World Cup Competitors to be Decided by Sunday's Freestyle

For the U.S. League Finals and Freestyle Championships, scores from the grand prix do not actually count, but rather determine the order of go for Sunday’s freestyle. Michael Barisone explained that riders never feel that is entirely true, as it is important to leave the judges with a good impression. “You have to be credible and solid. Don’t leave the judges with the feeling you are going to struggle.”
