Status: Passed on August 13, 2025
Background
I am proposing this for Ben, who as a non-voting member doesn't have the privilege to create proposals, but wanted this topic to have some more time to be discussed.
Proposal
/// OLD
9C.4.1 Judging Criteria
…
Difficulty (25% of score):
Score is given for technical difficulty of the tricks and combos landed during the battle/preliminary.
/// NEW
9C.4.1 Judging Criteria
…
Difficulty (25% of score):
Score is given for technical difficulty of the tricks and combos landed during the battle/preliminary.
Doing tricks in a combo awards more points then the individual tricks. A combo awards more points if the intensity of riding is high while a combo scores less if it contains many pauses or relaxing elements.
Body
Combos generate suspense which is exciting for the audience.
Adding too many little pauses like repeating trivial tricks or hops kills this.
The intensity of the whole combo and if it's kept up during the combo is more important then just the length.
