Hey guys! I am currently planning to host my very first online yoyo contest. My plans are to live stream the contest on my twitch channel which you can find here: [Twitch](https://www.twitch.tv/breakawaycotton) This first contest will be a best trick contest! All of the participants will livestream their best trick using the discord app which you can use on your computer or your mobile phone, either will work. Each player will get 5 chances to land their best trick/combo. There will be 2 different Divisions \*Beginner (throwing 1 year or less) \*Advanced (throwing 1 year or more) Join my discord server here: [Discord](https://discord.gg/Jse3x6gX) This is where you will sign up to enter! Once you join the server go to the contest #1 sign up page in the text channel and drop your first and last name I will have a few judges rate each trick from 1-10, and the player with the highest overall score will win. I am still working on all of the details including prizes, but there will be a cash prize plus some yoyos. If you are interested in participating in this contest then please BE SURE TO GO AND FOLLOW MY TWITCH CHANNEL AS WELL AS COMMENTING ON THIS POST TO LET ME KNOW YOU WOULD LIKE TO COMPETE! Also if you would like to help with the organization, promotion, or judging for the contest then should be a dm! Any help would be much appreciated. Have a blessed day everyone. ---

Changed from freestyle to best trick contest. Figured music might be an issue so I’m going to start with a simple best trick contest which I feel like more people may enter. ---

it would be cool if you had different subcategories within the whole event. example- players under 1 year throwing - over 50 etc etc… idk just a thought, could help with involvement and participation ---
