So what's happened with these big QS events in both Krui and Nias? Hardly any name competitors have bothered to enter at all. You do well in these two events and you're on the Changas next year. There's nothing rated this high in Australia. So what's happened with all the normal top ranked QS guys. Last year had all of the usual crew and this year hardly any. Is that a complete anti vote to the WSL system? Someone ranked hardly anywhere previously is going to win this event this year

I don't know for sure but it might have something to do with a tight fit between the QS and CS schedules.

There were three days between the Newcastle waiting period ending and Krui beginning, and four days between Nias ending and Ballito beginning.

If that is the reason then it counts out all the CS surfers.
