First time watching this sport, it doesn't look audience friendly at all, but maybe it's not as chaotic as it seems at first. 

The main rounds are one on one, and that's definitively easier to follow.

The graphics aren’t as good as the ones used by ISA/ISL. Generally, score board shows the total score, best two wave scores (which added up are the total score), current wave score, and score needed to take the lead.

 

The rules can be complicated, but the causal viewer can watch the sport and just appreciate what’s going on (like many other Olympic sports).

Great result from him... he will be seed 5# now, or better if John John and Medina dont take the first place

Was this moved in the schedule? Pretty sure it was originally scheduled to start a few minutes ago instead of two hours ago.

No, I dont think so...

 

I haven't seen any change on surfing schedule

Boukhiam  nearly caused an upset win as well. Some interesting results in the 1st Round.

Scoreboard shows Munoz  as a participant in heat 5. I guess was reallocated the Portuguese quota but unable to make it to Tokyo in time…
