Process:
The Malaysia International YoYo Open will consists of TWO DIVISIONS :
1A division and Y division (Mixture of 2A/3A/4A/5A)
Pick a song for your 1 Minute Prelim and 3 Minute Final Freestyle routine.
**Song must be family-friendly, no explicits/profanities.**
Gather the yo-yos best suited for your Division of choice and start practicing hard.
Judging rules:
The scoring criteria will be the current IYYF contest rules.
Final Championship Freestyle Score = sum of points for
Technical Execution (60.00-points maximum) plus
Freestyle Evaluation (40.00-points maximum) minus
Major deductions.
