LIST OF TRICKS with timestamp (CLICK HERE to expand)
Judging
- The three submissions that fit the most tricks in a 2 minute routine win.
- First, Second and Third place will be awarded based on the criteria above.
- You can get extra points for making your submission cool to watch. Make it flashy!
Trick execution
- Have fun! This contest’s main purpose is to make something fun.
- This is an old school trick contest, so you must use a responsive yoyo for your submission. This means the yoyo needs to be able to come back to you with a tug of your hand. No unresponsive or binds allowed.
- You must call out the name of the trick you’re doing as you do it. You can also put text in your video with the name of each trick and its creator (if available) if you prefer.
- Any trick you perform must be recognizable as the one in the source video.
- We will consider a trick “landed” for every trick done and finished with the yoyo returned back in your hand.
- We don’t ask for high level trick performance, but please try your best at landing every trick.
- For the specific tricks you can do, please click or tap the LIST OF TRICKS directly under the video above ↑ ↑ ↑
- For repeater tricks, 3 repetitions minimum would be ideal. However, personally I wouldn’t discard the trick if you only did 2 repetitions, as long as it shows you can do the trick properly.
Video submission
- Your video submission must contain 2 minutes maximum of tricks. It can be shorter if you want.
- The trick part of your video submission must be one take. No clips edited together for the routine.
- Players must wear a dark colored shirt and string must be visible. Try your best at having good lighting too. A dark background is optional but we will appreciate it. Help us (and everyone) see your tricks better!
- Your video submission must be in shot in landscape mode. NO VERTICAL VIDEO.
- Your video can have music if you want to. If it does, make sure everything is PG-13.
- For consistency purposes, please upload your video to Youtube and submit the link to the video in this thread. You can make the link unlisted if you please.
