NYYL Tricklists
These are the Sport Division tricklists to be used by all Regional Contests,
State Contests in the National Yo-Yo League as well as the National Contest.
Age brackets for Sport Contests are typically:
- 10 and under
- 11-12
- 13-16
- 17-29
- 30-44
- 45 and over
These age brackets are used at the National Yo-Yo Contest and the World
Yo-Yo Contest. Age brackets for Regional Contest and State Contests are
up to the discretion of the individual promoters.
The National Yo-Yo League sponsors medals for the top 3 Overall Sport
Division Players for each Regional and top 3 Overall Sport Division Players
for each State Contest. The Overall Sport Division Champion at the State
Contest level is considered to be the State Champion.
Basic Rules:
For the Sport Division ladders, players are allowed one attempt per trick.
The second missed trick reires the player from the ladder. The winner
is the player with the highest combined score between the 1S and 2S ladder.
For scoring, a player receives the point value of the combined number
of the highest trick completed in each ladder. In the event of a tie,
the combined score of the first missed trick from both ladders will be
used. If a tie persists, then the combined score of the second missed
trick from each ladder is used. If a tie still is in place, then the two
(or more) players are awarded the same placement.
