The Challenge
Team Up by Nationality
Back for round two, Nations Cup automatically teams up everyone on WOO by home country. Each nation's score is a sum of: Highest Jump Wing (M/W), Highest Jump Kite (W/Jr/Sr), Distance 1 Hour (M/W), and three Overall Highest Jumpers. To spice things up, we've added a great prize pool for the top three nations!
History
Expanded Format for Round II
Last year we ran our first Nations Cup, crowning New Zealand, The Netherlands, and Australia as the top countries for big air kiteboarding. This year we've expanded the scoring slots to feature a wider array of talent, opening up the possibilities!

How to play
Similar to other international sporting events, athletes compete for their country’s pride in a unique Battle of Nations. Post a Big Air or GPS session in the WOO app and your best result can power your home nation up the leaderboards. Each nation’s score is the sum of 10 disciplines: Women / Junior / Senior Kite Highest Jump (3) Overall Kite Highest Jump 1st, 2nd, 3rrd (3) Men / Women Wing Highest Jump (2) Men / Women Distance 1 Hour (2). Example: 25 m (Overall) + 15 m (Women Kite) + 5 m (Men Wing) + 40 km (Women Distance 1h) = 85 nation score. Riders are automatically assigned to a country based on the nationality set in their WOO profile, which must match their passport. Everyone’s free to ride anywhere in the world.gle, and your best result can power your nation. Country score (10 slots): Women / Junior / Senior Kite Highest Jump (3) Overall Kite Highest Jump 1st–3rd (3) Men / Women Wing Highest Jump (2) Men / Women Distance 1 Hour (2) These ten scores are added together to form the nation’s total. Highest total wins. Example: 25 m (Overall) + 15 m (Women Kite) + 5 m (Men Wing) + 40 km (Women Distance 1h) = 85 nation points. Riders are automatically assigned to a country based on the nationality set in their WOO profile, which must match their passport, not where they currently live or ride.
