One run of 2min Am and Master Finals: one run of 2min 30 sec Pro Finals:

Like last year: 12 riders make the cut from qualifications. They will fight for the F.I.S.E title in a one to one battle “Red Bull Circle of Balance” style.

Seeding System :
Round 1: Battle 1 Q6 vs Q7 Battle 2 Q5 vs Q8 Battle 3 Q4 vs Q9 Battle 4 Q3 vs Q10 Battle 5 Q2 vs Q11 Battle 6 Q1 vs Q12

Each riders has his own clock. and can use his time (2min) the way he wants. Example: rider A starts his combo. His clock starts. When riders A finishes his combo, he raises his hands. his clock stops while rider B's clock starts. Rider B has to start his combo as quick as possible so he doesn’t waste his time. When rider B is done riding, he raises his hand so his clock stops and riders A clock starts. etc etc.

When there is only 10 sec left on the clock, riders can’t stop their time anymore, and they have to finish their combo before the buzzer. Any tricks not completed after the buzzer will not count. The decision will be made by the judges with flags (black and red). The riders who win make it to the semi final. The riders who lose is automatically out.

Same system for the semi-final but 2min 30 on the clock. There will be a 3 mens final: Each rider will have two runs of 1 min and a last trick of 30 sec.
