Brazil no longer has a chance of winning the extra slot awarded at the ISA World Surfing Games being held in Huntington Beach, according to calculations made by DUKE. The defeat of their last two competitors, Miguel and Samuel Pupo, left them out of contention.

On the other hand, the locals from the United States lead the race with the final day ahead and if they were to have the worst possible scenario (that Kolohe Andino and Nat Young lose in one go), they would still be adding a reasonable score to fight for the precious place that is presumed to go to Kelly Slater, a specialist in Teahupoo, where Olympic surfing will take place in 2024.

The countries that still have a mathematical chance of overtaking the United States on Saturday are Indonesia, Portugal, Japan and Australia.

Portugal and Australia need Nat Young and Kolohe Andino to finish as low as sixth and eighth respectively and Kanoa Igarashi and Jackson Baker to finish second or better in the event.

Japan, meanwhile, is doing a little better, needing a miracle if the Americans lose and with Kanoa Igarashi placing third or better.

Indonesia, with two competitors in the 11th round of the repechage, Ketut Agus and Rio Waida, have a better chance, basically needing to overcome the Americans on the final day.

That play-off series 11 will be key to the final because it has the two Indonesians, along with Kolohe Andino and Jackson Baker. If the two Indonesians lose there, they will no longer have any chances for an extra slot. If Jackson Baker loses, Australia's hopes will be gone, but if Kolohe loses, the United States will be dependent on Nat Young.

The main event final went like this:

 

The playoff round 11 series is as follows:
