WHAT STEPHANIE GILMORE NEEDS TO DO TO WIN HER SEVENTH WORLD SURFING TITLE

* If Gilmore makes the semi-finals of the season-ending Maui Pro, she will claim the World Surf League title.

* If she finishes fifth or worse, rival Lakey Peterson must win the event to force a surf-off for the title.

* In the event of a tie for any world title at the end of the season, the tied surfers will have a "surf-off" during the final event and the format will be determined by the Commissioner's office.
