Championship Trick List
These tricks are the 'Trick List 2002' that we developed for use in the major contests this year. This is the same list that was utilized at the World Yo-Yo Contest in Orlando, August 2002. In following years, we will develop a yearly list that will be the standard for that year in all League, National, and World contests.
Next years list will be presented in March 2003 in time to allow the
League of Contests to include it in their promotions. With a yearly list
of tricks, players can more easily conform to a consistent judging standard.
Results can be compiled to enhance the quality of future contests. Internet
trick videos will serve as instruction for all the contests. And most
of all, a player will know what to expect when attending a contest.
2A Division
1. Sword and Shield (6 reps)
2. Windshield Wipers (6 reps)
3. Two Hand Arm Wraps

5. Wrist-Crossed Fountain
6. Elbow Wraps
7. Inside/Outside Vertical Punches (12 reps)
8. Behind the Back Cattle Crossing (20 reps)

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 either 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. Compulsory score is the total of the points scored on the ten tricks. Top scoring players advance to the final freestyle.
For videos of these tricks, please refer to the 2002 World Yo-Yo Contest website. -LINK-
Sword and Shield (6 reps) [video]
This trick must start with a side Around the World and ends after at least
six worlds. The loops must start during the first world and at least one
loop must pass through the trajectory of each world. If one or more additional
worlds are thrown, at least one loop must pass through the trajectory
of each world. Note, video shows only 5 repetitions.
Windshield Wipers (6 reps) [video]
Simultaneously - starting from either the right or left side - a breakaway
is thrown with one hand while a reverse breakaway is thrown with the other
hand. When the yo-yos get to the other side they are simultaneously regenerated
into another breakaway (or reverse breakaway.) This cycle constitutes
one rep. Continue to regenerate these simultaneous breakaways ten more
times to complete the six reps. Slight breaks in the simultaneous timing
of the breakaways will be acceptable.
Two Hand Arm Wraps [video]
Start with three or more reps of two hand loops. Then transition one yo-yo
into Around the World and wrap around the looping arm on the second world
and unwrap between loops back into two hand loops and perform at least
three reps of two hand loops. Then transition the other yo-yo into worlds
and wrap around the looping arm on the second world. Then unwrap between
loops again back into two hand loops and perform at least three reps of
two hand loops before catching the yo-yos.
Spread Eagle Warp Drive (6 reps) [video]
Each hand must start with a side loop regeneration into an Around the
World followed by five more side loop regenerations into an Around the
World. The Around the World trajectories must cross behind the back, across
the vertical centerline of the player's back, on all six reps. The yo-yos
must be caught after the sixth world with each hand. If a contestant throws
an additional loop with either hand, before the catch, it will be considered
a miss.
Wrist-Crossed Fountain [video]
Start with hands crossed and perform three or more wrist-crossed Hop the
Fences with each hand below 45 degrees from the vertical, followed by
a transition to three or more wrist-crossed Punching Bags with each hand
between 45-135 degrees from the vertical, followed by a transition to
three or more wrist-crossed Vertical Punches. Then punch back down to
three or more wrist-crossed Punching Bags with each hand between 45-135
degrees from the vertical, then punch back down to three or more wrist-crossed
Hop the Fences below 45 degrees from the vertical and catch the yo-yos
while hands are still crossed.
Elbow Wraps [video]
Start with three or more reps of two hand loops, with both hands regenerate
into Around the Worlds, on the second world with each hand wrap both elbows,
and turn 180 degrees while transitioning up into three or more reps of
Vertical Punches.
Inside/Outside Vertical Punches (12 reps) [video]
You must start by throwing the yo-yos directly upward. As the yo-yos come
down perform an Inside Vertical Punch with each hand. Note that you do
not have the option of beginning this trick with a Forward Pass/Reach
for the Moon motion. Therefore, after the initial vertical tosses, the
first Vertical Punch with each hand must be an Inside Vertical Punch and
the second Vertical Punch with each hand must be an Outside Vertical Punch.
In other words, you must start alternating Vertical Punches immediately
and perform at least twelve reps with each hand. Each rep consists of
one Inside Vertical Punch and one Outside Vertical Punch with each hand.
At no time, including during extra reps or during the ending, may you
do two or more consecutive Inside or Outside Vertical Punches with the
same hand. The count will start on the second hand performing the first
Outside Punch. All punches must be no more than 30 degrees from vertical.
Behind the Back Cattle Crossing (20 reps) [video]
The Yo-Yo trajectories must cross on the first throw of each hand and
must stayed crossed for all twenty or more reps. The count starts on the
first throw of the second yo-yo as it crosses the trajectory of the first
yo-yo. The yo-yos must be caught behind the back while the trajectories
are still crossing.
Double Staircase [video]
This trick consists of two complete Staircases, one to the left and one
to the right, performed in order of choice. Trick starts with Milk the
Cow in front or to one side and works it's way up to Vertical Punches
while the player rotates 360 degrees into three or more reps of Vertical
Punches after both feet are planted, then punch down into Milk the Cow
and perform the same trick in the opposite direction ending with three
or more reps of Vertical Punches. In other words, the player starts facing
forward, and ends up facing forward after two complete revolutions, one
in each direction. After both feet are planted, perform three or more
reps of Vertical Punches and catch both yo-yos.
Combined Inside/Outside Reach for the Moons (12 reps) [video]
Starting with the first rep, the yo-yos must alternate from the inside
of each throw-hand on the upward vertical tosses to the outside of each
throw-hand on the downward trajectory. As the yo-yo descends it is thrown
out and upward with an outside loop to complete the first rep. As the
yo-yo returns a second inside upward toss is made as in a standard Reach
for the Moon and again as the yo-yo descends it is thrown out and upward
with an outside loop to complete the second rep. The count will start
on the second hand performing the first outside loop.
National 2A Tie Breakers:
1. Inside/Outside Vertical Punches (20 reps)
2. Behind the Back Cattle Crossing (30 reps)
3. Combined Inside/Outside Reach for the Moons (20 reps)
If two or more tied contestants each miss the same trick, the one completing
the most reps will win or continue in the tie breaking process. Continue
to add 10 additional reps to each of the tricks until the finalist are
determined.
