In each heat, surfers are judged on their best two waves. The scores for those two waves are added together to determine their total heat score. The surfers with the highest scores advance to the next round (R/64 - HT indicates the Round of 64, Heat number). Those with lower scores are eliminated.
Before the competition began, fans were invited to make their heat picks. The statement "Your correct picks put you in the top among all players" indicates that some players successfully predicted the outcomes of the heats. This adds a fun, interactive element to the event.
But here's where it gets controversial... Some argue that hiding results, while intended to prevent spoilers, can actually decrease engagement. Do you agree? Does the suspense build excitement, or does it simply frustrate fans who want to follow the action in real-time?
