1A Regular Division:
- Freestyle length: 2 minutes
- Points awarded for successful trick elements, transitions, style, difficulty, stage presence.
- Points deducted for missed tricks, switching yoyos, loss of control, unsuccessful binds, etc.
- Repeated tricks are scored at a lower value or may not be scored at all. Tricks done outside of your time limit are not scored.
- NO DO-OVERS. You are responsible for checking for string wear, string tension, yoyo screwed tight enough, etc.
- Any dangerous or disruptive actions during the entire contest may result in disqualification.
1A Junior Division:
- All 1A Regular Division rules except freestyles are 1 minute.
- Bring backup yoyos and put them on the stage in front of you with the finger loops all ready to go.
- It’s better to do clean, simple tricks rather than complicated tricks but with lots of mistakes.

- Audio CD (write down your name and track # on cd case)
- Should be at least 1 minute long for Junior Division, 2 minutes long for Regular Division
- NO SWEARING (eg. hip hop songs with swearing must be the “clean” or “radio” version).
- If you need your music to start in the middle of the song, please edit your music beforehand so that the track starts when you want it to start.
