*Important note on X Division
For the Championship 2A, 3A, 4A & 5A divisions, if there are less than 5 players in each of these championship divisions, registered players will automatically be combined into X division. This will still be a 3 minute Final.
Also if any of the divisions are a Championship Division (5 or more players) AND you want to compete in X Division you cannot include the same discipline in that division (eg if 5A has a championship division and you compete in that - you cannot do 5A in X division too)
The winner of X Division will not be National Champion – just winner of the X Division.
Do I need to be good to compete?
Nope - ANYC is about participation and fun! See our top 20 players from ANYC 2024 here
Is there an amateur division?
There is no amateur division for ANYC 2025. We noticed that most of our past amateur-division players were at a similar level, if not more skilled, than our main Championship division players.
As organisers, we decided that awarding all of our players with an official Australian ranking would promote the competitive spirit. Moving on from Prelims to Finals is definitely a very significant achievement!
What do I need to bring?
If you are competing, make sure to bring your yoyo, back-up yoyos, and extra strings, bearings and pads. Bring a sharpie if you want to collect signatures!
Can I buy yoyos at the event?
Yes! There’ll be booths from OFFSET, other brands, and some limited edition sales & deals.
Can I come with my parents/friends?
Absolutely! Spectators are welcome and it’s a family-friendly environment.
What if I just want to watch?
Great! Just come along as a spectator for free and enjoy the vibe.

Is there an amateur division?
There is no amateur division for Sydney Regionals 2026. We noticed that many of our past amateur division players were similar (if not better) than our main Championship division players. Our main Championship player count was just 14 last year - it's pretty much guaranteed you'll be top 20 in Sydney!
