Judging For FMF Cup
XDL was the first to introduce consistent judging
and we continue to strive to improve our system. Below is an overview
of how it works. If you would like to license our rules and become
an XDL-accredited event, please contact Randy Grube at randy@xdlshow.com.
- Difficulty - Maximum 40 points This category
judges the difficulty of the tricks performed. The baseline
for what is and isn't difficult is established by the competition
committee. A maximum of 10 points can be earned in each of the
four disciplines: wheelie, stoppie, burnout, acrobatics. Maximum
points are earned by performing multiple tricks in each category
and demonstrating mastery of the categories.
- Flow - Maximum 20 points. This category judges
how smoothly a run goes and how well the rider transitions from
one trick to the next. Maximum points are earned through mastery
of the motorcycle, originality, and fluidity.
- Overall Performance - Maximum 40 points This
category judges the overall impact a run has and includes a
wide array of criteria. For example it takes a look at the aggression
in the run. Judges determine whether the tricks were maximized
(e.g. extension on circles, rotation/distance of stoppies, speed
of burnouts, commitment of acrobatics, etc.). And it looks at
excitement and presentation in a run, whether or not there was
a defining moment and of course it deducts for mistakes.
- XDL Judges - The fate of the national championship,
as well as a considerable amount of prize money depends on the
decisions made by these individuals so we pick the most qualified
people.
