Rules:

1. All tricks performed on first attempt receive 5 points. A successful second attempt, if necessary, receives 3 points.
2. The yo-yo must be caught with one hand and not trapped against the body.
3. If more than five inches of string remains outside the yo-yo when caught, it is considered a miss.
4. All yo-yos must be able to at all times sleep a minimum of 3 seconds, the judge may request to test any yo-yo at any time.
5. Any throw made while in the trick circle (or Box) counts as a try.
6. Only the following tricks may be done while the contestant is on deck (on stage but outside the trick ring): Throwdown, 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.
7. While outside the trick box, yo-yo string can be adjusted manually, or replaced.
8. If the contestents feet leaves the trick box during a trick, a miss is considered to have taken palce at that moment.
9. Any yo-yo may be used for this division. The same yo-yo must be used for all tricks.
10. The judge(s) decision is final and not subject to appeal.
