11D.11 Final
When the competition has been completed, the top riders for male and female would
compete in the Final round for the championship. The minimum number of top riders
would be 6 for each male and female with the upper limit up to the host. If there are
fewer than 6 competitors in the highest level category, no Final is necessary. The results
from the prelims will be taken as the Final results and the top rider will be declared the
champion. There should be at least 6-10 additional lines that represent the difficulty
of the top riders. Male and female Finalists may have different lines depending on the
overall ability of each group.
In the Finals, long lines with multiple skills can be built completely new or combined
from existing lines which were used in the preliminaries. The host should take attention
that the lines for the Final are close together and on a place that is good for spectators.
Depending on the used obstacles, there should be 20 - 30 minutes of competition time
for each group. Between the competition and the Final should be a minimum of a 1-hour
delay, or on another day.

Having a Final in the Junior categories is also optional. The results
from the prelims will be taken as the Final results in these cases.

Body
- removing a paragraph in 11D.4 to not merge categories across different ages to guarantee a separate junior competition.
- changing the wording in 11D.11 to clearly mention a possible Junior Final and a fallback in case no Junior Final is done.
