Battle Rules

A friendly, low-pressure trick battle. No clickers, no deductions. Just your best tricks and a fun crowd.

How a Battle Works

  • Two players face off. A coin flip decides who goes first.
  • Each player gets a round (length listed with each division) to show their best tricks, then the other player goes.
  • Two rounds each. Then the judges, or the crowd, vote.
  • Winners advance through the bracket until one is left.

Judging

  • Three judges vote on difficulty, cleanness, and style. Majority wins.
  • In a crowd vote, the loudest cheer wins. Judges break ties.
  • Judge decisions are final, and good sportsmanship counts.

Equipment & Safety

  • Any skill toy is welcome. Bring spares.
  • Look before you throw. Keep looping, offstring, and tosses in the battle space.
  • Check your string before you start.

Music

  • We play a house playlist during battles. No music to send.

Organizers may change formats on the day to fit the crowd. Questions? Email hello@example.org.
