Cut-off Notes - Street Men Classification Criteria
- Pole Position: Skaters who are in the top 70% of previous year ranking will compete in qualifiers round in 2024.
- Wildcards: When a skater qualified for the 2023 Semifinals (top 15 in the Qualifiers phase) is selected as an invitee by the WCS for the 2024 Semifinals, the next descending skater in the Qualifiers ranking stays in the phase.
- New Faces: New participants will skate based on the selection criteria of the committee, which will assess the level to fit the total roster of competitors. In this case, the next ascending skater moves down to the Pre-Qualifiers phase.
Why the pole position system?
As you know and have experienced in previous years, O Marisquiño is held over a very short period of time.
If you look at the 2023 results, you'll see a photo finish of the current state of skateboarding in both Spain and a large part of Europe.
We have many riders skating O Marisquiño, and therefore, it is necessary to have an order of skaters and criteria that promote a balanced competition segmented over the 4 days of the competition.
