Guiding Principles

Though the details of the competition structure described by this organization may change, the system must always adhere to the following principles.

This system must measure the skill of tricklining

Tricklining is the act of performing complex body movements on a slackline.

This system must be accurate

The most skillful trickliner should always be ranked first, the second most skillful trickliner should always be ranked second, and so on.

This system must be fair

An athlete's rank should not depend on the specifics of the competition structure (such as where they are placed in a bracket).

This system must be numerical

The system must provide clear guidelines for assigning a numerical score to an athlete's performance.

This system must be transparent

The scoring system must be publicly available and understandable to any person inclined to read the rulebook in its entirety.
