<Competition method, etc.>
The halfpipe slides down a semi-cylindrical course and performs aerial performance "air" (= jump, rotation, etc.) to compete for points.
Air is usually about 5 times.
The height, difficulty, and perfection of the air are graded.
The referee will score the difficulty of the technique, the degree of perfection, and the variety of techniques of the entire performance.
There are 6 judges, and the average score of the 4 judges excluding the highest and lowest scores is the performance score.
The final will run three times and the best score will determine the ranking.
