Wanted to put a spotlight on this as this is a GREAT first place to compete for anyone who is looking to do their freestyle as they have both an amateur and Pro category put on by SCALES! @ColinBecko will be chiming in with a Q&A THIS Saturday to answer any questions you might have about it, SCALES, or general contest whatever questions!
The concept of Scales Open Online is to provide a unique contest experience by giving players of all skill levels around the world the chance to compete at their best potential for a low price with high prize stakes. Players will be filming their freestyle, which means that they will be able to perform it as clean as they wish. On top of this, all competitors will be receiving feedback from the Scales group for their freestyles!
There are two divisions planned for this event - AMATEUR & PRO. Amateur is a 1 minute freestyle for players who are new to competing and are looking for an opportunity to step into the contest scene in a friendly way. Pro division consists of a 1 minute preliminary round and a 2 minute final for players looking to stack up against the best of the best and compete in a contest that is more similar to pro divisions in real life.
Rules for the Scales Open are available here. Registration is available through us here at YoYoExpert and you can sign up for our event here!
There is also a SCALES T-Shirt you can snag during registration!
If you do not feel comfortable as a competitor (i.e. never competed, only done Sports 1A, etc) and feel as though amateur is better, feel free to do that. This is the first time we have ran Amateur and we mainly just wanted it to be fair for the ‘real’ amateurs, and not let someone amazing destroy everyone.
everyone! Super excited to be hosting this event, and also am forever grateful to YYE for allowing us to collaborate with them on this too.
