It is an international competition officially authorized by the Portuguese Skating Federation and approved by World Skate International. However, it is not regulated by any federation, it is a competition with independent federation tests.

The main objective of organizing this competition is to develop and stimulate freestyle inline skating in Portugal, among athletes and among clubs.
