The 2005 Quiksilver California Cup will showcase 100 of California’s top surfers competing on five regional teams. The teams will face off in five events, which take place in five different locations in California (Ventura, Santa Cruz, Los Angeles, San Diego, Orange County), over a six-week time period beginning in Los Angeles April 14. The whole competition is based on a revolutionary format called THE GAME. Founded by National Surf League president, Brad Gerlach, and his father, Jumpin’ Joe Gerlach, THE GAME is loosely based on the NBA (4 quarters) and Golf’s Ryder Cup (team based golf). The result is a unique competitive environment that creates the hometown pride in each team’s local community and intense team and regional rivalries that are missing from current professional tours. “Never before in a surf competition has camaraderie been so important.” says Gerlach. “THE GAME encourages teamwork and is designed to bring the excitement and spectator-friendly nature of mainstream sports to surfing.” For six consecutive weeks, the home team plays against each of its four competitors over a 5-day period. This block of dates is designed to allow for changes in the weather and to create the best opportunity for good surf conditions. A toll free line has been established to provide information on the Game Week schedule. Media and fans can call 1-877-423-1803 or go to www.nslgame.com for up to date scores and news.
