MAX YOUR SCORE

Each competition follows the internationally recognised FWT competition format whereby each rider is judged by a panel of judges on their freeriding performance over a single descent, down the designated off-piste, steep, and often rocky competition face.

Competitors are then scored out of 100, based upon 5 criteria:-

• LINE choice

• TECHNIQUE displayed

• CONTROL maintained

• AIR & STYLE performed

• FLUIDITY of the overall run

They are then ranked in their respective M/F, Ski/Snowboard category. Read the scoring guide here for more info and watch the FWT scoring video.

SERIES POINTS

After each event riders gain series points based on their event ranking. After the final event, the competitors with the highest accumulated series points are crowned overall British Freeride Champion for the year.
