Footbag freestyle

Footbag freestyle is a footbag sport where players demonstrate their abilities by performing sequences of difficult moves. In competition, there are 3 main freestyle events. The main event is where a player choreographs and executes a 2 minute routine to music. Much like figure skating, players are given scores for technical and artistic merit. These scores take into account choreography, difficulty, variety, and execution. The second major event offered at footbag tournaments is Shred30. This event is purely technical. Competitors have 30 seconds to execute as many unique, difficult tricks in a 30 second period. Their score is calculated with a mathematical formula, which takes into account the average difficulty of the run, and penalizes the players for drops. A third event is Sick Three. While not always an official offering, this event is usually held and judged informally at several events, including World Championships. The objective of this event, is for players to link three hard tricks together in the most impressive way possible. Players are usually given between 5-7 attempts to land a combo, within a maximum time frame of 2 minutes. This event is often judged by a panel of judges, who sometimes use videocameras to verify that moves were hit cleanly within the combo. Judging is purely subjective.

Freestyle tricks

Tricks performed while playing freestyle are made up of stalls and dexes. A stall is stopping the footbag on some part of the player. The footbag can then be "set" up into the air again. Stalls are usually accomplished on the top of the foot or on the inside in a cross body position (with your leg behind you), although one can also stall a footbag on either side of the foot, the knee, the chest, or the head. Dexing is moving a part of your leg around the footbag while it is in the air.
The scoring in footbag is made up of points called "adds" these adds are awarded for a variety of different things such as a delay (stall), a dex (circling the bag), body (ducking the bag, jumping, or spinning), cross body, or unusual surface. Through these different "adds" all of footbag's tricks can be described.
