(context: i just jumped back to yoyoing and already relearned a few advanced tricks, and a few days ago my country national yoyo federation announced there will be a national comp, and i’m determined to win.)
I know that each elements=clicks, what i don’t understand is how does those clicks translates to scoreboard, what decides that it will be what it is, for example gentry’s 2014 winning routine got him 53.8 points on the scoreboard, meanwhile my country’s 2023 national winner got a 59.8, and Mir Kim got a perfect 60, how does it calculated?
I’m asking this because i’m going to be making my routine based on how many clicks it would get, and i need to know how much i would need

clicks are what we call normalized in the math world after all the performances are done, so the raw clicker values aren’t easy to obtain without asking judges
for example if we take three yoyoers, A, B and C, and just one judge
yoyoer A clicks +100 -10, so 90 total
yoyoer B clicks +80 -5, so 75 total
yoyoer C clicks +30 -20, so 10 total
now, obviously there’s only 60 points available for technical execution, so we normalize them:
clicker_score * 60 / highest_clicked_score
If we apply this to all the yoyoers:
yoyoer A is 90 * 60 / 90 = 60 points
yoyoer B is 75 * 60 / 90 = 50 points
yoyoer C is 10 * 60 / 90 = 6.66 points
If we had multiple judges, then you would average all the judges values at the end, so say you also clicked yoyoers A B and C and got:
i’ve watched the series multiple time, a few years ago i also planned to compete, i got the routine and choreography ready, then i went to a dorm high school in the neighboring city, so i never had the chance to compete
i’m thinking of making a blog thread on what trick i learned that day, got into the process of making a routine, and feedback from people here, it’s gonna be a forever edited blog, atleast until the competition ended, you got any idea how should i aproach this?
