The three events in the “1st Flip Jump Triathlon” will be: Single Jumps, Combinations and Freestyle. You’ll have your choice of two types of Single Jumps and two types of Combinations.

Start practicing now, so you can win part of the $200 in prizes, as well as bragging rights.

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 can, 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 can, 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 can, with no video edits. You may change the number of chips you’re using during the event.

$200 in Prizes

The cash prizes will be awarded as follows:

1st Place = $70
2nd Place = $35
3rd Place = $20

Each of the five “Best Individual Event” winners will receive $15.

Contest Judging

I still haven’t worked out the exact judging procedures. It’s most likely going to be a combination of my poker buddies and I, as well as an online poll.

I’m now working on a seperate “Contest” page, which will have examples, all the official rules, an entry form, a listing of all the entries and a voting form.

Please feel free to comment with any suggestions and thoughts about this contest.
