2006 World Yo-Yo 3A division (3A) Sleeping tricks with two yo-yos where one attached to each hand.
Read trick descriptions carefully. All tricks are to be performed as described in the text and accompanying video (if available). Significant loss of control of the yo-yo will not be allowed. This round allows one attempt of each trick for five points, a second attempt (if necessary) for three points. Your compulsory score is the total of the points scored on the ten tricks. Top scoring players advance to the final freestyle.

Please note: Bind returns are allowed for all tricks but not required.

All tricks should be performed exactly as shown in the trick videos. The trick descriptions are provided for your assistance in following the videos and to specify the minimum number of reps required.

At each trick station all tricks must be performed using the same set of yo-yos. You may change yo-yos between each trick station. Stations will be announced on the day of the event.

Top contestants from compulsories go to the freestyle finals. Please see freestyle rules for the number of contestants that progress to freestyles and for freestyle rules.

Pull the blue string out (the red string will already be wrapped around it). You want to pull it out about 4 inches short of the half-way mark. Pick up the string of yo-yo #1 with Throwhand #1, palm up. At this time, the string running over palm should be between thumb and index finger. Put thumb under the string between the crossing point of strings #1 and #2, and the middle finger, and pull and spread. Do simultaneous Bucket Mounts onto the inner string segments. To get out, flip the yo-yos out, remove thumbs, untwist the strings and catch the yo-yos.

6. Kinkfu: [MPG] [MP4]
Rules:
Throw yo-yo #1 into a sideways sleeper. Now throw a breakaway with yo-yo #2 behind (or in front) and past the string of yo-yo #1. Catch the string of yo-yo #2 with Throwhand #1 as it goes past the string of yo-yo #1 and let yo-yo #2 swing back in front of the string of yo-yo #1. Then catch yo-yo #2 with Throwhand #2. The strings of the yo-yos will now be crossed.

Now perform a sideways split bottom type mount with yo-yo #1 over the index finger of Throwhand #1. Next perform a Trapeze type mount (In *1, if it is a Trapeze type mount, you perform a sideways split bottom type mount) with yo-yo #2 over the index finger of Throwhand #2. Note that you can do the Trapeze mount first and then the sideways split bottom mount if you wish. .

Now perform a side ways roll and cross the arm of Throwhand #2 over the arm of Throwhand #1 reverse the roll back to the original hold. Now perform another side ways roll and cross the arm of Throwhand #1 over the arm of Throwhand #2 reverse the roll back to the original hold. Note that you may reverse the order or the rolls if you so desire. .

Dismount yo-yo #2 from the Trapeze without dropping any string segments and drop (or dismount), yo-yo #1 from its hold to a sleeper. Now swing and drop yo-yo #2 in front of the string of yo-yo #1 so that it will untwist the yo-yos strings and catch the yo-yos.

Judging Guidelines
7. Blue Line Rolls: [MPG] [MP4]
Rules:
Throw sleepers with yo-yos #1 and #2. Cross Throwhand #1 over Throwhand #2 and perform a split bottom mount with yo-yo#1 over the top of Throwhand #2. (Note that you may also start the trick by throwing cross-handed sleepers as shown at the following Glasslab link: http://www.theglasslab.com/AAA/what/h.kink/bluelines.html)

Now pull the string of yo-yo#1 off of Throwhand #2 so the split bottom mount is now being held on the string of yo-yo#2. (If you wish, you may grab all three string segments of the split bottom mount with Throwhand #1 and squeeze them into the groove of yo-yo#1. This will stabilize yo-yo#1 and prevent it from gyro flopping while the next mount is performed.) Now with yo-yo #2 perform a split bottom mount using the string of yo-yo #1 and the index finger of Throwhand #2. Now start 3 rolls with Throwhand #2 going up and Throwhand #1 going down. After 3 or more reps reverse the rotation of the rolls and dismount the yo-yos of the strings and down into sleepers and catch the yo-yos.
