Following the fall out of the 2012 O’Neill Cold Water Classic<\/a><\/strong> the question Kelly Slater<\/strong>, Joel Parkinson<\/strong>, and Mick Fanning<\/strong> fans keep asking is what will it take for their guy to win the 2012 ASP World Championship title. Here’s the “if list” from the ASP:<\/p>\n

If Parkinson finishes 13th, 9th or 5th at the Billabong Pipe Masters:
\n– Slater needs a 5th or higher to take the 2012 ASP World Title.
\n– Fanning needs to win at Pipeline to take the 2012 ASP World Title.*
\n*Contingent upon Slater finishing 5th or Lower at Pipeline.
\nIf Parkinson finishes Equal 3rd at the Billabong Pipe Masters:
\n– Slater needs a 3rd or higher to take the 2012 ASP World Title.
\n– Fanning needs to win at Pipeline to take the 2012 ASP World Title.*
\n*Contingent upon Slater finishing 5th or Lower at Pipeline.
\nIf Parkinson finishes 2nd at the Billabong Pipe Masters:
\n– Slater needs to win at Pipeline to take the 2012 ASP World Title.
\n– Fanning cannot win the 2012 ASP World Title.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

To cut to the chase, all Parko has to do is win the Billabong Pipeline Masters<\/a><\/strong> (for the first time) and he’s got the title. Follow the jump for the official word from the ASP.COOLANGATTA, Queensland\/Australia (Wednesday, November 7, 2012) \u2013 Event No. 9 of 10 on the 2012 ASP World Championship Tour (WCT), the O\u2019Neill Coldwater Classic at Santa Cruz\u2019s Steamer Lane, has been completed and won by Taj Burrow (AUS), 34.<\/p>\n

Heading into the final event of the season, the Billabong Pipe Masters, three surfers remain mathematically in contention for the 2012 ASP World Title: Joel Parkinson (AUS), 31, Kelly Slater (USA), 40, and Mick Fanning (AUS), 31.<\/p>\n

Due to the altered format for the Billabong Pipe Masters, all three surfers will automatically be seeded into Round 3 of competition and finish no worse than Equal 13th (1750 points).<\/p>\n

ASP WCT surfers\u2019 year-end rankings are based off their top eight finishes from the 10 ASP WCT events in 2012.
\nAs Parkinson is the current rankings leader on the ASP WCT, the following ASP World Title scenarios will be based on his potential finishes at Pipeline.<\/p>\n

If Parkinson finishes 13th, 9th or 5th at the Billabong Pipe Masters:
\n– Slater needs a 5th or higher to take the 2012 ASP World Title.
\n– Fanning needs to win at Pipeline to take the 2012 ASP World Title.*
\n*Contingent upon Slater finishing 5th or Lower at Pipeline.
\nIf Parkinson finishes Equal 3rd at the Billabong Pipe Masters:
\n– Slater needs a 3rd or higher to take the 2012 ASP World Title.
\n– Fanning needs to win at Pipeline to take the 2012 ASP World Title.*
\n*Contingent upon Slater finishing 5th or Lower at Pipeline.
\nIf Parkinson finishes 2nd at the Billabong Pipe Masters:
\n– Slater needs to win at Pipeline to take the 2012 ASP World Title.
\n– Fanning cannot win the 2012 ASP World Title.<\/p>\n

If Parkinson wins the Billabong Pipe Masters, he will take the 2012 ASP World Title.<\/p>\n

The Billabong Pipe Masters, the third jewel of the Vans Hawaiian Triple Crown of Surfing, will be run from December 8 \u2013 20, 2012.<\/p>\n
