It's official: Miguel Pupo and Yadin Nicol have qualified for the ASP World Championship Tour. Unfortunately, Yadin is recovering from an injury and will have to wait till Pipeline in December at the very earliest. But Miguel will debut his World Tour career later this month at the Hurley Pro, where he'll look to keep his Trestles hot streak alive (he won that golden railroad spike there earlier this year). Also safe from the mid-year chopping block are Ace Buchan (ranked #8 in the world) and Brett Simpson (ranked #21).
