There is a two-minute time limit. Countdown starts with first trick.

Only one person per watercraft during competition.

Only one OEM or EFC recognized watercraft may be used during competition.
(See below list of recognized aftermarket hull manufactures by European Freestyle Championship)

The rider will be judged by four persons scoring on a scale of “1 to 10,” with “10” being best.

The judges will award a score of at least “6” if the full two-minute freestyle routine has been completed.

If rider fails to complete one-minute routine a score of “0“ points will be awarded.

Rider´s freestyle routine will be judged on:
25% variety of tricks
25% difficulty of tricks
25% execution of tricks
25% number (count) of tricks

There will be total of four judges , one for each criteria.

Judges must show scores using scoring cards after each rider´s routine.

Scoring cards colors:

RED - variety of tricks

GREEN - difficulty of tricks

YELLOW - execution of ticks

BLUE - number (count) of tricks

In the case of a tie for first, second or third place, each competitor in the tie will perform a one-minute routine.

Ties for all other positions will be broken by re-adding the high and low scores that may have been thrown out to calculate their original total score. If no high and low scores were thrown out to calculate the original total score, the highest single score will be used to break the tie. If still tied, the next highest individual score will be used and so on. If still tied, the riders will then perform a one-minute routine.

The decision of the Technical Director and/or Race Director regarding modifications will be final.
Any question regarding the legality of modifications should be directed to the PWCFREESTYLE.eu or FPWCA prior to use in competition.
