1. Whirlwind Criss Cross - 10 reps
Both hands perform inside/outside loops while crossing. Must start with a criss cross inside loop with each hand and immediately start alternating to inside/outdise loops with each hand. Each inside/outside combo counts as one rep. Perform 10 or more reps and catch the yo-yo's.

2. Orbit the Moons - 3 reps
Start with a forward pass outward toss with each hand and immediately punch each yo-yo into a half revolution of retro-Around the World up into a reach for the Moon. At the end of the outward toss of the Reach for the Moon, punch each yo-yo into another half revolution of retro-Around the World back up into a second Reach for the Moon. Complete three reps and catch the yo-yo's on the outward toss of the fifth Reach for the Moon. Each hand can perform the reps simultaneously or alternating.

3. One Hand Arm Wraps
Start with three or more reps of two hand loops. Transition one yo-yo into Around the World and wrap around the looping arm on the second World and perform one or more "loop wraps" with the wrap hand going under and over the loops, then transition back into two hand loops and perform three or more reps before catching the yo-yo's.

4. Fountain
(3-3-3-3-3) Start with three or more Hop the Fences with each hand below 45 degrees from vertical, followed by a transition to three or more Punching Bags with each hand between 45-135 from the vertical, followed by a transition to three or more Vertical Punches. Then punch back down to three or more Punching Bags with each hand between 45-135 degrees from the vertical, then punch back down to three or more Hop the Fences below 45 degrees from the vertical and catch the yo-yo's.

5. Elbow Wraps
Start with three or more reps of two hand loops. With both hand, regenerate into Around the Worlds, on the second world with each hand, wrap both elbows and turn 180 degree while transitioning immediately up into five or more reps of Vertical Punches.

6. Inside/Outside Vertical Punches - 5 reps
You must start by throwing the yo-yo's directly upward. As the yo-yo's 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 Outside Vertical Punch. In other words, you must start alternating Vertical Punches immediately and perform as least five 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.

7. Staircase
Trick starts with Milk the Cow in front or to one side and works its way up to Vertical Punches while the player rotates 360 egress. After both feet are planted, perform three or more reps of Vertical Punches and catch both yo-yo's.

8. Inside/Outside Reach for the Moon - 5 reps
Starting with the first rep, the yo-yo's 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.

9. Behind the Back Cattle Crossing - 5 reps
The yo-yo trajectories must cross on the first throw of each hand and must stay crossed for all ten 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. Complete five or more reps and catch the yo-yo's behind your back. This trick will be used as the tie-breaker if necessary.

10. Cow Wrap Combo - 1 wrap
Start with Hop the Fence with one hand, then throw a retro Around the World with the other hand. As you complete the retro Around the World, let it wrap over the arm doing Hop the Fence. Complete at lease one Cow Wrap around the Hop the Fences. Your "wrap string" is now in front of the Hop the Fence arm (exactly like when you started the wrap). Pull the yo-yo over the Hop the Fence arm and transition into loops under the Hop the Fence arm. Complete three or more reps of cross-arm loops and Hop the Fence, catch the yo-yo's.
