If you need more than 2 you should probably just take the L

If you have your tricks ‘wired’ and you have a calm and confident attitude and you are not going up on stage right after Gentry; 1 backup.
If you have not practiced much and your tricks are sad and you are shaking like a leaf and not one person in the crowd will cheer you on and you have to go up on stage Right after Gentry and they lost your music and you just finished 3 Red Bull’s and 4 Monster drinks and didn’t make a Pit stop before you go on stage; then better take 21 back up yoyos.
21 is a Lucky number… hope this helps🙀

Most of my friends are better competitors than I am, so I usually fake an arm injury and use one of them as a back up contestant. I don’t know how many yoyos they use, I think maybe 3.

Depends on how long your freestyle is. For a one minute sport, I would say 1 spare, maybe 2. You do lose time switching yoyos, so, it may be wise to practice switching out and getting back on track. Alternatively, if you get an axle knot that makes your yoyo responsive, you may just want to ride it out and do some responsive tricks.

By Jove he’s right! If the throw is say holstered on your shoulder than you wouldn’t have to run to the front Of the stage to grab your spare. Because that’s what everyone does is line up there spares At the foot of the stage. We might be On to something here. You could carry two spares on your shoulders and you could use a cw because it doesn’t count for 5a if you only do 1a tricks I do believe. I could be wrong though. But I don’t think so…

Also… I believe All the people in the audience should bring a case of backup yoyos.
Just in case the contestants suck bad and the crowd runs outta tomatoes.
