Tournament Format
There are several different ways to have a tournament with paper skateboards, but they all have a few shared basic rules:
- To determine who goes first, ask the person of the group who has won the most battles to shake all competing boards and throw them on the surface where the competition is being held. The board that lands face down goes first. This applies only for turn-taking tournaments.
-A tournament must have at least three participants. A competition with only two participants is a battle.
-The object of a tournament is to be the last board standing. Each layer of a board is a life-a 6 layered board would have 6 lives. You must hit other boards by flipping or tapping on your board. A hit from another board equals minus one life. A board falling out of bounds equals minus 2 lives.
Below you will find the three standard ways to have tournaments- Team, Free-For-All, and Turns.
Turns
In this tournament, players take turns. Each person may only make one move per turn. Even if the board is accidentally flipped, it counts as a turn. The last board standing wins.
The "who goes first" shake must be performed at the beginning of a turns tournament.
