So most of us in the US have not competed in an in-person yoyo contest in over a year. If I remember correctly right before Covid there were some changes to the nyyl rules. Specifically that all regional contest finals will be 3 minutes now? As contests start back up, it might be good to have a refresher on the rules. Does anyone have a link to the up to date rules and regulations?  
Thanks

I don’t think anything new has been implemented since 2019 so this will still be helpful:  
[http://iyyf.org/wyyc2019-rules/](http://iyyf.org/wyyc2019-rules/)  
Also here is the most recent scoresheet from an in-person contest to give you an idea

How long are the final rounds in regional contests? 2 or 3 min?

The NYYL regionals/qualifiers will be using the same format as 2020 PNWR when the league re-launches. 3 minute finals, 1A and X divisions.
