The final tournament will be judged by five categories, with one judge assigned to each category to determine the superior performance.
① Power
② Technique
③ Clean
④ Dynamic
⑤ Performance
Each category is evaluated by experienced judges.
The competitor who wins in at least three categories will be declared the winner.
Power
Rotational Power & Combination Power
- Rotational Power: The number of spins, flips, and twists performed, as well as their difficulty level.
- Combination Power: The number of tricks executed consecutively and their difficulty in terms of rotation and combos.
Note: The concepts of takeoff and landing are not considered, and even if a combo breaks, it is still evaluated.

Feet, Back Bounce, Foot Tricks
- Feet: Tricks that involve starting or landing with the soles of the feet.
- Back Bounce: Tricks performed while bouncing on the back.
