The Following tricks must be performed with a fixed axle yo-yo. No transaxle yo-yos will be permitted in this division. Each trick is worth 5 points for a successful first attempt. Second attempt is worth 2 points for a completed trick. If more than five inches of string remains outside the yo-yo when caught, it is considered a miss. All tricks must be performed with the same yo-yo. Any throw made while standing in the Box (i.e. the trick circle) counts as an attempt. Only the following may be done while the contestant is On Deck (on stage but outside the Box): Throw-down, Spinner, Forward Pass, a single Loop the Loop, or string adjustments (excluding Sleeping Beauty during the attempt of that trick). Anything else (including practicing a contest trick outside the Box) once the contest starts shall be counted as a missed attempt. No rigging of yo-yos or string is allowed.

Throw yo-yo to either side causing the yo-yo to start corkscrewing and either tightening or loosening the string. Pick up string with freehand and raise the yo-yo so it is at or near the level of your throw-hand. Now drop the string off your freehand and let the yo-yo return to your hand.

Throw a Sleeper and then perform a front mount. Now let your throw-hand index finger come up around the yo-yo and push the string segments half way between the yo-yo and the freehand index finger causing the yo-yo to rotate around your freehand completing two somersaults. Perform a looping dismount and catch the yo-yo.

Throw a forward pass, when the yo-yo reaches the end of the string allow it to sleep and continue to swing the yo-yo around in a circle so the yo-yo does two full revolutions next to you, sleeping the whole time at the end of the string. When it gets back in front of you give a small tug and it will come back to your hand.

Throw a trapeze. Stick your thumb in the loop and make a triangle. Lift your right hand up. Grap the middle string coming up from the yo-yo with the remaining fingers of your left hand (non-yo-yo hand). Now grab the middle string with your right hand (yo-yo hand) to form another triangle. Lift up the right hand (yo-yo hand) so it is level horizontally with the left hand (non-yo-yo hand). Let go of the string that forms the "big triangle." It should fall and land on the "small triangle." Lift your right hand up, tilting up the string formation. Complete 2 rocks. Return to hand.

Throw yo-yo down with a Gravity Pull motion. As the yo-yo comes back up the string let it hop over the palm of your throw-hand sending it back down with a roll of your wrist. At this point you have completed one rep of Hop the Fence. Complete nine additional reps and catch the yo-yo.

Start with a forward pass throw but don't catch the yo-yo as it returns. Instead, guide the yo-yo back out with a flick of your wrist on the inside of your arm. At this point you have completed one rep. Perform additional reps and catch the yo-yo.

Start with an upward forward pass type throw and as the yo-yo returns towards your throw-hand let the yo-yo loop under your wrist and shoot straight upward. As the yo-yo comes back down throw the yo-yo outward with a looping action along the same path as the original upward forward pass throw. At this point you have completed one rep of Reach for the Moon. Complete additional reps and catch the yo-yo.

Throw a Breakaway and catch the yo-yo on the string over your index finger of your freehand and let the yo-yo spin on the string. Perform with forward and reverse somersaults. Perform any dismount and catch the yo-yo.

Throw a Breakaway and let the yo-yo string wrap your freehand index finger, and then wrap over your throw-hand index finger and continue over your freehand index finger a second time then third time. As the yo-yo comes over your index finger catch the yo-yo on the string segment furthest from your body. Perform any dismount and catch the yo-yo.

Throw an Around the World and as the yo-yo tries to return to your hand don't catch it. Instead, using a Punching Bag motion, regenerate into a retro Around the World and catch the yo-yo after a full rotation back to a Sleeper.

Throw a split-bottom mount and perform a pass under the yo-yo with your freehand index finger, then push forward into the double string segments with your freehand index finger followed by a pass under the yo-yo with your throw-hand index finger. Now push back on the string segments and perform 1somersault. Perform a looping dismount and catch the yo-yo.
