- Top seven qualify for Finals - rest go to Last Chance Qualifier
- Skate in forward direction, no stopping or redos
- Each obstacle in each Lane may only be hit once in each Run
- Top score from Lane 1 and Lane 2 averaged to determine final score
- Strategy: When it comes time to choose a Lane for Run 3, it’s best to choose the Lane in which you have the lowest score
- Each run is timed
- Associated time from highest scored Run will be used to calculate overall placing
- Placing in terms of time is subtracted from best Run score to determine overall placing
- Maximum time penalty deduction is 10
- Example: If average of Lane 1 and Lane 2 is 79 and skater is the 3rd fastest clocked time in his highest scoring run, the final score for overall placing is 79 minus 3 = 76
