National Championship Divisions
Compete in one or more of our championship divisions to have a shot at becoming Australian National Yoyo Champion! For all Championship divisions, we will be following the Official Scoring Rules and Criteria (IYYF).
Seeding for Worlds, EYYC, Asia Pacific or similar will come from the 5 Championship Divisions – no seeding from X Division. International competitors are encouraged to attend and compete. The player will be categorised as competing in the 'Open' version of the Division and not included in the National Championship order or seeding.
If you have any questions please hit us up!

Note on Amateur: This division is an alternative to competing in the main 1A Championship division.

Players use two yoyos simultaneously and perform looping tricks, with the yoyos going up and down in a loop motion.
3A Division
Playing with two yoyos with separate strings simultaneously, performing intricate tricks using both yoyos.
4A Division
The yoyo is not attached to the string. It is performed by throwing and catching the yoyo in the air using a long string.
5A Division
Attaching a counterweight to the end of the string, allows players to perform tricks while the yoyo is not connected to their hand.

Scoring: Technical Execution (TE), 4 x Freestyle Evaluations (FE) and Major Deductions (MD).
Who Competes: Anyone
*Important note on X Division
For the Championship 2A, 3A, 4A & 5A divisions, if there are less than 5 players in each of these championship divisions, registered players will automatically be combined into X division. This will still be a 3 minute Final.
Also if any of the divisions are a Championship Division (5 or more players) AND you want to compete in X Division you cannot include the same discipline in that division (eg if 5A has a championship division and you compete in that - you cannot do 5A in X division too)
The winner of X Division will not be National Champion – just winner of the X Division.
Do I need to be good to compete?
Nope - there's no minimum skill level. Even if you only have a few tricks, performing them as a routine is definitely an experience you don't want to miss out!

What do I need to bring?
For competitors, make sure to bring your yoyo, back-up yoyos, and any extra equipment such as strings, bearings and pads. Bring a sharpie if you want to collect signatures. And of course... bring good energy!
Can I buy yoyos at the event?
Yes! There’ll be booths from brands such as OFFSET, Werrd as well as our local Australian yoyo retailers.
Can I come with my parents/friends?
Absolutely! Spectators are welcome and it’s a family-friendly environment.
What if I just want to watch?
Great! Just come along as a spectator for free and enjoy the vibe.
