[SKATE RULES]

SKATE is based on the basketball game "HORSE".

STEP 1.
A skater tries a trick, makes it, and each following skater has to
make it.  The first skater who doesn't make it gets a letter. The first
letter is "S," then "K", and on and on until "S-K-A-T-E" is spelled out,
but without dashes and quotes because no one likes unsolicited punctuation.
Any person who gets all five letters is out of the game.

STEP 2.
If the skater doesn't make the trick, the next skater gets to try a
trick of their own choosing and on and on until someone makes a trick and
then see STEP 1.

[COMPETITION RULES]

Call your trick. Tell the next skater up the trick youre going to do, like
shooting pool but without the eight-ball.  You may bring a magic eight-ball
to help predict the outcome of the next skater's ability to land a trick.

Once the board leaves it wheels, it must land on all four wheels. No primo,
manual, or casper landings. No hands on board at landing. No hands on the
ground, before or after trick.

OFFENSE. (your trick)
The trick must be landed clean. No feet dragging, no stopped landings, the
skater must ride away clean.  The same trick can not be repeated by the same
skater during the same game if a letter has been scored on the other skater
with that same trick.  NO REPEATS.

DEFENSE. (someone else's trick)
there is leeway for landings. This will be up to the skaters and the
scorekeepers, but it is truly objective: either the trick was landed properly
or not.

This will be a tournament-style head-to-head contest. Skaters are randomly
seeded into tournament brackets for two-man games of SKATE. The tournament
will be single elimination, so you keep advancing in each round until you
lose one game and then youre out.
