Flip Jump Triathlon Events

< 1 > Single Jumps

Choose between:

Fat Jumpers – When the Jumper stack has a lot of chips, such as a 622.

High Climbers – When the Catcher stack is several chips taller than the Base stack, such as a 226.

You’ll have 15 seconds to do as many Flip Jumps as you want, with no video edits. You may change the number of chips you’re using during the event.

< 2 > Combinations

Choose between:

Combinations using 9 or less chips.

Combinations using 10 or more chips.

You’ll have 15 seconds to do as many Flip Jumps as you want, with no video edits. You may change the number of chips you’re using during the event.

< 3 > Freesytle

This is where you can do any kind of Flip Jumps you want. You can use all the different catches, do two-handed Flip Jumps using one or two Base stacks, and include Zeros and Slinky’s. You can also combine Flip Jumps with Shuffles or any other type of poker chip trick.

You’ll have 30 seconds to do as many Flip Jumps as you want, with no video edits. You may change the number of chips you’re using during the event.

Contest Entry Details

Contest entries will be submitted to an online video service such as YouTube. I’ve set up a group on YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/group/flipjumptriathlon. There’s nothing there yet except an icon video, and the video upload feature is disabled until the official start of the contest. However, you won’t be required to use the YouTube group if you don’t want to, any online video service will do. Just submit the URL.

Each contest entrant will be allowed two entries, as long as the second entry uses the Single Jumps and Combinations not used in the first entry. For example, if your first entry included Fat Jumpers and Combinations with 9 or less chips, the second entry must include High Climbers and Combinations with 10 or more chips. You may use the same Freestyle video for both entries, or have a different one for each entry.

Each entry can win a maximum of 2 prizes.

Contest Judging

The first round of judging will be via an online poll where anyone can vote. The top 5 voted entries in each category will move on to the final round. The final round winners will be voted on by contest entrants only.
