2012 IJSBA First Pre World Finals Update
August 24, 2012
Pro Freestyle scoring will change to a format where competitors earn points on Saturday and Sunday. In order to best encourage participants to give their best performance for spectators on both days of Pro Weekend, IJSBA is changing the system of points awarded to Pro Freestyle competitors. Saturday competitors will still compete for 60 seconds and the top ten score earning competitors will advance to the Sunday events. However, after the scores are totaled, the competitors will be assigned 50% of the Freestyle Points based on their ranking for the day. On Sunday, competitors will compete for two minutes for full Freestyle Points. After assigning the full Freestyle Points to the competitors at the end of Sunday's event, the points will be added to the points earned on Saturday. The combined point totals will determine the overall World Champion and remaining rankings for the year.
