VSYC-26
Stella Duellum
Our Dueling Stars guest event · September 19, 2026 · Sterling, VA
GUEST EVENT · DUELING STARS
Stella Duellum · Prismatic Stars
Stella Duellum returns to VA States. Hosted by Anneurismz for Prismatic Stars, it has its own sign-up and its own rules, running alongside our divisions. It starts at 12:00 PM.
HOW STELLA DUELLUM WORKS
- One-minute routines, head to head
- Music is random. You hear it when the crowd does
- Wait off stage until your turn is called
- You cannot repeat the same routine twice. Repeating a routine is an instant disqualification.
- The winner of each round is decided by a live chat poll on the YoYo Contest Central YouTube stream
HOW TO ENTER
- Sign-up is run by Prismatic Stars, separately from VSYC-26 registration, on Challonge ahead of time, and in person on the day (most of the 2026 bracket signed up day-of)
- Questions go to Prismatic.stars.art@gmail.com, not to our contest inbox
SEE IT IN ACTION
★ Stella Duellum is organized, judged, and run by Prismatic Stars, hosted by Anneurismz. It sits alongside the contest rather than inside it, so its results do not affect placements in our divisions. Free to watch, same as everything else at VSYC-26.
