The Oceanic Body Sports Association, also known simply as OBS, is a Quentinian-based organization for Oceanic Body Sports in the United States of Quentin and Ravensonia. Consisting of nearly 1,200 professional obs riders, OBS organizes events and championships for the sport, including the OBS Ravensonian National Championship, OBS Coastal Championship and the OBS Quentinian National Championship. While the majority of players come from the USQ, there are nearly 300 who come from Ravensonia and are members of OBS. This is represented in the Ravensonian National Championship.
After obs was created in the USQ in the late 1960's, riders would organize their own events, but soon the OBS was created in 1982 to organize events and keep them fair, based on the OBS Standardized Quentinian Rules. OBS also divides the USQ and Ravensonia into two different conferences, and numerous divisions within those conferences, which each have preliminary championships each year. The 2019 OBS Quentinian National Championship winner was Gerry Shempskey, after he won both the gold in diving and riding at the event in BizTown, MLS. Shempskey also won the OBS Coastal Championship this past year.

History
Districts
The OBS is organized into two conferences, one for the United States of Quentin called the Quentinian OBS Conference and one for Ravensonia called the Ravensonian OBS Conference. There are numerous divisions under these conferences, but they usually correspond to the states of each nation, with some exceptions. Also listed are the Three Elites for each division.
Season Structure
The Obs season goes from May 20th to the second week in September every year. The two conferences, the Ravensonian OBS Conference and the Quentinian OBS Conference each play separate events until the OBS Coastal Championship pits the winners of each conference against each other in a final face off, though the skill of the QUOBSC players makes the Coastal championship less tense than the OBS Quentinian National Championship. There are 8 weeks for each conference, and each week competitors play against other competitors from their division, listed above. Points are given based upon a system of scoring for each competition, and by the end of the regular season in the fourth week of July, each division will have three top players. The OBS Last Chance Qualifier in the first week of August gives two added players from each conference a chance at the playoffs, meaning at the end of the year 35 players from the Quentinian Conference make the playoffs, and 14 players from the Ravensonian Conference make their playoffs.
The playoffs take place over the course of 3 days, in either the third or fourth week of August, whether competitors are in the Ravensonian or Quentinian Conference respectively. The Ravensonian playoffs have 3 rounds, with one round taking place each day, and the Quentinian playoffs have 5 rounds, with 1 round taking place each day until the last, which has three. In the Ravensonian playoffs, the highest seed gets a first round bye, while in the Quentinian playoffs the highest seed gets a first round bye, and then the highest remaining seed after the second round is allowed to sit out until the National Championship, due to the odd number. The OBS Ravensonian National Championship and Quentinian National Championship are both then played with the two final competitors in each conference, and the Coastal Championship takes place in the second week of September following the national championships.
Special Recognition
There are three players in each division who are classified as elites, meaning they made the playoffs that season without having to go through the OBS Last Chance Qualifier. Professionals are players who have either won the OBS Coastal Championship, OBS Ravensonian National Championship, or OBS Quentinian National Championship. Elites, unlike professionals, change each year, meaning elites are only recognized for a single season, while professionals keep the title forever.
