In all categories each run will last 45 sec with at the chance at the end of that to try one bonus trick. The bonus trick will not decrease your score but can improve it. Each will be scored out of 10 to one decimal place. Eg 5.5. for an average run 10 for a perfect run 1 for a poor run. Top 2 riders progress in the open bottom 2 goes into the reportage competition. Runs will be scored on style, variety of tricks, difficulty of manoeuvres, and use of the whole wave and Progression of manoeuvres. How tricks are landed will also be taken into consideration. For example hands on the matt to land the manoeuvre will deduct from the score of the manoeuvre.
