Prelims are 1 minute freestyles to determine who gets to perform a 3 minute freestyle in finals. If you want to compete in 1a, you’ll have to do 1a prelims and if you do well enough, you’ll move on to finals. > [@papaYOYO](#): > > also, what time does it start on Friday?

I started colon yo as an effort to start a yoyo club with some friends. the few that were kinda interested haven’t kept yoyoing. About the VA logo yoyo, that is just a FHZ w/ a va state outline that I edited as a logo for the facebook page. I’d love to get someone to print that logo on my FHZ caps though! If you know anybody who could please let me know. Or maybe I can work on making caps like that as an art project… ---
