Rules and Format

Prelims will consist of 2 judged runs through the terrain park for each athlete. The entire run will count…all rails and airs attempted will be considered part of the score. Advanced athletes must compete in Timber Park and Intermediate athletes must compete in Pumpkin Park. The top 8 athletes from each division will be chosen based on the best score from the two preliminary runs. Finals will be a single-elimination, head-to-head format. That means the 1st place athlete will face off against the 8th place and whoever wins that run will continue on to the next round of competition. 2nd place will face 7th, 3rd will face 6th, and 4th will face 5th.
Prizes and awards

Prizes will be awarded along with medals for each category of competition. All athletes will automatically be included in a raffle to be conducted during awards at Timber Park.
