How does the point system work in a snowboarding competition?
Like the X-games... I know they have judges but how do they judge a run to be 90.0 or 78.6? I also hear the commentators say other riders had better runs, so is it fair to have judges?
Answers:
S there any resort or a location to go snowboarding in NYC...or around there??
yes. It is as far as any olympic sport that has judges, diving, skating etc. It depends on the actual event but for example the superpipe. they will rate on1. amplitude
2. creativity
3. technique
4. difficulty
These are equally weighted and a competitor is judged by ex-riders and now take their jobs as judges extremely serious. I'm not a judge and i could for the most part tell what the score would be by just watching the run vs. other runs. It is true that as a competition goes on the judges tend to get tougher on the scores. But thats why you get 3 runs normally and the order varies.
