Congratulations! Now, can someone explain to the new guy what these "patches" are all about?
That is a great question. Perhaps it deserves a sticky topic.
Spintastics makes some great tops. They have created award programs for yo-yos & tops. Go to your local testing center or send in a video of yourself doing the required tricks and get a cool patch to sew onto your top bag.
The web site also has videos of each trick so you know what is expected.
Oh, and you need to use Spintastics tops (but you should have some anyway IMHO)

See

Then some expert spinners have created some additional patches for doing various trick sequences. Google
site:ta0.com patch for more info.
Most of the stuff is
way beyond my level inspiring. A few of the sequences I worked on and have mastered one or two.
