GUYS Get ready tomorrow is the wyyc 2017! Get ready! August 10-12! See you all there! If you are not THERE in iceland, the i will see you at the live video stream!
vichetca Website? I just use youtube to see it! You can see it from the channel yoyo contest central! Where this years BAC and Japan Nationals were held!
I think this kind of an explanation is not only over-due, but unfortunately way too late for a lot of people. If more people had this kind of information, they'd know how to play into the system better. There should be a mandatory 5 point deduction for not uploading their music on time. Sorry, I run sound at CalStates and BAC, and I just wish they'd all get their music in before the deadline. I will say they are getting better at doing so. The new system that the NYYC is doing works really good and saves me a LOT of time.
Studio42dotCom I hear where you’re coming from there. I kind of feel like if you don’t get your music uploaded on time, you shouldn’t really get to compete. If you can’t follow the rules before the competition even starts, why should you get to be in the competition?
GUYS DAY 1 Is finished! What happened today was 1a wildcard and prelims, 4a prelims, and 5a prelims! Also i was not watching but there was also 2a and 3a prelims! HYPED FOR TOMMOROW
Also score normalization, highest score is normalized to 60 (highest possible score) and everyone else is a percentage based on that.. like being graded on a curve.
Hey Brandon! I've been watching your content for a long time and there's a yoyo I'm really interested in buying. It's the Yotricks Ethos and I can't find a review on the yoyo which tells me it's great. Since your reviews are really in depth mentioning everything a yoyo has to offer, is it possible you could review one?
Justin Kyle Acosta, I didn't mean that. The yoyo is probably really amazing and Yotricks have made some great yoyos but I would prefer a review just so I know what I'm expecting from it.
Brandon, could you review the Purple Line? By Magic Yoyo. I heard it's a premium yoyo and slightly better than the N12, but I also heard that the Purple Line is kind if messed up and doesn't sleep longer than 45 seconds. But a comment from someone else will do.
i said the same thing about hiroyuki suzuki's 2011 worlds routine while i was there and somebody told me he's a fashion model where he's from. Looks like plaid pajamas and a triforce from the legend of zelda lol
You're really at the mercy of whomever are the judges that day. IF they score everyone equally I guess it would balance out, but depending what kind of thrower you were one type of judge would be better then another I reckon. (Unless I find a youthinizer machine, no worries about competition for me.)
Donald Pettit this happens in any other art. For example, in Spoken Word contests, the first contestant always gets very few applause and the crowd and judges aren't yet caught by the atmosphere of the event. Arts are subjective and even if yoyo can be taken as a sport, it's really difficult to be objective.
Silly newbie question perhaps but is the tech score then divided by whatever number would make the result 60% of your total score? So theoretically you could have the most insane tech anyone's ever seen but have the score reduced to 6 because you only got ones on the eval?
Bjurman something he didn’t go into, is the fact that at each contest the best tech scored player automatically gets 60, and everybody else’s text score gets compared against that. So comparing tech scores between contests doesn’t really mean anything. You should check out Gentry Stein’s series on competition that’s over on YoYoTricks.com. Brandon‘s video was really good, but Gentry does it over several videos, so he gets a little more in depth with how the whole thing works.
this sounds a lot like the figure skating scoring system. My issue with systems like it is they reward technical elements more than the emotional part. With yoyoing it's very apparent this. I do this it does better than most though. I would love to see a system with around 60-65% "evals" and 35-40% tech. Just my preference.
I could be wrong, but I believe it used to be 70-30, then 50-50, and then changed again for the last time to 60-40 which seems to be the sweet spot. I mean, as much as I like gimmicks in the freestyle, sure it's cool dancing here and there, ultimately I want to see innovation in the actual yoyo tricks, and for that you need to reward the technical aspect more.
I've been wondering about the scoring system for a while lol Thanks for this great explanation. But, I remember watching Ben Conde's freestyle at World's in 2011 where he had an amazing freestyle but dropped a couple. Was he DQ'd? Or were the rules different for major deductions at the time?
7:17 I guess thats what happened in 2015 Worlds huh brandon? 43 in Semifinals? Remember 2 years ago? No hate just saying... I actually loved that preformance!
I hear you, I've been on a binge of all of his performances and some of the people I think are contenders in Worlds. I'm so interested to see how this new rumored trick innovation element will play into players performances. All I can think of is how many Japanese players will suffer under it due to the fact that I just see a lot of performances based around clickfarming. I'd really be excited to see what a world winning Evan Nagao or Paul Kerbul routine would look like!
hmm. i wonder who would ever be bad enough at offstring to have the yoyo hit the roof and fly into the crowd.
kyler thomas hhhhhmmmmmmm........😂
kyler thomas I don't get this reference :(
vichetca Brandon did once
Dang bro, callin'n him out
That wouldn't be good
Finally you put the backround music in the description
wow brandon you need to do a front-style speed combo tutorial. 3:48 is just awesome!
its called the atomic bomb i think. Yotricks has a tutorial
I'm going to THE YOYO COMPETITION!!! Hope to see yo Brandon and you other ppl
what about bind fails and those times where when you throw it it just comes back immediately and stuff
GUYS Get ready tomorrow is the wyyc 2017! Get ready! August 10-12! See you all there! If you are not THERE in iceland, the i will see you at the live video stream!
Where will it be streamed?
Zahir Uddin Iceland in some place called Reykjavik. August 10-12. The name is not made up.
Horizon Yoyoing I think he meant what website
"Some place called Reykjavik"
It's the capital of Iceland, I don't think "some place" really suits it
vichetca Website? I just use youtube to see it! You can see it from the channel yoyo contest central! Where this years BAC and Japan Nationals were held!

