The new venue looks really good. Keeping the Triple Crown 1A only should allow you to keep things happening fast and make the excitement level high for the whole event. Sounds like it will be a really great contest. ---

The goal of the Triple Crown has always been to bring modern competitive yoyoing to the general public. We want to get more people involved, and help create more new players. After a lot of conversation about the success of André’s “Throwdown” contests in Mass, it seemed like a logical step to streamline the Triple Crown into a 1A-only event and put a heavier focus on the advance promotion for the event, the training areas at the event, and on exposing people to a level and style of yoyoing that would be the greatest possible inspiration to them to get started. ---

Why the name “Triple Crown” ---

> [@DrAwesome](#): > > Why the name “Triple Crown” I also don’t understand this. The name “Triple Crown” means, at least in the traditional sense, means that the winner is the leading in several categories, and with it being a 1A only event it kind of doesn’t make sense to call it the “Triple Crown of Yoyo.” ---

It’s called triple crown because a few years ago when it was first created there were three competitions: One in chicago, one in boston, and I can’t remember where the third one was I believe it was somewhere in cali. ---
