Info & Rules
European Onewheel League
2025
The 2025 season will no longer feature Tier 1 and Tier 2 races! All events give out the same amount of points.
Season 2025 qualifications start in May with Wacky Wheels in Hungary and will end in August with Send it Surrey in the UK.
A total of 16 male and 8 female riders will be qualified to the European Onewheel League Finals in Portugal in October!
Breakdown of Points
Individual event results
In a standart race, there will be two options to determine the top 16 or 32 riders, these being either 2 time trial runs with electronic time tracking or the “groups and points” system. After the qualifications, these riders will be divided into brackets and will race heads up in groups of 4 (or 8 people).
If time allows, the event organizer can set up lower bracket finals for the eliminated riders, if there is no time to run the lower bracket finals, the positions will be determined by their qualifying round results.
There are two options for those rankings:
OPTION 1 - Lower brackets
If there is time at the event, races will be set up to determine position 5 to 16.
In the quarter finals there are 8 people eliminated.
4th places will race each other
3rd places will race each other
In the semi-finals all eliminated riders will race each other.
OPTION 2 - Qualification round results
The ranking for positions 5 to 16 will be determined by the qualifying round results.
The results only between 4th places will be compared first and then only between 3rd places to have the correct ranking.
Points Total
The top 3 results of highest point value for each rider will count towards their rankings. If they do not attend 3 races, all their results will count.
Points will be awarded to the top 50 men and top 30 women at each race.
If there is a tie in points, we will look at a 4th result from those racers. If both racers do not have a 4th result, then the mean place will be calculated for their 4th result.
The top 3 riders of the EOL ranking at the end of the season, both male and female, will receive the following:
1st Place
- 5 free tickets for any EOL event in the next season
- Seat on the EOL committe during the next season
2nd Place
- 3 free tickets for any EOL event in the next season
3rd Place
- 1 free ticket for any EOL event in the next season

Rules and Regulations
Rules for Event Organisers
For your event to qualify as part of the European Onewheel League you must:
Provide a race format that has qualifiers leading to a final encompassing multiple riders on course with direct elimination between races (diferent race formats are also allowed with previous approval from EOL Board).
Ensure riders must be on their board when crossing the finish line.
Ensure you have a rule enforcing no physical contact.
Ensure racers wear a helmet and wrist protection as a minimum.
Have a qualifying system by “Time Tracking” or by “Brackets & Points” (diferent qualifying formats are also allowed with previous approval from EOL Board).
Rules for Competitors
All racers must be able to control their board at all times and ride safely. This includes starting, stopping, standing still, and dismounting. The event organizer or an EOL Official has the authority to disqualify a rider who they decide cannot safely control their board.
No “off-board” controllers or devices (e.g. remote tilt controller) will be allowed in EOL sanctioned races, any rider found using one of these devices will be disqualified.
During qualifications by time trials, any rider has the right to overtake other riders by saying "On your left" or "On your right". In this situation, the rider in front shall let the other overtake by their called path. During the bracket stage, no rider shall ask for permission to overtake.
All racers must wear a properly secured helmet.
Wrist/hand protection must be worn at all times whilst racing.
Racers must be on their board when crossing the finish line.
All racers must sign any waiver required by the race organizer/venue.
Participants must adhere to the EOL Code of Conduct.
Participants are chiefly responsible for their well-being and safety.
Failure to comply with any of these rules may result in disqualification, suspension or ban from EOL events.
Code of Conduct
Event participants agree to abide by the following:
Display high standards of behavior that promote a positive image for our sport.
Strive to maintain a sense of self-control and dignity at all times.
Encourage others to participate and learn.
Take responsibility for my own ability and make educated choices about when, where, and how to participate. Obtain the proper training and continue to improve skills where needed.
Compete fairly and with respect for fellow athletes, officials, venues and equipment. Honor event rules and participate in the spirit of the competition. Be gracious in victory and defeat.
Cooperate with medical professionals and respect their assessment of my ability to continue competing or training.
Refrain from violence, offensive language and insults, harassment, and public criticism of fellow athletes, officials or volunteers (especially when addressing the media), and discourage others from the same.
In the event of a conflict, defuse the situation if it is appropriate to do so, and/or notify an organizer to help achieve a peaceful resolution.
Public drones must be flown at least 5 meters above the ground and must follow all local drone laws. Anyone who violates these rules may be removed from the event.
Event approved drone pilots may fly below 5 meters if they have permission from the event organizer. Additional rules can be discussed and agreed upon between the organizer and the pilot.
Event organizers agree to abide by the following:
Treat all riders, vendors, volunteers and spectators fairly within the context of their activity, regardless of gender, place of origin, color, sex, religion, political belief or economic status. In competitions, I will retain judges and announcers who exhibit these same qualities and who bring appropriate knowledge/expertise to the judges’ panel.
Make sure equipment and facilities are safe and match the athlete’s ages and abilities. In the case of minors, communicate and cooperate with the athlete’s parents or legal guardians, involving them in management decisions pertaining to their child’s participation.
Invest in participants’ safety by retaining an appropriate contingent of first responders and/or medical professionals in case of a crash or injury. If an incident occurs, I will ensure that the participant does not continue competing or training until they’ve been assessed by medical staff and will defer to the expertise of said staff if they advise the rider should not continue to participate.
Inform attendees about expected standards of behavior to maintain positive relations with host venues and communities, and enforce/reiterate these standards if any issues arise during the event.