Hey can you review a topyo yoyo
Have u looked imto live vids brandon?
Hey can you make a video of the yoyo "terrarrian" ?
Thank you soooo much Brandon, I've been waiting for something like this since forever
Also score normalization, highest score is normalized to 60 (highest possible score) and everyone else is a percentage based on that.. like being graded on a curve.
Joey Flowers Yeah, I thought it odd that he didn’t include that. It’s kind of important.

gOod fun how exactly does someone look like a Yotricks fan?

I have been waiting for this video
Please make an updated version bro @thebrandonvu
Nice
i said the same thing about hiroyuki suzuki's 2011 worlds routine while i was there and somebody told me he's a fashion model where he's from. Looks like plaid pajamas and a triforce from the legend of zelda lol
thanks men
Yuuki transition tutorial plss
But where is your Yoyos? They were supposed to be in the background
12:26
I think he is talking about himself
Were you able to grab the #pound?
Loving the content!

When you said yoyo is off and just lying there next to the stage I immediately thought of ben condes throw that land in his face
can someone finish with negative points?
Jonathan Lee Check out eyyc 2a results. Pac works really hard to get negative score evaluations 😂😂😂❤️
cool!
What you is used in this video?
How much is negated if the finishing bind is missed? Or is that not a deduction anymore?
Didn't they take out trick diversity from the judging system? Or is that different from unique/rareness?
Wait so a 2.0 hook and a normal hook both get one click?
Silly newbie question perhaps but is the tech score then divided by whatever number would make the result 60% of your total score? So theoretically you could have the most insane tech anyone's ever seen but have the score reduced to 6 because you only got ones on the eval?
Bjurman Look at Tyler Viennau. The answer is yes
Thank you!
Bjurman something he didn’t go into, is the fact that at each contest the best tech scored player automatically gets 60, and everybody else’s text score gets compared against that. So comparing tech scores between contests doesn’t really mean anything. You should check out Gentry Stein’s series on competition that’s over on YoYoTricks.com.

Hey What is your main Yoyo That you always use or as your personal one??

I do this it does better than most though. I would love to see a system with around 60-65% "evals" and 35-40% tech. Just my preference.

You're from australia?
How many points overall is normal
Your 4a 2016 ap performance? 12:25
Will you get disqualified if all of your yoyos got into a knot during a freestyle
khong cedric No. You will only get plenty of -3 for the major deduction depending on how many yoyos you have a knot in.
khong cedric only if you switch yoyos, you can keep going if the knot doesn’t bother you
I've been wondering about the scoring system for a while lol Thanks for this great explanation. But, I remember watching Ben Conde's freestyle at World's in 2011 where he had an amazing freestyle but dropped a couple. Was he DQ'd? Or were the rules different for major deductions at the time?
EzRa He may have dropped his yoyos off the stage, but the yoyos never flew over the judge table and into the audience area.
That rule started back in 2013/4
JustAnotherYoYoEr Wrong. Paul Han got disqualified in 2011.
johananium Okay, that makes sense. Thanks
johananium Paul may have gotten disqualified in 2011, but the major deductions rule started after worlds 2012. Or at least, the rule about restarting.
Wait, so if Evals are so important could you actually get a better score from doing the big pp (Eiffel tower) trick?
What is the trick name
12:10 the flash backs...
But what if during your freestyle you got an axle knot but the yoyo can still be used,do u still need to switch?
Pizzatato no you can keep going
Jerry Carboneau You can but the judges won't score any positive clicks. only negative clicks.
You must switch or else you won't get positive clicks.
Would binding in a hat be stage use and emphise
12:08 i think i saw this happened in someone's freestyle 🤔🤔😆😆
my red button score would be really high... like every day... yeah...
Thanks for the breakdown, though.
And what about binds? :D
Nils Creation Clicks may depend on the judge based on difficulty.
7:17 I guess thats what happened in 2015 Worlds huh brandon? 43 in Semifinals? Remember 2 years ago? No hate just saying... I actually loved that preformance!
Hi
I’m watching in 2021
2018?
Hehehe 2021
hello
did he just say that virtual throwdown is gonna happen again???!!! I gotta start preparing my routine then
Where are all your yoyos
i need those for ASMR
Hmmmmm Brandon. Who woulda gotten himself disqualified...
Yoo brandon said ass weird outfit
It’s 2021
2023
First comment and first like!!!
First
The "Hey guys!" at the start scared me :(
Whos watching this in 2021 😉
Me watching it in 2022
um brandon is copying the other players trick and using it in competiton is bad
You'll come across as unoriginal, but there is no longer any way that judges can score you down for it.
Also, you might have a ghost in your hoise, there was something moving in the back that scared me a lot
But if it were a G2 Ghost, that would be awesome
Off string Yoyo falling off huh
Who could have possibly done that
Manan Joshi brandon did it once ap 2016
Anthony Throws I know I was being sarcastic
Shion Araya is all super fast lol
I hear you, I've been on a binge of all of his performances and some of the people I think are contenders in Worlds. I'm so interested to see how this new rumored trick innovation element will play into players performances. All I can think of is how many Japanese players will suffer under it due to the fact that I just see a lot of performances based around clickfarming. I'd really be excited to see what a world winning Evan Nagao or Paul Kerbul routine would look like!
I'm definitely more interested in performances over freestyles. Nagao is certainly one of the most fun players to watch. That's what it's all about!
Who’s whatching in 2024
Who is even able to hit the roof of an shopping mall with an offstring yoyo?
Nick Nienhaus He was referring to something that happened to him.
What u didn't know we'll have corona virus in 2020
Blazing teens yoyo you buy
Lmao clickers are just pitch counters
i am a tech player so i don't have to worry about the tech part, well a little
BlackBearJr11 That’s not really what it means. Did you watch the video?
i need those for ASMR
