Frequently Asked Questions

USA FLT is the national sanctioning body for competitive Onewheel racing in the United States.

USA FLT connects independent Onewheel races through a shared points system to determine national standings, without controlling how races are operated or hosted.

Onewheel races are often isolated events with no shared structure or consistent way to compare results nationally. USA FLT was created to bring clarity, fairness, and legitimacy to competitive Onewheel racing through a single, objective system used across events nationwide.

No. USA FLT sets standards for rules, classes, timing, and national points. Event organizers continue to manage their own operations, schedules, and production.

Every USA FLT race uses the same formula:

Race Points = ((Your Time − Winner's Time) ÷ Winner's Time) × 1000

• The race winner always scores 0.00 points

• All other riders earn points based only on how far behind the winner they finish

• Faster times result in lower points

The system measures time behind the winner, not raw speed alone.
A score of 0.00 represents a perfect result for that race. Everyone else is measured relative to that performance.

Lower points are better.

• 0.00 points = race win
• Smaller numbers = closer to the win
• Larger numbers = more time behind the leader

No.

There are:

• No penalties
• No multipliers
• No event weighting

Every race is scored exactly the same way, regardless of location or event.

Yes. Every sanctioned USA FLT race contributes equally to the national standings using the same formula.

Season standings are based on each rider's two best race results.

Season Points = (Best Race + Second Best Race) ÷ 2

This approach:

• Rewards consistency
• Encourages participation
• Prevents one bad race from ending a season

Using a rider's best two races keeps the championship competitive and accessible. Riders are rewarded for strong performances without being eliminated by a single mechanical issue, crash, or missed event.

The rider with the lowest season points total is crowned the USA FLT National Champion.

No subjective judgment.
No discretionary decisions.
The results are determined entirely by the clock.

Ties are broken by comparing additional race results in order:

• Third-best race
• Fourth-best race
• Fifth-best race, then sixth, seventh, and so on

The tie is resolved using actual race performance—never opinion or chance.

This system rewards:

• Speed
• Consistency
• Finishing races
• Ongoing improvement

Every race matters, and standings always reflect real performance on course.

National standings, rankings, and sanctioned events are published on the official USA FLT website and updated as races are completed.

Media coverage varies by event. USA FLT publishes official results, standings, and sanctioned event updates. Events may also work with Amped Electric Games or other media partners.

This system is the official scoring framework for USA FLT-sanctioned races. Any future updates or clarifications will be published transparently so riders always know how they are being scored.
