FlatX2 is a new flatland competition for NAUCC 2025! We are excited to bring this new variation of the flatland competition in which riders will face off in a "2 v 2" format. Two riders on one team will compete against another team of two riders, essentially meaning a "two-on-two" matchup for flatland battles. Riders are judged based on the level of technical difficulty and variety, as well as combinations and transitions between skills. The judges determine the winning team of each battle immediately after the battle ends.
Rules: Teams will be randomly assigned. There will be no preliminary round, only a randomized bracket. 2 minutes per team with “Chess timer” format. Your time begins immediately when the opposing team raises their hands. 4 total last trick attempts per team, one trick per rider counts if landed. Riding synced is allowed, but a similar trick must be completed by both riders for it to count. Each non participating team has one vote for each battle. Judges should penalize teams who don’t share time equally. Judging criteria below should be used as a reference for teams during competition.
Judging Criteria: Preliminary rounds and battles are judged using the following criteria. Each category is scored out of 10 points, except Last Trick, and weighted differently: Difficulty (25% of score): Score is given for technical difficulty of the tricks and combos landed during the battle/preliminary. Consistency (23% of score): Score is given for number of landed trick/combos on total of number of tricks/combos attempted during the battle/preliminary. Flow (20% of score): Score is given for cleanliness and style of rider during the battle/preliminary. Variety (18% of score): Score is given for variation in the types of tricks done during the battle/preliminary. Last Trick (14% of score): Score is given for technical difficulty, novelty, creativity, and now. The rider is not obligated to use all attempts or to try the same trick every attempt. Only the last attempt will be scored. Other failed attempts do not subtract from the score. Guide on how to score points for last trick:
0 point: nothing landed or unworthy trick
1 point: passable trick
2 point: okay trick
3 points: good trick
4 points: great trick
5 points: insane trick
