2 uur geleden zei Kelly Slater het volgende op Twitter "I'm not joking. I have not won the world title yet. I still have to win another heat! Give those shirts and hats back!"
Wat blijkt, er is een fout in het score systeem van de ASP geslopen waardoor Kelly nog 1 heat moet surfen om voor de elfde keer wereld kampioen te worden, foutje bedankt!
ASP zei;
REVISED 2011 ASP WORLD TITLE SCENARIOS:
- If Kelly wins either Round 4 or 5 (one more heat win) in San Francisco, he will confirm his 2011 ASP World Title.
- If Kelly fails to win another heat in San Francisco, Owen must win this event to send the 2011 ASP World Title race to Hawaii.
- If the race goes to Hawaii, Kelly must advance out of one heat to confirm his 2011 ASP World Title. If Kelly fails to advance through a heat at Pipeline, Owen must also win this event to stay in the 2011 ASP World Title Race.
- If Kelly fails to advance out of another heat this season, and Owen wins in San Francisco and Pipeline, the two will tie at best of nine, eight, seven, etc. events, and the 2011 ASP World Title will be decided in a “Surf Off”.
Het blijft dus toch nog even spannend!

ASP zei;
Here are the exact scenarios, according to the ASP. Basically Owen Wright needs to win in San Francisco and at Pipe, and Kelly would have to not advance through a single heat in both comps. In that case, they would tie, which would lead to an equally bizarre scenario: the ASP says the world title would then be decided by a “surf off.” Oooookay.
Here’s the breakdown:
