Category Rules

● The leader in a couple competing in the Open Freestyle category must have 60 points or more.
● The lead and follow cannot interchange their roles.
● All Aerials are allowed, including Death spirals and Acrobatics.
● As Aerials take up a lot of space the floorcraft rule is stringent to protect the safety of those competing.

from this category.
