The format for each event* will be an open jam session (six-minute heats with a maximum of four skaters on the course at the same time). The start list will be created in random order and overseen by the National Skateboarding Association of South Africa.

A minimum of three skaters will be selected from each qualifying city to attend the finals in Johannesburg on June 26.

Dutch Football Club Signs Toddler

When Baerke van der Meij, one and a half, drove three balls into the box one after another, his father Jorg posted the video on YouTube.
VVV, the club in the south-eastern town of Venlo where the family live, invited Baerke for a "trial".
They were doubly impressed by the fact his grandfather had played for VVV.
"Baerke did his best to amaze professional footballer Ken Leemans with his football techniques," the club said.
"One can speak of a right-footed player with a very good kick technique, perseverance and, importantly, football genes of grandfather Jan van der Meij."
Importantly, too, the little Dutchman can shout "bal" (English: ball).
The signing of the contract, with a little help from Jorg, was toasted with a glass of orange juice
