1) Binding Agreement
By registering online (including ticking the acceptance checkbox) and/or signing this agreement on-site, I ("Participant") confirm I have read, understood, and agreed to these rules and terms.
If the Participant is under 18 (or not legally an adult under local law), a parent/legal guardian ("Guardian") must also accept and sign. Where relevant, a coach/team manager may be recognized as an Official Representative only under the conditions in Section 4.
2) Eligibility and Accurate Information
The Participant must provide true, accurate, and complete registration information.
The Participant must meet the event’s discipline/division eligibility rules (age category, division level, and any other requirements announced by the Organizer).
The Organizer may request valid identification at any time (online verification or on-site check-in). Failure to provide valid ID may result in removal from the event without refund (if any).
3) Event Authority and Official Decisions
The event is governed by the Organizer and appointed officials (including Competition Director, Head Judge, Judges, Technical/Scoring Team, and their delegates).
All official decisions regarding judging, scoring, ranking, penalties, disqualifications, scheduling, and event operations are binding, subject only to the official protest process in Section 11.
The Organizer may issue official clarifications (for example at riders’ meetings or in official bulletins). These clarifications become part of the event rules.
REGISTRATION AND MINORS
4) Registration Authority and Minor Representation
4.1 Individual Registration Default
This event is primarily designed for individual registration. Each Participant is responsible for the accuracy of their data.
4.2 Under-18 Participants and Guardian Authority
If the Participant is under 18, the Guardian must:
- Accept these Terms & Conditions (online and on-site).
- Assume responsibility for the minor’s conduct, medical decisions, and legal obligations connected to participation.
4.3 Assisted Registration (No Team/Club Registration in HyperScore)
HyperScore online registration is available only as individual self-registration (one Participant = one registration). The Organizer does not provide a team/club registration feature in the HyperScore system.
A coach, club staff, friend, or other third party may assist a Participant in completing registration (for example helping to fill in data or upload documents). However:
- No Transfer of Authority: Assistance does not give any third party the right to accept Terms & Conditions, submit protests, or make decisions on behalf of the Participant, unless they are legally authorized under Section 4.2 (Guardian for minors) or applicable local law.
- Guardian Consent Still Mandatory for Minors: If the Participant is under 18, the Guardian must accept/sign these Terms & Conditions (online and on-site as required) regardless of who completed the data entry.
- Participant/Guardian Responsibility: The Participant (18+) or Guardian (under 18) remains fully responsible for the accuracy of the registration information submitted through HyperScore.
- Right to Reject/Cancel: The Organizer may reject or cancel any registration if there are reasonable concerns of fraud, impersonation, missing Guardian consent for minors, or inaccurate information.
4.4 Who the Organizer Recognizes On-Site
For any Participant under 18, the Organizer recognizes the Guardian as the final authority for medical decisions, waivers/liability acceptance, and disciplinary outcomes. A coach may assist only within the limits above.
SAFETY, CHECK-IN, AND EVENT FLOW
5) Mandatory Check-In and Schedule Compliance
Mandatory Check-In Window: [DATE], [TIME START] to [TIME END]. The Participant must check in on time and follow the check-in process.
Missing check-in, riders’ meetings, heat calls, or safety briefings may result in DNS (Did Not Start), disqualification, or removal, at officials’ discretion.
The Organizer may change the schedule, format, heat order, or timing due to safety, weather, course conditions, operational needs, or force majeure.
6) Safety Gear and Participant Responsibility
6.1 Unified Helmet Rule for Mixed/Shared Course (Mandatory)
Because the competition area is a shared/mixed-use course (BMX + Skateboarding + Aggressive Inline) and Participants may access the full area, helmet use is mandatory for all Participants at all times while riding inside the competition area, including:
- Practice/warm-up sessions (official or controlled).
- Competition runs/heats.
- Any riding sessions permitted by event staff.
6.2 Helmet Standards
Helmets must be properly fastened and in safe condition. The Organizer may reject visibly damaged or unsafe helmets.
6.3 Additional Protective Gear
Knee pads, elbow pads, wrist guards, and mouthguards are strongly recommended. The Organizer may require additional protection for specific divisions, disciplines, or conditions (for example: wet surface, high-speed areas, advanced divisions).
6.4 No Helmet = No Ride
Refusing or failing to wear a helmet as required results in immediate stop of riding and may lead to disqualification (DQ) or removal from the event area if repeated.
6.5 Personal Responsibility and Risk Acknowledgement
Participant/Guardian acknowledges action sports are inherently risky and accepts responsibility for personal readiness and skill level, equipment condition, following safety instructions, and choosing lines appropriately.
Basic first aid may be provided, but Participant/Guardian is responsible for any additional medical costs, treatment, and related liabilities.
6.6 Safety Overrides
The Competition Director / Head Judge / Safety Officer may issue safety instructions at any time (for example restricting obstacles, closing areas, changing run direction). These instructions are binding.
CONDUCT, JUDGING, AND DISCIPLINE

Participants, Guardians, coaches, and supporters must not:

- Distract other competitors or interfere with judging/scoring operations.

9) Judging, Scoring, and Results Publication
Judging uses the official event format and criteria announced by officials (for example: difficulty, execution, consistency, variety, style, use of course, rule compliance).
Participants acknowledge judging involves human judgment and can include subjective evaluation within the rules.
Results and rankings published by the Organizer are official records. The Organizer may correct clerical/technical errors.
