditions\u00a0ease enough to run this year. Our \u2018Next Call\u2019 update for the 2020 Championship Tour season and all our events will be on June 1.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The WSL has also announced an evolved Tours and Competitions format for 2021 covering the Championship Tour, the Challenger Series, and the Qualifying Series.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPrior to COVID-19, we had been working hard on how we would evolve the Championship Tour, the path to the CT, and all our tours in 2022 and beyond,&#8221; Logan said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The more we worked on this transformation, the more we became excited and it became clear that our pause due to COVID really allowed us to see that now is the time to accelerate these changes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Starting from next year, the women\u2019s and men\u2019s World Titles will be decided in a single day of competition on the last day of the Championship Tour season, with the top surfers battling for their respective titles in a new surf-off format. This evolution has been part of a multi-year discussion, and the final design is a collaboration between the surfers, partners, and the WSL.<\/p>\n<p>Two-time WSL Champion Tyler Wright said: \u201cI feel like the new format raises the intensity of the entire World Title situation. The difference is that you get to win in the water, which is huge! It comes down to nobody else, and that kind of intensity, that kind of competitive pressure, raises the bar. It\u2019s pretty exciting!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The world title being decided in the final, between two surfers in the running, is super exciting,\u201d WSL Surfer\u2019s Representative Conner Coffin said. \u201cI was glued to Pipe last year on the last day. So it\u2019s a great moment for the sport and it\u2019s exciting to think that from 2021 onwards that will always be how the world title is decided.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the redesign of the Championship Tour (CT), the schedule will be updated to create distinct seasons between the CT and the Challenger Series. This update will not only provide an enhanced showcase for the surfers, but also allow those who fail to requalify through the CT the opportunity to perform on the Challenger Series and requalify for the elite CT the very next season as opposed to waiting an entire year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith the Challenger Series at a different time of the year you can highlight the up and comers, you can highlight who is in the Challenger Series, you can highlight what\u2019s new, who is coming up that is fresh, who is requalifying, and the people that drop off the CT will have an opportunity to go on and completely focus on the Challenger Series,\u201d Wright said.<\/p>\n<p>Increased weight and value will also be given to regional Qualifying Series events to encourage up-and-coming surfers to develop closer to home without financially overleveraging themselves before jumping to the Challenger Series and beyond. The regional series will provide increased opportunities to celebrate regional stars, reduce economic pressure for surfers and sponsors, as well as drive media interest around those athletes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ll have more details soon but we\u2019re really excited about what this means for surfers and surfing worldwide. We are approaching these updates and evolutions as holistically as possible,\u201d Logan said. \u201cWorking with our entire community, we know we are going to emerge through this pandemic with a strong, exciting platform that propels professional surfing, and all surfing, forward in a positive and impactful manner.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For more information, head to <a href=\"http:\/\/WorldSurfLeague.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">WorldSurfLeague.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>THE World Surf League (WSL) has extended its hiatus as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, postponing or cancelling all events, at all levels of competition, through the end of June.
