some dude was trying to get the WYYC to be in Prague in 2013, i literally saw this and started laughing⌠hard⌠i donât think he had a full understanding of why the contest is held in FL.
Hm. Not tryinâ to spread anything that isn;t true, sorry, itâs just what I heard around the block, somethinâ about a dispute with the guys fro EYYC and Greg from the current WYYC. It got the support of YoYoFactory so I figured someone reputable was in fact behind it.
But, your source that most yoyo competitors are American is a world competition thatâs held in AMERICA? I donât mean to be a jerk, but thatâs not really sufficient evidence haha. Iâve heard claims on these boards that America doesnât in fact have the most competitors and itâs just as good of a claim as yours, I donât know what to believe!
I feel rather confident that there will be a Worlds 2013 held in the regular spot in Orlando. If all works well according to my travel plans and scheduling, I should be there helping run production.
I will be unable to help or support any Worlds that is anywhere else unless it is closer to me. I canât afford the trip. However, the same argument can be made for other players around the world to move it out of Florida.
Now, the clock is ticking until this thread is locked and perhaps deleted.
âworldsâ will be where the players go. Will it be in Prague? I know little more than anyone in this thread so I donât know. I do know if someone proposed a better event players, sponsors, national organizations and judges would find it hard not to support it.
There are more forums than just YYE you know, go check out 91yoyo, the biggest yoyo community in China, then thereâs yoyoz, a forum located in the UK, and it sucks that itâll stay in Florida A lot of people will be the same or wonât go at all.
Good point, but that doesnât mean the US has the most, it just means that at YYE, most of the participating users are in the US.
Iâm sure if I were to hit more international yoyo forums, Iâd find way more international players.
I do feel in all fairness, the WYYC should move around to a different host country every year. The next 3 years should be used to form a respected and accepted international/world governing Yoyo association and have that group begin the process, at least planning out 2016 and 2017 before the 2015 contest takes place. With the âworld of yoyoâ unified, it should make this easy. 3 years is a lot of time. Use it wisely!
The World Cup moves. The Olympics moves. Other international contests move around regularly. Why not yoyo? Bring it to the world and make it a world event. The clock is ticking. Make it happen!
Well what if there was both a contest in Florida, and in Prague at the same time? What would you do then? Which would YYF choose to support, the true traditional worlds in Florida or the contest in Prague?
