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 Divisions: Multiple divisions for various styles of play: Dual Hand (2A + 3A), 4A, and 5A. Each division is a one-round final.
Dual Hand (2A + 3A): Freestyle performances involve two looping yo-yos (2A) or two long-spinning string trick yo-yos (3A).
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 divisions feature a one-round final with any style allowed (e.g., 1A, 2A, 3A, 4A, and 5A). The 1-minute performances are all subjectively judged.
