Finals Qualifying Rules
There will a 1-minute preliminary freestyle to qualify the top players into the freestyle finals. The top qualifying players in each division will be advanced to the 3-minute Freestyle Final. Each competitor will have 1-minute on stage to perform a freestyle in the style of play in the division they have entered. Players may enter more than one division.
The number of Final Freestyles for each division are as follows:
1A Division: 8 finalists
Y Division: 8 finalists
Players who will be competing in the preliminary freestyle of any championship division must be prepared with an appropriate music CD if they wish to use their own music. This CD must meet all of the requirements just as shown in the Performance/Freestyle Rules
There will be no required elements for the preliminary freestyles. Scoring will be based entirely on the technical execution of the tricks performed by the player. Judging criteria for the preliminary freestyles will be the same as the technical execution portion of the finals freestyles.
Note: There is no performance points/score in the qualifying segment of the competition.
Performance/Freestyle Rules
The timer starts when the music starts. No points will be scored for tricks done before the music starts, or after the 1-minute mark for preliminaries or 3-minute mark for the finals.
All actions of a performer must take into account the safety of the audience, the facility, the judges, and the player. Judges have the ability at any time to disqualify a performer for behavior they deem dangerous or inappropriate. While performing, only the contestant can be on the stage. Contestants can only use articles that they brought on stage. Contestants cannot use any yo-yos passed to the stage by others.
Music matters (applies to BOTH qualifying and final rounds):
- If players want to use their own music, they must be prepared with an appropriate music CD prior to the qualifiers. Otherwise, the song will be randomly selected.
- It is the player’s responsibility to ensure that the music they bring to the contest is compatible with the equipment provided. Thus, media containing music is only limited to CD or CD-R to be safe. (Music burned to CD-R must be in standard audio format)
- Be sure to keep your music media safe as it is your responsibility to do so. Prevent the occurrence of “tragedies” such as:
- Scratches on media
- Loss of media
- The media containing the music, or the media casing, must be labeled clearly:
- Contestant’s name
- Division being joined for that particular song
- Track of song to be used
- Music must be in one track. Music extended over 2 tracks or over 2 media is not acceptable.
- Music less than the allotted time will be stopped after 1 track played.
- If the music is stopped accidentally, the contestant may choose to continue his or her performance from the point that the music stopped or restart their performance at the end of the division.
- Music must be appropriate for all audiences (e.g. no obscenities, no offensive content, etc)
- Remember: If you are unsure about your music, a judge will be available to listen to your music and make sure it is appropriate.
