LiveHeats is excited to be partnering with World Skate to bring LiveHeats technology to World Skate sanctioned national championship competitions, at no cost to the NSO. Our data will feed into the World Skate rankings, powered by Wyldata.
Which events are covered by the World Skate and LiveHeats partnership?
World Skate's licence will allow all member bodies to use LiveHeats on our Pro Am plan for no cost, for all World Skate sanctioned national championships that are approved by World Skate.

Guidelines for your event to be included in the World Skate rankings.
For your event to be included in the World Skate rankings, you'll must follow the below guidelines:
- When creating your event, ensure that the event title is in English, for example "Australian National Skateboarding Championships 2020 - Park". The championship should be created in one "event"

- Open Men
- Open Women
- You should use LiveHeats for athlete registration, so that we have the athlete's DOB and nationality in the system. Alternatively, if you are importing your athletes list, be sure to include the following mandatory fields listed below:
- Name (first and last name)
