Day 1: Qualifying round is streaming NOW starting with last season's champ, Daigo Saito, kicking it off in a few moments. Link: http://formulad.com/live/

Day 2: The actual competition event time will be Sat Apr 13, 2013 12:00pm EDT — Sat Apr 13, 2013 9:00pm EDT streaming from the same link.

Several 86es are coming to play this season. Judging is based on speed, line, angle, and style. One new innovation this season to make judging the first three criteria more objective is to digitally recreate runs onto a digital map and use the metrics from that. I'm new to watching this stuff but part of the fun is picking things up from watching along.

The most epic battle happened in the Sweet 16. Aasbo and Saito had to do 6 runs because the first 2 and then 4 runs weren't enough for the judges to decide on a winner:
