26th Sept- Got a call in from Phuket today regarding the confusion on the contest results in the semi-final heats. It was unfortunately that during the heat, Mamat accidentally drop-in on one of the waves with other contestant. It is clear that his highest point will be slashed out and best 2nd & 3rd highest point will be calculated for his total points. It was announce on the loud speaker that Mamat cruises through to the Final heat although his highest point was taken out.
However, after the heat is over......Mamat was told that he is out of the contest and didnt qualify for final heat of the contest. So it was quite a confusion what was the rules & regulations that is involved on the drop-in situation. Do you cut their highest point or disqualify the surfer?
I hope the Quiksilver Phuket Contest Organiser or the Head Judge should explain how does this confusion happen in such a big event. I bet Mamat & Fairus deserve a good explanation on this so there isnt any confusion.

Mamat (Cherating) scored 10 points in 3rd Round in PHUKET, THAILAND!!!!
The swell increased slightly overnight and was consistent throughout the day, producing some intense competition in the run up to the quarterfinals that will be held tomorrow.
Standouts of the day in the Men’s Open were Mohammad Daud Bin Mohd (better known as Mamat) from Malaysia and Tipi Jabrik of Indonesia, who both dominated their heats and won by comparatively significant margins, as well as Thai surfer Noppasit Buanchuai who won his heat over a charging Michael Anthony.
The heat of the day took place in Heat 6, which saw each of the four surfers taking the lead at least once. Mohamad Mazrin Bin Nazrudin “Yen” from Malaysia, Jamie Smith and Preetcha Takira from Thailand, and Heng Liang Kuo “Googoo” from Taiwan battled fiercely during the 20 minutes of competition, exchanging the lead at virtually every wave it seemed until at the horn it was Preecha winning the heat and “Googoo” taking second to advance to the Quarterfinals.
After a break for lunch and some games and giveaways by event sponsors, the Longboard Division got underway at just before 2:30 pm. It was tough going at times in the lowering tide conditions, but the 8 heats managed to finish up with only one broken board.
Standouts were Nopphasit Bunchuai (Thai) and Preecha Takira (Thai), as well as women competitor Chen Lin Niu from Taiwan.
Tomorrow will see the Quarterfinals of the Men’s Open and Longboard Divisions, as well as some Women’s Open action if conditions allow. Competition is scheduled to begin at 8:00 am.
77 surfers from 10 countries (Australia, England, Hungary, Indonesia, Malaysia, Japan, Taiwan, Singapore, and the USA) are competing in three divisions, Men’s Open Shortboard, Women’s Open Shortboard, and Longboard Open for a total prize purse of over 240,000 THB (approx $7,500 USD).
