OK, the World Surf League has a three tier system:
Regional Qualifying Series give local surfers a chance to join the pro ranks and get into the...
Challenger Series are fed by the regional qualifiers and points leaders can qualify for the...
Championship Tour, which ultimately determines the world champions.
That said, it was just announced today that the HIC Pipe Pro, a Regional Qualifying Series contest, is indeed happening! Again, the Digital Vans Triple Crown of Surfing includes the Pipe Masters, held between Dec 21, 2021 and Jan 21, 2022; it is sanctioned by the WSL but is not part of any of the three series. Then the Billabong Pro Pipeline, the first stop of the 2022 WCT season, happens Jan 29 - Feb 10, 2022.
Event: HIC Pipe Pro
Series: Regional Qualifying Series
Location: Duh!
Window: Dec 8-20, 2021

Pipeline is going to be extra-busy this winter, unless this La Nina run of small surf continues.
