What Is the Imaginary Sports, Skate-Leading?

The imaginary sports, Skate-Leading is, to put it simply, “a type of competitive figure skating, evaluated by art section”!
One team is formed with five skaters.
They all perform with music on ice and compete over the sums of technical and art scores.
There are three positions in Skate-Leading and more than one member in each position have to play their roles.
  • Lead
    • contributing getting scores by performing big technique such as jump combination
  • Wing
    • performing flying in the air by twist lift
  • Guard
    • supporting performances of lift or step
The evaluation is conducted by the automatic measuring system with a camera and nine judges.
This is a rough explanation about how they score but I guess it requires teamwork, huh? That’s why all the characters conflict and encourage with each other, I guess!
