I think KSUSA should vote a $25 scholarship to each of these top 10 point leaders to defray their expenses to Australia!

Just a head's up, we're only 4 months away from the World Titles in Australia. The US dollar is strong and there may not be a better time to visit AUS. Let Joe or me know if you're planning to be a part of Team USA

So if you are not seeded by KSUSA, can you still enter?

Yes, you can still enter but you will not be ranked. To qualify, competitors should have completed in at least one of the last two KSUSA events or other kneeboarding contest. That can be waived for injuries or travel hardship or other circumstances that prevented you from competing.

All the above.
I assume that by not being ranked that means not being seeded, is that correct?

That's correct. I don't know the exact format of the World Titles this year. In the past, top ranked competitors were seeded directly into the Open division round of 64 and lower ranked competitors would surf the qualifying rounds of the Open.

Better story for the Grandkids to work up from the qualifiers. Book me.
