Hey Liam and Matt,

Been really enjoying the tour the last few years. A couple observations.

The duels qualifying format besides Leanne losing to Hailey all went to the defending champion. Seems like the zones were unfairly familiar to most of the riders minus Trav and Red. Maybe randomize venues to level the playing field?

The judging seems to be favoring Travis heavily the last two years. After rewatching this years finals with Mikkel and Travis there seems to be a serious consensus with the general shred community that Mikkels run was technically more difficult and following the CREDO score Bang should have taken it. At a minimum it should have went to sudden death super finals. Lets see less favoritism and bias next year.

Finally AK is the pinnacle of snowboarding and the Finals should always be in AK. Hopefully in SE AK at some point.

Much respect!
