HSA MAUI COVID-19 MANDATORY CONTEST PROTOCOLS
(BASED ON CDC GUIDELINES FOR YOUTH SPORTS AND COUNTY OF MAUI RECOMMENDATIONS)
· Rounds are 4 to 6 man heats. Meaning no more than 4 or 6 surfers are in the water for each round of competition.
· Surfers are in from the same geographical area. Surfers are local residence of Maui, with a quarantine in place no surfers are from neighboring islands or out of state residents.
· Surfing competitions are not a team sport. This is an individual sport.
· HSA staggers the divisions, we run 3 divisions in a group, finish each round and that division goes home. Divisions average 12 surfers, so 36 contestants over 3-5 hours and then they go home is NOT a 100-person event.
