*As of July 1, 2023
■Overview
“SPEED” event is to compete the number of alternate foot rope jumps in 30 seconds.
■Scoring system
Athletes perform alternate foot rope jumps for 30 seconds. Judges count the total number of right foot rope jumps (one jump is counted when the right foot touches the ground after passing over the rope). Final score is the average of 2 closest scores out of 3 judge scores.
(Example) In the case of “right foot, left foot, right foot, left foot, right foot”, the number of jumps is 3.
(Example) If the 3 judge scores are “90 times, 92 times, 94 times”, the average of the 2 higher closest, average of 92/94, is taken to be 93.
