All six BGOS events offer riders the chance to earn points towards a male and female BGOS championship title, each worth $100,000, currently the largest single payout in competitive snowboarding. Earning points is simple. Riders are awarded points based on their final ranking in slopestyle and/or halfpipe at each of the individual BGOS events. A rider’s top six results are then added together to create their final BGOS standing. The male and female rider with the most points will be crowned Global Open Champion at the 2008 US Open at Stratton, Vermont.
