Event Guide

Rental advice, event planning tips, and answers to common questions.

Skate comps might be raw and energetic, but your event setup still needs structure.
Whether it’s a parking lot throwdown or a sponsored park series, having the right tables and chairs can make your event run smoother.


Key Setup Zones

AreaWhat You Need
Registration Table1–2 tables, 2–3 chairs, clipboards
Judges' Table1 long table, elevated if possible
Sponsor Booths1 table each, standing room or stools
First Aid Station1 table, 2 chairs
Chill Zone for SkatersFolding chairs, shady canopy optional


Best Table Options for Skate Events

  • Plastic 6-ft or 8-ft tables: Durable and weather-resistant
  • Folding tables: Easy to move if layout shifts mid-event
  • Compact square tables: For tighter zones like first aid or merch areas

Chair Choices

  • Folding chairs: Lightweight and quick to move between heats
  • Stools: Perfect for judges and MCs who need height
  • Padded chairs: Avoid unless you’re indoors — they get dirty fast

Tips for Setup Success

✅ Use bright-colored tape to define zones on pavement
✅ Anchor everything down — wind and boards don’t mix
✅ Keep skater flow free of obstacles
✅ Provide extras for parents, media, and food vendors


Conclusion
Even in a DIY setting, the right tables and chairs keep your skate competition looking pro. Organize your event like a contest that’s built to grow.
