Well didn’t it occur that maybe some kids are going to lie if it goes how I expect it plus if it is online not everyone has a YouTube account to show there tricks

I agree that a trick contest would be a bit unfair to people that aren’t as good and don’t have cameras. I think you should do a contest using only the yye site.  
You could have a list of questions like: what string company is the only company to make strings that are blue/black/and white.  
I could help you make it. plus I love contests

> The one total artist just finished up was probably the best online contest I’ve ever seen. Seeing how you have so many YoYos I would love to do something like that again. Battles are a bit unfair to noobs so i say video battles or best trick isn’t the way to go. I’ve been yoyoing for the years so don’t think i said that cuz I’m scared. Just like it when everyone gets a solid chance. So my vote would be for quizzes or even a scavenger hunt through several websites to find answers that a person would have to pm you with to enter a drawing. all correct answers enters the contest and if only 1 got them all correct they win or a drawing or win for the most right.

Thanks a lot Ghost’ I really appreciate that one :). A lot of great ideas in this thread…very creative.

Alot of people are saying that they can’t win because they are un-skilled, i’m doing this exactly to prevent that! You get to decide the competition!You could make it into something that you are skilled in. Keep the ideas coming guys and gals!

I think you mis-understood, it can be ANY kind of contest, drawing, video, trivia, random, juggling, anything. For pen spinning, each entry would submit a video of them pen-spinning.

But who knows how to penspin? More people could enter if it was a yoyo contest.

I’m not saying that it IS going to be a penspinning contest, i’m just saying that if enough people wanted, it COULD be one.
