Street skateboarding takes place on a flatter course, with ramps, stairs, rails, and curved sides along two boundaries of the arena. According to the official skateboarding Olympic page, skaters will compete in four heats of five skaters each. For each round, each skater will perform two runs (lasting 45 seconds each) and five trick attempts.
While at the Tokyo Olympics, the panel of five judges scored each run or trick on a 10-point scale, ranging from 0 to 10, there is a change in scoring for the Paris Olympics. Now, skaters will be judged on a scale between 0 and 100. The total will include the skateboarder's best score from each of the phases — the best run out of two, in addition to two of their best tricks — for a final score between 0 and 300.
The top eight skaters overall will move on to the finals, where they'll be scored the same way in order to determine the gold, silver, and bronze medalists.
