How is the starting category decided?
Coach observations, previous results or recent riding video help identify a suitable challenge. A short placement check may be used when needed.
Times are Malaysia time (MYT). The same category venues and session times apply to all three League events unless an update is announced.
A high Novice score does not automatically make a rider Intermediate. Category guidance considers actual riding ability; published event tasks define the challenge at each level.
how scoring works
Your last round counts
Preliminary > Semi-final > Final. Earlier-round scores are not added together.
your event points
Last-round Score + Stage Bonus
01 / AVERAGE THE JUDGES
At least two judges score each attempt.
Judges normally use whole or half points. Average all appointed scoring judges, then keep the highest valid attempt from your 2-3 opportunities in that round.
Attempt | Judge 1 | Judge 2 | Average |
|---|---|---|---|
1 | 8 | 8.5 | 8.25 |
2 | 7.5 | 8 | 7.75 |
3 – best | 8.5 | 8.5 | 8.5 |
02 / USE THE ROUND WHERE YOU FINISH
PRELIMINARY
+ 0
If last-round score is 8.50:
8.50 event points
8.50 event points
SEMI-FINAL
+ 10
If last-round score is 8.50:
18.50 event points
Final
+ 20 total
If last-round score is 8.50:
28.50 event points
Reach the Semi-final: +10. Reach the Final: another +10, making +20 in total. Count only your best valid score from your last competing round, plus that bonus.
Example: Preliminary 9.00, Semi-final 8.50, Final 8.00.
Final Event Points = 8.00 + 20 = 28.00. Do not add 9.00 or 8.50.
EVENT FORMAT & PARENT FAQ
Know before you ride.
Each event guide confirms the course, number of attempts and heat progression.
speed
Timing, route accuracy and
controlled riding. Course penalties and the timing-to-points method will be published in the event
guide.
flow
Line choice, connection, rhythm and terrain use. Trick count, difficulty and variety are not part of this standalone event.
land that trick
Recognisable manoeuvres, clear completion, control and stable exits. The task list and
requirements are set for each category.
What if riders have the same points?
Compare the stage reached, then the next-best attempt in the last round, then the third attempt. Riders still tied may share a rank. Ties affecting advancement follow the event guide.
Does elimination mean zero points?
No. A valid score in the last competing round still counts, plus its stage bonus. One failed attempt does not erase another valid attempt. No valid result, withdrawal and disqualification follow the event rules.
What if my child cannot reach a ramp in Flow?
That does not automatically make the whole run invalid. Judges score the Line actually ridden. Required zones, independent riding and valid-run conditions are explained at the briefing.
Can riders from other schools or regions join?
Yes, subject to the same category, capacity and event requirements. Local League points are not a prerequisite for entering the year-end competition.
Is there a multi-trick bonus?
A variety bonus is proposed for the year-end competition, based on different successfully completed tricks within one Run. It does not apply to standalone Flow; final bonus values and tasks will appear in the Championship guide.
Are season rankings and the Championship the same?
They recognise different results. Rankings are kept by category; the Championship rewards the result on that day. Season counting, award eligibility and points after a category move will be published separately.
