The new judging format from the National Yo-Yo League

Came across this at YoYoSkills.com and thought I should share this, I copied the contents over.

This year the NYYL is experimenting with the way the NYYL Registered contests are judged. This new format puts a bigger emphasis on performance. This is the judging format that will be used for Cal States, and maybe PNRW. If it goes well it will be used at Nationals.
Here is how it works:
Clicker Component – 50% of final score
Clicker based scoring, normalized to 50 points total.
• The technical aspect is scored (transitions, difficulty, risk, consequences of failure, etc.)
• No additional points for originality, continuity, uniqueness, etc. These considerations are part of the evaluation score.
• Judges will be very strict regarding repeated tricks or elements. No score is given for repeated tricks/elements
• Deductions will be taken for missed elements, missed binds, and losses of control. Restarts and changeouts will be deducted separately.
Evaluation Components – 20% of final score
1. Cleanliness of tricks: Clean string, precise trajectories, defined string hits, smooth transitions, and overall ability to perform with accuracy. (0 to 8 points)
2. Variation in style: Demonstration of ability to perform a wide variety of tricks encompassing the diversity within the style of play. (0 to 7 points)
3. Uniqueness: Presentation of tricks that are uncommon or new in the competition environment. Also considered to be rareness, originality, creativity, unusual styles, etc. (0 to 5 points)
Performance Evaluation (PEv) – 30% of Final Score
1. Music use and Choreography: Creative use of music and choreographed movements to the music. Clearly planned to coordinate music and performance. (10 points)
3. Body Control, Presentation, and Professionalism: Ability to elegantly control body movements, present tricks to the audience/judges, and convey a professional demeanor. (10 points)
Then your three scores are added up and your deductions are subtracted. The final amount is your score.
