Scoring a Halfpipe or Slopestyle
Scoring a Halfpipe
The most important thing to understand about any freestyle (halfpipe or slopestyle) event is how the event will be scored and which format will be used to determine who goes to finals. This information will come from the race organizer or the event jury. There is also in depth information in the FIS ICR handbook as well as the USSA Comptition Guide.
As of the 2011/2012 Revolution Tours and NorAm cups are scored using a qualifying system that consists of two or more heats where the best of two runs decides who will go to the finals. Both of these can be changed based on the size of the field and any force majeur jury decisions.
At the Revolution Tour, the men's finals are determined by the Top 4 athletes in each heat, then the next Top 4 athletes over all. For women, the top 6 athletes from the qualifying round advance to finals.
Where to start?
