Notice how Cuper stopped his routine at 2:20. He was ready to finish but he looked at me and I urged him to continue. He did not have time to prepare a routine and was planning to just attend the event and meet everybody but I convinced him to compete.

Thank you yoyovideoarchive!  The vids look great.  It means a lot to have them for all of us.......except maybe Eli.  Wow, does he look angry at the beginning of his video.  He looks like he is going to chew Mark's head off for making him have to freestyle!!!

Wonderful!

Perhaps we are penalizing too much for drops. The reason we added the negative point was that some players were getting very good at picking up dropped tops while still spinning and we wanted to reward those who did not drop. But risky moves give a routine excitement and we don't want people to make it too safe either.  :-\

In the case of winding the top, we used to not have negative points because the time lost winding was a penalty in itself, but players kept doing it and it was bad for the public, so we penalized it explicitly to motivate players to have extra tops.

I'll later embed the individual freestyles and comment on them.

The no filming signs were for yoyo finals. It was to make sure any video posted was a) linking back to the proper people since one or two go viral from worlds every year, b) to make sure it was high quality video and c) probably most importantly so that all sponsor logos are properly displayed on each video, as per the one of the benefits of sponsoring the contest.

maybe penalize only if the player after the drop, fails to pick the top back up first try and drops it again?
and then have a bonus point for if a player never drops the top at all???

and thank you yoyoarchive.............i dont know who you are but i love you  :'(

Since I did not need to upload the full videos.....as it was already done by yoyoarchive......I decided to put together a fun highlight video.

Check it out, and enjoy!





Thanks
