DIVISIONS + RULES

1A FREESTYLE AND X FREESTYLE

The Freestyle Divisions are made up of two divisions: 1A Freestyle and X Freestyle.

1A Freestyle Division: Freestyle performances with one long-spinning string trick yo-yo. This division will have a prelim and final round with the top 10 scores advancing to the final.

X Freestyle Division: One division combined with all other styles of play: 2A, 3A, 4A, and 5A. This division is a one-round final.

  • 2A: Freestyle performances involve two looping yo-yos.

  • 3A: Freestyle performances involve two long-spinning string trick yo-yos.

  • 4A: Freestyle performances with one or more yo-yos where the string is not attached to the yo-yo(s).

  • 5A: Freestyle performances with one or more yo-yos where the string is attached to a counterweight instead of the competitor’s finger.

SPORT FREESTYLE

The Sport Freestyle division features a one-round final with any style allowed (e.g., 1A, 2A, 3A, 4A, and 5A). The 1-minute performances are all subjectively judged.
