Rulesets

Winter euc competitions will be held in the following categories:

Open for male, trans and non-binary riders (and as a choice for female riders)
Female for riders assigned female at birth

each category will have the following sub categories:

Junior consisting of the age groups
'Kids' (0-9 years)
'Junior' (10-14 years)

Adult consisting of the age groups
'Adult' (15-34 years)
'Senior' (35-49 years)
'Master' (50+ years)

We are trying out new rules for Flatland.
We aim to have more focus on battles, giving more riders the chance to participate in battles and increasing the interaction between riders in battles leading to more interesting battles instead of both riders just showing off their prelim run again in pieces.

To achieve this, we will start a first experiment by lowering the time needed for Prelims, decreasing the time per run and removing Last Tricks. We have also iterated on the judging criteria to more fairly represent the time it took to reach a riding level with the final score.
For battles, we are introducing a Battling score, reflecting a rider's ability to outperform the opponent. This can be done in different ways, for example by one-upping tricks the other rider does, setting tricks that their opponent should be able to do but can't, or reacting with trick variations that let the opponent's trick appear less difficult.

We hope that these changes will have the desired effect and will review after Winter EUC to see if further attempts or adjustments can be made.

Prelims
One 30 second run, no last tricks.

Scoring: Riders are judged on Difficulty (30%), Variety (30%), Style (20%) and Fullness of their run (20%)

Battles
1v1 battles of two riders doing alternating lines and tricks.

The top riders of the Prelims will be advancing to the Final Bracket directly. The rest will have to earn their place by reaching the top two spots in the newly introduced Qualification Brackets.

These will have 60 second battles (30s/rider) without last tricks. The final two riders of each bracket face each other in a Showdown, doing three Best Trick attempts to settle who places first and second, before advancing to the next higher bracket. In the Final Bracket, battles are 120 seconds long (60s/rider) with three attempts of a higher scored Last Trick. The battles for podiums (battle for 3rd and final) can be extended up to 4min (120s/rider) by decision of both riders.

The goal in battles is to show the other rider that you can do everything they can, but better; or that you can do tricks, that they are not able to land. This is done by reacting to the opponent's riding by doing a similar or more difficult trick of the same style, and setting tricks that the opponent cannot react to.

Scoring: Riders are judged on Difficulty (21%), Variety (21%), Style (14%), Fullness of their battle (14%), Last Trick (14%)
and additionally Battling, their ability to outperform the opponent (16%).

The exact number of riders advancing to battles is dependent on the amount of participants and will be announced before the competition starts.

Street follows the same ruleset as in the Unicon 21 competition.

Prelims
One 60 second run in the competition area of the skatepark

Prelim Scoring
Difficulty: 35%, Variety: 25%, Consistency: 20%, Flow: 20%

Finals
Two 60 second runs of which the better one is counted. Five Best Trick attempts of which the best two attempts are counted.

Finals Scoring
Runs
Difficulty: 35%, Variety: 25%, Consistency: 20%, Flow: 20%

Best Tricks
Difficulty: 80%, Style: 20%

Final Score
Run: 70 points, Best Tricks: 30 points (reduced by up to 25% for low variety in Best Tricks)

The exact number of riders advancing to finals is dependent on the amount of participants and will be announced before the competition starts.

Trial follows the standard IUF ruleset

Prelims
Each rider takes part in one of two 90 minute waves. Lines are provided in easy, medium and hard difficulties.

Prelim Scoring
Easy line: 1 point, medium line: 3 points, hard line: 7 points.
If a rider finishes all lines of the medium category they are awarded the points for all easy difficulty lines as well.

Finals
Finalists ride together in one 90 minute wave.

Final Scoring
Each line awards a maximum of 3 points reduced by 0.5 points for each pedal grab done during the line. (minimum points for completion: 1 point)

Categories
No Kids or Junior Final.
Best Adult, Senior and Master riders have a combined Expert Final.
Exact number of riders advancing to finals is dependent on the amount of participants and will be announced before the competition starts.
Separate Finals for Open and Female categories.
