I was planning on bringing YoNinjaYo sample pack string to nationals. NOT TO SELL. But to hand out. Hopefully We will get the feedback we need from our testers before Nationals, otherwise it might not happen. So Here is my question and its a serious one. Will I get in Trouble for handing out sample packs? I wont be collecting any money from it. They Will be free. It will consist on 3 string. Being a Free Sample pack. So that’s my question. I do not want to get in trouble or kicked out from watching the contest if handing out free samples will cause that to happen. So if anyone has the knowledge about it, please answer this post and let me know. Thank You- Colby ---

There shouldn’t be any problem with it. If you suspect you’ll have any problems though, just bring a ninja along as your body guard. ---

You have to sponsor to sell, for sure. However, since you’re just giving them out, there shouldn’t be a problem. I did something similar at Florida States. The thing is, if you get caught selling something at any contest, you get banned for life from any NYYL contest. This is actually true. ---

I don’t know a specific address, but I think there is a spot on the national yoyo contest site where you can submit a question. ---

Just as a note, you can work out deals before the contest and do the transactions there. I made sure of this before doing so at a contest I went to. ---

Blimey, does that count even with a view to B/S-ing?

Contest organizers won’t care if you’re handing out some free string. Nothing to worry about. ---

Handing out free string shouldn’t be a problem at all, nobody is going to care. I’m a major contest sponsor and I certainly don’t care… can’t imagine why anybody else would. Kyle ---

We had better be able to B/S/T at nationals. Because I am bringing $$$ and possible trades for that very reason. All the better because I just heard a rumor that YYF is not showing up this year. Can anyone confirm this? ---
