Hey guys, sorry I haven’t updated much lately. I’ve been really busy with work and helping my new roommate move in. I wanted to announce our sponsors for this years contest, so far. We are pleased to have YoYoExpert, Duncan, YoYoJam, CLYW, Square Wheels YoYo Company, G Squared, and One Drop all confirmed as sponsors. I am still talking to a few more possible sponsors for the contest. I’ll be designing and ordering a banner this week. A good friend of mine who has shot local music videos will be on hand to record the freestyles and I’m really excited for that. The contest rules will mostly follow those of MWR so for Junior we will be doing 14 and under in the 1A Division and the freestyles will be 90 second. If you’d rather compete in the the main 1A Division please contact me before the contest if you are under 15. Over the next two weeks I plan on updating more often with information. See you all soon, -Bryce ---

I know of a few sponsored players that will be there that may have new product to sell. A few of us in the Des Moines area are trying to get a toy store to start selling yoyos and supplies and hopefully next year we can get them to sponsor. ---

> [@Erik\_kerber](#): > > Does music need to be on an ipod? > > or is it ok to bring it on a disc. Hey Erik, I’d suggest bringing it on disc and iPod too. The venue is a concert location so I’m pretty sure we’ll have the ability to use disc or have a patch cable to do it off an iPod. I’ll also have my laptop there and if its on a flash drive i can burn it down on a disc. Also I think I’m going to setup my dropbox to have a public folder tonight for uploading songs. ---

Just wanted to bump this up in front of everybody’s eyebones for one last ballyhoo before tomorrow’s 2013 Iowa State YoYo Contest. I know Bryce has endeavored to stepped it up just a bit more again this year with more sponsors and the like despite having a lot on his plate with other life stuff going on. We have a great venue right downtown for this year’s competition. Every thing’s on track for it to be a fantastic day, all we need now is you. So anyone in and around our neck of the woods should absolutely gather their favorite throws in a haversack put forth their most energetic effort to get themselves to downtown Des Moines in the morning. You don’t have to be an accomplished competitor, I sure ain’t. For some of us it is a great opportunity to be schooled by some very accomplished throwers who also seem to be fairly decent rabble to hang with. Come just as an enthusiast looking to congregate with fellow confreres of yo. See y’all tomorrow. 1. ---
