​

​EVENT DESCRIPTIONS: 
Each competition includes three main events — Freestyle, Speed, and Skills. Every event earns League Points toward your season total.

​

Freestyle:  

Show off your best freerunning and parkour flow in a run up to 45 seconds long.

Judges score each run based on:
 

• Difficulty: How challenging are your moves?

• Flow: How smoothly do you connect your skills?

• Style: How uniquely do you move and express yourself?

• Execution: How cleanly and safely do you land and perform your skills?
   

Each athlete’s run is scored by five Judges. Each Judge is from a different Team affiliation.
Each judge gives an overall score on the Freestyle line form 0-100 points.

The highest and lowest scores are dropped, and the remaining three scores are added together for your final Freestyle Score.

 

Example:
The judges score your run 70, 65, 66, 71, and 60.

The 71 (highest ) and 60 (lowest ) are removed.
Your remaining scores (65 + 66 + 70) give you a total Freestyle Score of 201.

​​

​

Speed:  
Race through three unique obstacle courses in the fastest time possible. Each course will follow one of three theme types: Hot Lava, Sprint, or Touch Points.

​

HOT LAVA:  Most, if not all, of this course must be completed without touching the ground. Touch the ground, incur penalty time.

SPRINT:  This course is designed to allow the athlete to get up to full speed while overcome low level obstacles.

TOUCH POINTS:  Multiple touch points are arranged all over this course. Athletes must touch all the points in any order they want and then return to the starting position.
 

• Each athlete gets 2 timed attempts on each course.

• The fastest time per course counts.

• All 3 best course times are added together = Total Speed Time.

• Fastest Total Speed Time wins!

​

Example:
Course #1 [32.2sec and 30.1sec]
Course # 2 [15.3sec and 12.1sec]
Course # 3 [20.6sec and 24.5sec]
The fastest times [30.1, 12.1, and 20.6 seconds] are added together to get the Athletes Total Speed Time [62.8 seconds]

​​​

​

​Skills:  
Test your parkour control, precision, and problem-solving across 6 Skill Challenge Areas.
Each Challenge Area has 5 Skill Challenges with increasing difficulty (Lvl 1–Lvl 5).
That’s 30 total Skill Challenges!
​

Skill Points

• Lvl 1 = 1 pt … Lvl 5 = 5 pts

• Athletes earn points only for the highest level successfully completed in each area.
  -Earn up to 30 potential Skill Points.

• The most Skill Points total wins.

You must complete Lvl 4 before attempting Lvl 5 in any area.
 

"Attempts" Rules

• Each try = 1 attempt.

• Your total attempts are recorded.

• If two athletes tie in Skill Points, fewest attempts wins.
   

Skill Challenge Area Themes

Each Challenge Area focuses on a parkour movement type, such as:
Vaults • Laches • Half Turns • Balance • Strides • Precisions • Dynos
 

Example:
If you complete Lvls 1–4 in the Laches Area, you earn 4 points for that area.
