Yep! Should all be there… The only difference would be the T-Shirt. You may have to go through the registration again for another shirt… Let me know if you can’t and I’ll see about adding an option for add’l shirts. Just select no on the competitor part of the registration page. ---

If your friend incorporates a yo-yo into it some how I bet they could enter the banger contest? lol Nothing spintop is planned in terms of contest or exhibition, but there should be a LOT of space to show off some awesome spintop tricks! ---

It’s with a heavy heart I announce that the Gulf Coast Classic will be postponed until an unknown date due to Coronavirus outbreaks in Houston and the ongoing issues that Covid-19 is expected to make. The Gulf Coast Classic WILL happen! I just don’t want to risk anyone’s health. This was an INCREDIBLY hard decision. And I greatly apologize to everyone. I hope you all understand how much I do not want to make this post… But please know! As the nation is on the rebound from this we will make announcements as to when the Gulf Coast Classic is happening, and the Quest to crown the WINNER of the Banger Battle will take place! ---
