I’m not up on all the activities in the region, but SER is in Florida, as is Florida states. If anything, it’s a starting point. ---

Its all about finding a contest, then just do it. Dont worry about your trick or level in yoyoing. You will always get better. The main thing is to do it. My first contest was Cal States in '07, I had to travel something like 900 miles. I wasnt very good (still not very good hahaha) but i did it anyway. ---

I know that I’m just tying to find sign up information for the SER but the websight is a bit lacking ---

> [@silvercobra725](#): > > I know that I’m just tying to find sign up information for the SER but the websight is a bit lacking SER has been over for this year allready and it was pretty small. The next contest right around the corner is Virginia States. I’m in NC so I’m closer to you than most, I was actually in Myrtle Beach today, haha. Supposedly the 26th of Jan as said in this thread, [Attention Virginia throwers: Any rumors on states 2013? - Yo-Yo Contests, Clubs, and Events - YoYoExpert](http://yoyoexpert.com/forums/index.php/topic,52905.0.html) ---

Being able to go to the contest is the biggest thing. Competing is just fun, something to really just have bragging rights 🙂 Don’t worry about competing! Its easy!
