SLAP Magazine’s Mark Whiteley and Joe Brook are the Team Captains for the Regular team while The Skateboard Mag’s Dave Swift is Team Captain for the Goofy team. Each Team Captain picks five skaters to pre-qualify for their Team. These five pre-qualified skatersthe Starting Fivewill go straight into the GvR Finals on Sunday.
On Saturday, qualifiers for the rest of the Goofy and Regular Team skaters take place. The Goofy and Regular skaters will compete to make the cut of ten for each Team. The ten from each Team then join the five pre-chosen skaters and these fifteen skaters then comprise each Team for the Finals on Sunday.
During Sunday’s Finals, skaters on both Teams will compete in two distinct sessions. In the first half, a coin toss will determine which Team skates first. Each of the three heats will feature five different skaters from both Teams who will skate one introductory run followed by a five-minute jam. In the second half, each team, goofy and regular, will skate in two 10-minute jams.
Each team may substitute freely after five minutes of the heat, however, the starting five for each jam must be different. Injury substitutions are allowed at any time. There will be two Heats for each team, Regular and Goofy. Finally, if less than 25 points separates the two teams, the Team that is behind in overall score will challenge the other Team to a game of SKATE in any area or on any obstacle in the skatepark they choose. Each Team will pick two skaters to go head-to-head and the winning team will receive an extra 25 bonus points towards their overall score.
