Calculating Wheel freestyle scores

Wheel freestyle scores are based on a cumulative difficulty model where presentation, required elements, and deductions can affect the score.

Difficulty ($D$) is calculated by adding the points from each skill performed. There is no limit on the total difficulty score.

Presentation ($P$) increases the score by a percentage of the difficulty score calculated from the presentation marks (+, and -).

Required elements ($Q$) will take off a percentage from the total score.

Deductions ($M$) take off a percentage for misses, breaks, and time and space violations.

The result/routine score (called $R$) is obtained by multiplying the difficulty score ($D$) with the presentation score plus 1 ($P$), the required elements score ($Q$), and the deduction score ($M$). The result cannot be lower than 0.

$$R = D \times (1 + P) \times Q \times M$$

The calculation for each of these scores is described in the following sections.

Difficulty

The difficulty score is calculated similar to the Single Rope Difficulty score with the difference that instead of three judge types there are two judge types, D_A and D_B.

Presentation

The presentation score is calculated in the same way as the Single Rope Presentation score.

Required Elements

The presentation score is calculated in the same way as the Single Rope Required Elements score with the difference that skills are credited as a whole completed required element regardless of skill level, and that the marks are collected from the Technical Judge, similar to how pairs interactions are calculated for Single Rope.

Deductions

The deductions score is calculated similar to the Single Rope Deduction score.

Result

The result/routine score (called $R$) is obtained by multiplying the difficulty score ($D$) with the presentation score plus 1 ($P$), the required elements score ($Q$), and the deduction score ($M$). The result cannot be lower than 0.

$$R = D \times (1 + P) \times Q \times M$$
