BATTLE RULES

GROUPS • Skaters are gathered in groups of 4, according to a crossed-chart following the world-ranking. The two best skaters go through to the next round and the bottom two are kicked out.

RUNS • In final, skaters go one by one for 3 runs of 30 sec + 1 last trick (2 attempts)

JUDGING CRITERIA • Mainly TECHNIQUE (difficulty and variety of tricks/combos, body control, speed and smoothness) and ADAPTABILITY/STRATEGY (how the skaters interact and choose their combos according to their rounds and opponents).
