The clever peeps at Surfagram.com have worked out the various permutations to the World Title race at Pipe: As it stands, three surfers are still on the hunt for the 2014 ASP World Championship Tour title Gabriel Medina (BRA) with 56,550 points Mick Fanning (AUS) with 53,100 points Kelly Slater (USA) with 50,050 points Kelly Slater becomes the 2014 World Champion if he wins the 2014 Billabong Pipe Masters, Gabriel Medina doesn’t finish higher than 13th place, and Mick Fanning doesn’t get into the final.
Mick Fanning’s situation is a little more complicated. There are three scenarios that could crown Mick. He becomes the 2014 World Champion if: Case 1: He makes at least a semi-final (3rd, 2nd or 1st), and Gabriel Medina doesn’t finish higher than 13th place. And of course, Kelly Slater can’t win the Billabong Pipe Masters Case 2: He makes at least a final (2nd or 1st), and Gabriel Medina doesn’t finish higher than a 13th place Case 3: He wins the 2014 Billabong Pipe Masters, Gabriel Medina doesn’t finish higher than a semi-final (3rd, 2nd or 1st). In all other scenarios, Gabriel Medina becomes the 2014 World Champion. Except one: the Surf Off. If Mick Fanning finishes in quarter-finals (5th) and Gabriel Medina doesn’t finish higher than a 13th place, both surfers end up tied. One last heat, a surf off, determines the 2014 World Champion.
