Alas I will be missing nationals since it’s the weekend of my parents 50th anniversary and we will be at the beach with them. Hopefully I can make a couple of these. My brother is in Houston now, so SCR is a distinct possibility. Kudos on the reboot! ---

Aren’t regional finals usually 2 minutes? Did they increase it to 3 minutes this year? ---

So because I rarely know what I am talking about I have a few questions, Can anyone compete in a regional competition, or is there a prerequisite competition you must win? The final is 3 minutes, is there a minute long preliminary round? (this is just what I have seen in previous competitions) Will there be specific state competitions this year? ---

Woo! Excited to get to Nats! Only a 90 minute drive away from me, though traveling in AZ in June is never pleasant. Sad my fixie hero @edhaponik won’t be able to make it, but stoked to meet some forum people in the flesh! DRINK WATER WHILE YOU’RE HERE! ---

> [@andy569](#): > > So there will be Nats but no worlds? Looks that way. > [@andy569](#): > > Aren’t regional finals usually 2 minutes? Did they increase it to 3 minutes this year? Yes, and yes. I don’t know the reasoning but if I had to guess, maybe because there were no contests last year and no worlds this year it’s a way to have more yo-yo content and give players more opportunity to show their stuff in a contest. > [@piano\_man19](#): > > Can anyone compete in a regional competition, or is there a prerequisite competition you must win? AFAIK anyone can compete. State champions might be seeded to finals, but I’m not sure about that. > [@piano\_man19](#): > > The final is 3 minutes, is there a minute long preliminary round? (this is just what I have seen in previous competitions) yep, there will be 1 minute prelims. > [@piano\_man19](#): > > Will there be specific state competitions this year? I don’t know for sure but given the density and pace of regional contests of this season (the whole thing finishes within 5 months, end of February to end of June) I would guess that there won’t be any state-specific contests this year. ---

As far as I know, the only fees are for competitors. I’m not 100% certain of this thought because I know smash bros tournaments often charge a venue fee and the last contest I attended (Nats 2015 in LA) had a venue fee as well IIRC. I don’t think state contests had a venue fee though, so I would be surprised if the regional contests did. But since I’ve never been to one I cannot say for certain, though I will guess “no”, there’s no fee to attend if you’re not competing. And if there is a fee, it will be nominal, like $20 max. ---
