![]() ![]() The job of a snowboard judge is effectively to evaluate each run of a competition, compare it to the rest of the runs and give it a score between 0 and 100.

It’s a great system because we can dive into the detail of the specific tricks, and the riders, coaches and spectators can see how the tricks were rewarded during the run. ![]() We then give individual scores for each section, with 3 of the judges still evaluating the entire run from top to bottom. That was instantly clear in the first Slopestyle Team Captains Meeting, with more questions than usual from coaches so they could understand what our stance was on certain features in the slopestyle course.įor the Slopestyle, we are using a section-by-section judging system with all 10 judges separated into smaller judging teams to focus on specific features of the course. What’s different is there’s a lot more pressure on us here than at any other competition. The last thing we want is to be caught out by something in competition that we weren’t aware of, and don’t have the space in our scoring scale to properly reward it.
