Championship Division Freestyle Format
All finalists will be on stage arranged by compulsory score lowest to highest. Each player will throw, in rotation, a freestyle lasting one minute maximum. There will be three throws total by each player. The first rotation will be with a fixed tip top. The second rotation will be with a bearing tip top. The third rotation will be players choice. During a players turn all other players may cheer for that player but may not be a distraction and may not throw. They should have their top wound and ready for their turn. A dropped top can be brought back into play if still spinning.
Freestyle Judging
Points are given for each completed trick (the first time it is done) with bonus points for difficulty and originality. Points for each different regeneration trick are given for the first five reps. Tricks done after five regenerations (with fixed point) should automatically get a difficulty bonus. There will be bonus points awarded for continuos play. If a top is dropped and still spinning and returned to play with the string or a big scoop the freestyle continues but the continuous play clock stops. Bonus points for continuous play are as follows: 30 seconds of continuous play receives 5 bonus points, 40 seconds gets another 5 points, 50 seconds another 5 points and 60 seconds receives an additional 10 points. In other words, continuous tricking for the full minute garners 25 additional points. There will be a separate timekeeper counting these time points. There are no deducts. Dropping the top creates its own penalty.
