Nah lol the point I was making is that using 2 yoyos is technically still 5a bc 5a is a contest division. Like how solo ham is still 4a. Here’s the definition of 5a as per the world yoyo contest 2024 rules summary. ![IMG_3427](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/0/f/b/0fb3b4cb9fce6fd0b2d004886a198b6e8fe830a6.jpeg) Sorry if I’m being rigid, i just think using other names like 8a or 13a makes it seem like an alt style and it’s not. I just wanna see more ppl trying it and how it is perceived matters for that. ---
