Tried to word this better
11B.8 Finals
The top 5 or 6 riders will be chosen to participate in the finals, which should be a few hours later, or the next day. Finals should preferably not be before noon, because we want a lot of spectators, and we want to riders to have a chance to warm up and be ready to be at their best. In the finals, the same 3 zones will be used, and all riders will go at the same time for 12 to 15 minutes in each zone. (Depending on the possible time window the host can decide to reduce the time but 10 minutes is the minimum.) The riders are assigned an order and they may only attempt a trick when it is their turn. The order should be presented in writing as well as announced before the competition. Riders may choose to skip their turn in the event of an injury or any other reason. There will be 5 judges in the finals, and these can be made up from some of the judges of prelims, or even riders that did not make it into the finals.
11B.8 Finals
The top 5 or 6 riders will compete in a finals round held greater than 3 hours after the preliminary rounds. To ensure riders have adequate warm up time and to increase spectator numbers the final round should preferably be held in the afternoon/evening. In the finals, the same 3 zones will be used, with riders competing simultaneously with a minimum of 10 minutes and maximum of 15 minutes in each zone. The riders will be assigned an order and may only attempt a trick when it is their turn. The order should be presented in writing as well as announced before the competition. Riders may choose to skip their turn in the event of an injury or any other reason. There will be 5 judges in the finals. Judges can include preliminary round judges as well as riders that did not make the finals round.

Looks good Steven!

Pretty good job Steven, thanks a lot!
What do you guys think about this:
"In the finals, the same 3 zones will be used,..."
I think it could be added that the event director might modify the course by adding some new obstacles / changing distances etc.

It's up to the riders really? Do people think that is fair or unfair?

It shouldn't be up to the riders. Either a set number of participants should be set, or the "gap" should be used. The only problem is defining the "gap". I think we had the same discussion in trials.

How about we just set a number to get this through and if we can work out a "gap" by next time we change it to the gap instead of set number
