LF Pro Tips For Attending Contests

General Yo-Yo
1

So, I know I’ve voiced my general feelings about contests BUT

I might be going to the Texas state contest in a month or so. I’m pretty stoked about it, It’ll be my first one.

So, What are some things that I should prepare for ahead of time?

Will there be vendors [that sell yoyos and yoyo stuff]?

Do people BST at these kinds of events?

Should I bring multiple yoyos?

Should I bring food/drink for myself?

Should I wear pants?

Give me some contest hacks, y’all! I’m way too stoked about this rn. I’ve never been around other competent throwers irl

Bring multiple yo-yos. People do BST. If your not competing you don’t really have to prepare. You could bring food. But it depends on where the location is. Have fun :slight_smile:

No pants 100% forget the rest.

I assume pants AND shirt will be required…
Bring a lot of your own string since you will probably meet other string makers!

Vendors are hit or miss, people do BST all the time at contests, Pants are recommended but not required, bring as many yoyos as possible, maybe bring a water bottle or pack a sandwich but you should check if there are going to be places with food around there, most contests break for lunch. Hope you have fun!
