3. Tim Boal (FRA) 11888 points

4. Pat Gudauskas (USA) 11438 points

6. David Weare (ZAF) 10675 points

7. Yadin Nicol (AUS) 10500 points

8. Drew Courtney (AUS) 10475 points

14. Michel Bourez (PYF) 9600 points

16. Phillip MacDonald (AUS) 9450 points

17. Greg Emslie (ZAF) 9375 points

17. Leigh Sedley (AUS) 9375 points

19. Shaun Gossmann (AUS) 9363 points

20. Sunny Garcia (HAW) 9350 points

Ok, so that's only the top 20, and mathematically at least the top 50 are still in the hunt to qualify. For the rest of the ratings head here (Ratings).

With Nathaniel, Chris, and Tim in for sure, and Pat and Josh pretty much there as well, that leaves a lot of slots still open. 

From the ASP Rulebook on qualification: “The Top 27 men from the current year-end WCT ratings will re-qualify for the following year WCT tour. The remaining 15 surfers will come from the WQS current year-end ratings. In addition to the 42 surfers as listed will be 6 wild cards. These wild cards are to be distributed as follows: 3 to the Event and 3 to the Surfers.”

It gets a bit confusing with who qualifies sometimes because there are often overlaps with the top 27 and those who qualify from the 'QS.

But as it is now, who do you see as making the step into the big leagues next year? Will they be able to cut it on Tour?
