Conditions
In the case where it is clear that the weather (rain / hot weather) or other external conditions will not allow the completion of the intended competition format, the Technical Delegate (after discussing with the Event Director) may opt to apply an alternate competition format or postpone the competition start depending on participant numbers.
If the competition format changes (depending on the competition round of application and provided that equal opportunities have been granted to all competitors), all athletes competing in a single heat will complete a first run then try and complete the second run and so on. If the competition has to be stopped, the round ranking will be established based on the completed runs (for example, the same number of runs are considered for all athletes).
This system also applies to the 2/5/3 skateboarding competition format. If the competition has to be stopped, all skaters will be marked as DNS in the interrupted run or trick, and the final ranking will be established based upon the number of runs or tricks that all skaters have completed.
