I might do rookie. I’m too good for rookie and not good enough for normal.

Thanks for the info. We have a few folks coming up from San Diego, and they had these questions. I shared it with them on the San Diego Yoyo Club FB page.

8

I’ll be there.

9

10

Does anybody know what companies will have vendors/tables?

11

As far as we know, no companies are going to be vending. Crucial and general yo usually come to contests in this area so you never know.

12

So, no other categories, other than 1a and X (I’m assuming that’s Open)?

13

Also, registration fees? Prizes? Trick ladder? Celebrity appearances? :wink:

14

No registration fee, we are working on the prizes.The divisions are gonna be 1a, open, rookie and ladder.

15

Perfect. Thanks for the clarification!

16

Hopefully I will be able to attend this as it’d be my first yoyo contest! I live about 50 minutes away and have yet to be trusted to drive on the freeway…
Anyways, is there going to be any type of vendors or celebrities as ebilfindas said.

Gosh, I’m hyped.

17

which means, if they come, we’ll have Ernie and Paul Yath! As far as others, I imagine a lot of players are pooped, returning from PNWR or EYYC, and with CalStates this weekend.

18

Lot of great yoyoers always come. I forgot to mention the judges are Yoshi Mikamoto, Grant Johnson, and most likely Anthony Rojas
