State Championships

Division One: Ages 10 and under

Division Two: Ages 11-16

Division Three: Ages 17 & up

Competitors in each division will need to execute both the 1S and 2S trick ladders. Only one attempt is allowed on each trick. As each trick is made, the competitor continues down the list and attempts the next trick. If one trick is missed, the competitor continues down the list. When a second trick is missed, the competitor is finished for that trick ladder. The competitor's score will be the number of combined tricks made from both trick ladders. The winner will be the player with the highest combined total from both the 1S and 2S ladders.

State Championships Trick Ladder

There will be one open division only. Contestants will perform tricks from the trick ladder. Contestants will have only one chance to make a trick. If they miss a trick, they will continue on to the next trick. When they miss a second trick they may continue,on the third miss they are done. The competitor's score will be the number of tricks made.

Advanced Freestyle Competition

Each competitor will execute a one (1) minute routine of as many different tricks as they can complete. They will be judged on the difficulty and accuracy of the tricks.

The top six competitors from the one-minute routines will advance to the finals and become the judges for their fellow finalists. These six finalists will then perform a three (3) minute routine. The three minute routine will be executed with music supplied by the contestant. Points will be awarded by the judges for a) technical execution and b) performance style and yo-yo artistry. Technical execution points will be awarded for: advance level tricks completed, trick difficulty, originality, and transitions between tricks. Performance style and yo-yo artistry points will be awarded for elegance of yo-yo control, speed control, stage presence and choreography.

Specific rules for executing tricks:

1. The yo-yo must be caught with one hand and not trapped against the body.

2. If more than five inches of string remains outside the yo-yo when caught, it is considered a miss.

3. Any throw made while in the trick box counts as a try 4. Only the following tricks may be done while the contestant is on deck (on stage but outside trick circle):Throw-down, spinner, forward pass, a single Loop the Loop, or string adjustments. Practicing a contest trick outside the circle or box once the contest starts shall count as a miss.

5. Loop the Loop must be done with feet in the trick box.
