Sport Division General Rules

For the Sport Ladders, one attempt per trick is allowed. One missed trick will be allowed on each ladder, the second miss retires the player from that ladder. The score will be based on the combined highest number of completed tricks on both ladders, with the highest first missed trick breaking ties.

A trick is complete when the string is fully wound around the axle and back in the hand. The yo-yo may return to the throwing hand by utilizing a bind. An unsuccessful bind will be considered a miss. The yo-yo must be caught with one hand, the hand that originally threw the yo-yo, and not trapped against the body. More than five inches of string remaining outside the yo-yo when caught is considered a miss. String misses or significant loss of control of a yo-yo will not be allowed on any tricks.

A trick starts and finishes within the trick box. A player must keep feet planted unless the trick requires movement. If a player's feet leave the trick box during a trick it is considered a miss.

A throw made within the trick box counts as an attempt. Outside the trick box a player may only toss a throw-down, spinner, forward pass, a single loop, a single hop the fence, or string adjustments. Practicing a contest trick outside the trick box during the judging session is considered a miss.

A player may adjust the yo-yo and string. An unintentional broken or knotted string may be replaced. A yo-yo may not be dismantled during the judging session.

Any yo-yo may be used. You may change out a yo-yo only one time on a ladder. A judge has the discretion to allow a replacement yo-yo if the original yo-yo is damaged.

Good sportsmanship is expected. Interfering with another contestant may be cause for disqualification.

An appeal must be discussed with the judge before the end of the judging session. No video challenges will be allowed. A judge's decision is final.
