Scoring format
In skateboarding competitions, the scoring format is different from in figure skating. For the preliminary round, skaters attempt two runs, each with five tricks. The scores for these runs are tallied by a panel of five judges, with the highest and lowest scores thrown out. The remaining scores are then averaged to determine the final score. The top eight skaters are then qualified for the final round.
In skating competitions, the current scoring format uses numeric points for technical elements. This is intended to make the scoring process more objective and fair. By breaking routines into numerical points, judges can reduce the subjectivity and allow judges to evaluate each element more objectively. A skater receives a base value for each of their elements and can earn extra points for a good execution. An incorrect execution will subtract from the total score.
The competition is scored in runs of 45 seconds. The best four scores from each run are added together to determine the final score. The best score for each run is 40 points. Each skater performs one attempt in a heat, and the order of competitors moves on to the next attempt.
For skateboarding competitions at the Olympic Games, the scoring format is changing to make the competition more fair. There will now be two 45-second runs, followed by a phase of tricks. The competition format will also include a preliminary round of four skateboarders in order to determine who will advance to the next round.
At the Tokyo 2020 Games, skateboarding will debut as an Olympic sport. It’s one of five new sports, and it will feature the best skaters in the world. For fans of this sport, it’s important to learn how the sport is scored. Thankfully, it’s not difficult to learn, even if you’re new to skating.
