I thought that State contests used 2 minute freestyles for the finals. The contest website says they’ll be 3 minute. ---

I’m sorry, but are you competing at VA state yoyo contest? Or have you ever been to the contest? If not, why are you complaining about a contest you haven’t even been to? I personally don’t have a problem with a 3 minute freestyle. Also the reason VA state yoyo contest has a 3 minute yoyo freestyle time is cause it’s not part of the national yoyo league… Yet. ---

He doesn’t need to have gone to the contest to know that he wouldn’t like a 3 minute freestyle. Also, he’s not complaining about the contest, he’s just saying do doesn’t like that the freestyle is an extra minute long… ---
