I am not sure I can attend. Do I need to register early? Can I come day of and get in? Will the prices be the same?

Wow, that looked crazy! I'm curious, do they dock a lot of points off for dropping the yo-yo?

Mmm, well they changed the scoring system recently. It's out of 100 now, so there are technical judges and artistic judges or something. BUT the GOOD way of scoring had these clickers like at carnivals. Basically, do something well, get good points, do something badly, get a negative point. So dropping a yoyo used to be 3pts off (heavy as penalties go), but now it's just one. So I only lost 2pts for that... I lost 6 points, so the other 4 were just my screwups. So to answer your question, dropping a yoyo is not good, but it's better to go with more advanced stuff and switch yoyos than go basic and use the same one. Ideally you should go advanced and use the same one.. but that's not usually the case. So no, changing yoyos itself did not really kill my points that much.

Ha, you can see my youngest brother Aizec in the back. Was his first Yo-Yo competition.

Edit:scratch that. It's not him. Just looks similar.

Wait hold up your brother yo-yos?

I never said that. I just said those work against you. It's not a hard fule. But at this point, you probably couldn't be a delegate because you can't interpret properly :)

DYK....

...We had a ton of extra pizza leftover?
...Someone wanted to judge, so I made them take the judging oath?
...They stopped repeating it on the "Fervor of a chipmunk" line?
...You're more likely to do "Radio DJ" voice if you're at a podium?
...I couldn't hear a question, so I assumed it was about elephants?
