Hi there,
I don’t really know how to create a prelim. What I know is, you should do safe tricks and that every string hit is 1 point. And that technique is 60% and movement on the stage and interaction with the audience is 40%.
How else do you earn points? Does a gt for example give more points? Should I do different tricks like horizontal stuff + fast stuff in front of me + playing around my arm or play only in front of me but faster therefore more stringhits? And do hard moves like a gt suicide give only 1 regular point or can the jury decide by themselves how much points they wanna give?
I’m working on a prelim the last few days, maybe you can give me some feedback? I seriously have no clue what it is all about ^^ This is the first attempt, not 100% clean but I don’t think it will be 100% clean on stage.
The abbreviation “tech” stands for “technical”, not “technique.” Two totally different things.
Only do horizontals if you can do at least 5 seconds of it at a good (45 degrees or more) angle. The judges won’t score much more for doing a trick horizontal that’s no easier at vertical.
I’m liking what I see in the video, keep going with the string hits, but you could mix in just a bit of originality.
That’s good enough for starters, I think. But you’re doing well.
Oh that is nice to hear What you mean with “small” and “medium” ? It is the german yoyo masters, not that much contestors. Last year there were about 30 people in 1A and I think 12 got into finals.
That’s a medium contest in the U.S. I don’t really know what the skill level is in Germany. I can’ tell you but if it were an American contest, you might make it, with only 30 people.
