Since this is an online contest this has to be judged differently than a Live on stage performance.
Here are some of my thoughts(conisdering if we were to use the new IYYF rules).
Cleanliness is pretty much useless since you can just film until you get a clean freestyle, this will be kept in mind though and graded in the control category below.
Space use is also kinda weird if you are not on a stage.
Here is my idea for a judging system slightly based of the official IYYF rules but a lot more simplified.
10%Variety: variety of concepts used, different kind of tricks 10%Rareness: originality,newness and creativity 10%Music use: Going to the rhythm of the beat, choreography to music, music cues 10%Control: This is a combination of the execution and body control grading systems from the IYYF rules, this is how good control you have over the yoyo and how smoothly you execute your tricks 60% Tech: plus and minus clicks most people know how this works. Positive clicks for string hits and other trick elements, harder elements can give multiple clicks, negatives for misses and loss of control. Repeated elements will score less clicks or not at all if repeated too frequently. Major Deducts: -1 restart, -3 discard(probably wont need them though since you get unlimited tries filming)
Please tell what you think about this(or recommend a whole other system) and give ideas what we can do to make it better, especially Zorro since itās his contest :P.
3-4 Weeks probably. I want to keep it open for a long time because I am still getting a lot of people signing up. Usually, I got about 3 to 4 per day, so as long as that sticks, I am keeping it open. I actually got two people last night at around midnight.
