In line with the seeding and reserve allocation procedure for the 2012 Australian Surf Festival, Surfing Australia called on all State branches to reply (within a 7 day period) with additional entrants to fill the unfilled allocations by COB on Thursday 2nd August, 2012. The first round of reserve allocations have now been slotted into the festival's respective event heat draws and Surfing Australia will fill the remaining reserve allocations (Round 2) by invitation commencing today (Tuesday 7th August, 2012). Eligible State based competitors will need to contact their State branch to express their interest no later than 12 noon, Wednesday 8th August. Please note: Unfilled allocations can only be filled from non-junior divisions within their State team or from surfers that have competed in their regional and State Titles prior to the National Titles.
