Who stayed on the tour, who was left out, and who is in doubt?
Ahead of the final day of the Margaret River Pro and the start of the Gold Coast Challenger, here's a rundown of the state of play
By a hair's breadth: Messinas did not advance in Margaret and said goodbye to the elite
By passing that series against Jack Robinson, he placed one and a half feet in the second half of the year and in the CT 2023; the last position with a chance of qualifying was a four-way tie.
Series wins during the year will serve as the key to the tiebreaker for the mid-year cutoff
The criteria does not favor Lucca Mesinas who has three series wins, while Wright has five and Lau four.
Brisa Hennessy lost in the quarterfinals in Margaret River but regained the lead in the rankings
Lucca Mesinas' rival has been defined, he will face local Jack Robinson; Sakura Johnson Silva, Robinson, Picklum, Marks and Fitzgibbons were left out of the CT

Mesinas remains within the qualifying zone; Toledo and Wright won; the first qualifiers for CT 2023 were defined
Hennessy made it to the semis and remains solid on her path to the WSL Finals
She beat Johane Defay in a tight series; now she faces Carissa Moore who, if she beats her, will get the yellow lycra; these three, along with Tyler Wright and Lakey Peterson, are now the members of the top 5.
It is mathematically possible that Messinas will leave Bells while still within the qualification zone.
Tied with the same score line as Ezekiel Lau, the Peruvian needs neither Owen Wright, nor Morgan Cibilic, nor Imaikalani Devault to place third or better
Lucca Mesinas said goodbye to Bells Beach in round 3
The Peruvian has accumulated his third consecutive 25th and now awaits results to see if he remains in the reclassification zone for Margaret River
Brisa Hennessy made it to the quarterfinals at Bells and guaranteed herself a spot in the mid-year cut and the 2023 CT

In round 3 Lucca will face Ethan Ewing and Brisa will face Luana Silva
After the second day of competition, the rivals for the next stage of the Peruvian and Costa Rican competitions were defined.
