Organisation
of a local event
For new countries/association aiming to organise sport
events, who are can not host official international competitions,
(few skatesr, local action, budget ...) they can set a
local contest to developp their skating scene as a 1st
step,
and later
join
IFSA
Championship & Cup. How
to a local event on your own - with a
very little budget : What do you need ?
*
A
competition area :
competition area is up to the sports you organize
:
style slalom ? speed slalom ? high jump ? The common size
is 42meters*8meters.
*
A staff :
1 competition manager, a staff of some people to
play the CD of music + do the administration (list
of skaters
+ presentation of the results).
*
Judges :
IFSA suggest to invite official judges who know about
how to run the event & know about how to rank the
competitors, but in case it is not possible, for
a local event with little budget, you can set volunteers
scoring
the
style
slalom performance
around 2 keys (technique : is it difficult ? style&management
: is it smooth & match the music?). For speed slalom
& jump, local rules can be easy
to set. Local rules must be explained to the competitors,
they need to accept this settings
: no official judges,
but volunteer to run the event.
* A
time table - a schedule :
a precise time table is required, therefore an
estimation of the competitors taking part has to
be achieved.
Respect of the time table is very important for
the success of your event.
*
Equipment : chronometer
system - music system - table - chairs - jump board
(for high jump only)
*
Accomodations :
toilets, foods&drinks for sale have to be on
the event area or really near. First Help or infirmary.
How to do it ?
*
Freestyle Slalom : Each competitors come 1 by 1 on
the track to perform. 3 lines of slalom (20cones slalom
of 50cm + 20 cones slalom of 80cm + 14cones slalom
of 120cm),
1minute30s. The music starts, the competitor goes.
Each skater has 2 attempts. The best score is taken
into account.
Volunteer judges provide 2 marks : technique (difficult
or easy tricks) + Style&Management (smooth or not,
match the music or not). The score is the sum. The best
score wins.
*
Speed Slalom : line of 20cones (80cm). 2 attempt by
skaters. best time is kept to organise a KO
system ; 2 by 2 the skaters are going through the
quater finale, half finale & finale. The faster goes next
step, until the finale.
*
Jump : The bar start low, skaters have 3 attempts,
each time. If the bar is falling or the landing is
not clean, they fail. Else they remain in the competition.
Until the last one wins.
