Teams can bring as many team riders as they want
Only three skaters from each Team are permitted to skate each Jam
At least one Pro must skate each obstacle
Top two scores for each Team are averaged to get the Team's final score
At least one Pro's score must be used in the final result, even if it is the lowest of the three scores
Overall Team results are calculated by adding each Team's individual obstacle place
If only one skater from a Team skates, the second score will be a zero, which will likely put the Team in last place. For best results, have at least two skaters on each obstacle, with at least one being pro

2006 Vans Downtown Showdown Recap And Reults:
The 2nd Vans Downtown Showdown was held on the Paramount Studios back lot
Sunday with the world's top street skaters attacking custom-built obstacles
nestled against a New York City backdrop. The Girl board crew claimed team
honors and $30,000 while Real's Nick Dompierre won $5,000 as top am and
Girl's Rick McCrank was named the top pro of the Showdown and pocketed
$10,000.
The Vans Downtown Showdown featured many skaters who rarely take part in
contests from Baker, Birdhouse, Element, Enjoi, Foundation, Girl, Real and
Toy Machine and with the $85,000 purse, there was more than just board
company honor on the line.
Each skateboard team submitted designs for a custom obstacle with the top
four chosen and built to that team's specifications. Skateboard teams then
chose three riders, consisting of at least one pro and one am, to jam on
each of the four features.
Here's a break down of the best performances of the day:
