Sport Ladder Rules

Sport Ladder General Rules

General Rules
1. The yo-yo must be caught with one hand and not trapped against the body.
2. If more than five inches of string remains outside the yo-yo when caught, it is considered a miss.
3. Any throw made while in the trick circle (or box) counts as a try.
4. Only the following tricks may be done while the contestant is on deck (on stage but outside the trick ring): throw down, spinner, forward pass, a single loop-the-loop, or string adjustments. Practicing a contest trick outside the circle or box once the contest starts shall count as a miss.
5. Loop-the-loops must be done with feet fixed in one position within the trick circle or box.
6. The judge's decision is final and not subject to appeal.
