So I think fixed axle would be like a subcategory of 1a I suppose it wouldn’t be against the rules to use a responsive yo-yo in 1A, although some descriptions I’ve seen specifically mention 1A as using “one unresponsive yo-yo”, but I can’t imagine anyone doing it except as a joke maybe. They usually just call fixed-axle tournaments fixed-axle tournaments. Technically it could be a subcategory of 1A. The categories are generally defined pretty vaguely. Like I’ve learned apparently it would be legal to use two yo-yos in 5A. ---

1A was coined when yoyos were still responsive ---

Like I’ve learned apparently it would be legal to use two yo-yos in 5A. It’s legal to use 2 yoyos in 4a, and it has been done, most notably by rei iwakura. He did it at contests before. It can be done with 5a but it’s just too difficult I haven’t seen anyone actually do it. And responsive yoyos can be used at contests in 1a. ---

It can be done with 5a but it’s just too difficult I haven’t seen anyone actually do it. And responsive yoyos can be used at contests in 1a. I know/agree with all this. If someone uses a responsive yo-yo in a contest it’s probably going to have a bearing and be “bind optional.” We were talking about fixed axle yo-yos specifically, which yes, I suppose could be used in 1A, though nobody would do so except as a joke. ---

> [@Yoyo](#): > > Go tell that to Ed Haponik (sorry if mispelled). I know some people are into fixed axle yo-yos. I’m just saying if these people enter 1A tournaments they cannot seriously expect to do well. Surely we can agree upon that? ---

> [@Shai\_Hulud](#): > > The oldest yo-yos are from China. Also, any ancient Greek yo-yo would have been fixed axle and therefore not 1A. I thought it was the diablo that came from China, and what we consider a yoyo first coming out of Greece? Not doubting or arguing, just genuinely into history type stuff. Do you have any links you could point me to? Thanks 🙂 ---
