Setting the cornerstones for new contest formats!

Globetrotter World Slackline Masters, Team battle, Munich!

Together with Globetrotter and the city of Munich we are going into new directions of contest formats to find even more exciting and challenging Trickline contests. For the first time in history we will be hosting an international team battles with world class slackliners facing new challenges: A) to work as a team to win the contest and B) to present tandem tricklining  on a high competive level. Tandem tricklining? Yes… this is two slackliners on one slackline performing tricks at the same time! Teams from all around the globe have and are still registering (We will announce when our brackets are full).  

The teams (2 athletes each) will be facing three contest challenges starting with a 3min freestyle performance in round 1. The best 8 teams are then seeded for the quarterfinals where in a team vs team challenge the athletes battle two single matches (2 min per round each). In case there is a draw a tandem showdown, with 30sec per team, decides which team moves through to the semifinals. Here 2 teams will battle with all athletes in one session with 3min per team taking turns to convince the judges with their performance. In this challenge leading through to the finals, the time for each team will start as soon as the other team athletes step or fall of the line! As a special highlight each team will have 2 tandem sessions they can use to collect extra points from the judges. Wether a choreography or freestyle the judges will judge not only their creativity, difficulty,diversity, style and amplitude, they will also look at how the two work together to show a unique team performance. “We want to give this idea space to develop but yet celebrate the diversity of the sport”. Due to this reason we invite everyone after the show to contact us directly or give feedback via our channels and decide which format from the three or combination you like the best.
