My name should be on 1a Zorro…

Also, 5a prelims are 30 seconds… Ok 🙂

And for 1a, how many people make it to finals? Whats the amount of people in finals.

I think the amount of people in finals should be dictated by how many people register for 1a.

I guess I’ll reupload mine. I think it would be a better idea to upload to our own accounts though so no more videos get deleted, when anyone can have access to an account things like that are bound to happen. :-\

NOT IT!!!

Whoever is deleting videos, please stop. I am the only one who can do that. I deleted cbeckford’s because he used the wrong file and I couldn’t edit it nor see it, so he needed to do it again. Chase Baxter’s was perfectly fine. Just re-upload it.

attached is a judging sheet I made for the contest, put the name of the player in instead of a number, enter the positive clicks, negative clicks and the performance scoring(1-10).

After the input the sheet will automatically find the total tech score, normalized tech and the total score.

Please help explain this sheet. There are numbers, not players, and what is the Total Tech Normalized column supposed to equal?

You are right. I need some desperately. Anybody? I’d love to, but I’m competing.

Numbers are supposed to be just replaced with a players name, just felt easier to have something there when I was writing up the sheet.  
The Total Tech Normalized column is the tech score normalized so the highest tech in the contest always equals 60points,

 ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/7/f/b/7fbffc083abccd39c3a5da24d85b5bb13d1d75e0.jpeg)  
This is an example, Janos has the highest tech score(258) so that will reward him 60total points for tech and all of the other scores are determined based on 258 being equal to 60.

Hiroyuki has 249 points. 249(hiroyuki’s score)/258(Janos score)=0.9651…

60(max tech)\*0.9651…= 57.91

This means that Hiroyuki will get 57.91 points for tech.

After that the performance points are just added onto the tech score for the total. 🙂
