Doubles discipline

Open Doubles Freestyle is one of the main disciplines in the sport of footbag. Competitors perform 3 minutes long routine to any music of their choice. The scoring of performances is quite similar to the scoring of figure scating. There are 6 judges giving their marks for technical and artistic level of the performance. The technical mark includes mainly difficulty, variety and execution of performed tricks. The artistic mark includes mainly choreography, "communication" with spectators and originality. Both marks are strongly influenced by the number of mistakes (these mistakes are called drops). All marks from all judges are transformed into the final score. The competitor with the highest final score is the winner.

Martin Sladek is one of the most innovative players of the discipline. He has invented dozens of new tricks and have been showing some of these in his competing routines and shows. The most of these tricks haven't been performed by other competitors and few of them haven't been ever executed by others.
