We will have a footbag tournament with the following competitions:

Shred 30

This event is purely technical. Competitors have to execute as many unique, difficult tricks in a 30 second period as possible. Their score is calculated with a mathematical formula, which takes into account the average difficulty of the run, and penalizes the players for repeated moves. Dropping the bag lowers the player's score in 2 ways: it lowers their difficulty ratio, and decreases the number of tricks they can fit in 30 seconds.

Rippin' Run

In this competition, a minimum of two players start a guiltless string (a series of moves with a minimum requirement of 3 components (adds) in between contacts) and try to outlast each other. Players are eliminated and the winners progress to the next round, just like in the single-elimination tournament.

Circle

This is a subjective competition. Players play in a circle of usually 4 people and take turns doing strings of tricks. The judges rate them in preferred order. This event allows a lot of the creativity that the players possess to come out and is a direct reflection of the game is played on a personal level, in a circle sharing tricks with other players.

All competitions will be for Open Professionals. No Intermediate comps will be held.
