Competition Rules and Entry Requirements 

To enter the JOC, you must be 15 years old or younger on the day of the competition which will be January 14th, 2012. Entry fee of $50.00 must be paid to enter. You may sign up before the event by emailing your intention to compete to info@thewjf.com or you may sign up on the first day of the event (Thursday, January 12th, 2012). 

The Compulsories 

MOVES 
NO B - JURY!!!! 
Competitors may attempt to accumulate points in the Ball, Ring, and Club 
Compulsory Competitions. You do not have to attempt all the moves. You 
only get points for the moves you attempt and successfully execute and you are only allowed ONE ATTEMPT per move. There are no deductions for drops, moving the feet, etc. Moves will be credited if the form is consistent 
with the judges expectation of a successful execution of the move. For 
example, if you attempt a 180, and walk halfway around while continuing to throw (and in the most extreme cases, making the last throw with your arm behind you after you've completed a 180 degree meandering) then you may not receive points for that move since the form was not demonstrative of proper technique. Proper technique is defined as the technique used which conserves the most energy while providing the most consistently successful and aesthetically pleasing results. 

A list of the compulsory moves and their point values are detailed here:
