2023 Easterns® Invitation List – TO BE POSTED SUMMER 2023
Please check the 2023 Easterns Invitation List to see if you earned a slot, or must apply for an alternate slot to the 2023 Easterns®. Competitors signing up for the 2023 Easterns® are only eligible for those divisions in which they competed during the 2023 ESA Regional events.
If your name is on the 2023 Easterns® Invitations List you will have until 11:59PM on August 16, 2023 to register via LiveHeats for your slot. If you register after that date, your registration will be considered a late paid alternate and you will be put on the alternate list.
Alternates will be considered for any remaining open slots in the order of their registration on LiveHeats. If your name is not on this list you may still register for an alternate slot, but only in the divisions in which you competed during the 2023 ESA Regionals. Any competitor applying for entry whose membership expires on or before September 30, 2023 must also renew their membership on LiveHeats before registering for the event.
Invitations for the 2023 Easterns® are determined by the ESA’s 2023 Regional event rankings. If you did not compete in an ESA Regional event, you are not qualified to surf in The Easterns.
