2024 Competitive Flatground Skateboarding (CFS) Tournament is an 8-skater double elimination* bracket style tournament

First place prize is $1,000

2nd place prize is $250

3rd place prize is $100

Bracket seeding placement is based on multiple factors including past performance in games of skate, other flatground footage, and how each skater ranks against the rest of the field, which optimizes competitiveness later in the bracket.

*Double elimination means each skater needs to lose TWO separate games before you're ineligible from further bracket progression:

Everyone starts in the major (winners) bracket for their first game (quarter-finals).

Losing the first game puts you in a minor (losers) bracket round 1, where you compete against the corresponding major bracket quarter-finals loser.

The two minor bracket round 1 losers are eliminated from the tournament, while the winners progress to the minor bracket 2nd round, and face the corresponding major bracket 2nd round (semi-finals) losers.

The two minor bracket 2nd round winners advance to minor bracket round 3, and face each other.

The minor bracket 3rd round winner advances to the minor bracket final, and faces the major bracket 3rd round (finals) loser.

The minor bracket finals loser gets $100 for 3rd place, while the winner ascends to the major bracket grand finals match, known as a penultimate 'if game'.

14-game scenario: If the major bracket finals winner beats the minor bracket finals winner in the grand finals match, the tournament is over and the major bracket grand finals winner is crowned the overall champion.

15-game scenario: If the minor bracket finals winner beats the major bracket finals winner in the grand finals 'if game', a second (15th total) game between the same competitors takes place, and whoever wins is crowned the overall champion.

One benefit of double elimination versus the traditional single elimination is that skaters are guaranteed an opportunity to skate against more than one unique competitor, and each have at least 2 chances to win $1,000 instead of just one.
