Again I would like to thank all of you for coming! There’s a first time for everything, which is always experimental. If you have any feedback, good or bad, I’d love to hear it in order to plan properly for next year. I hope everyone had fun. Congratulations to our winners, a full yoyonews post with finals scores should be posted tonight. Official videos were recorded, and should be uploaded to YouTube over the following week. For now, the Preliminary scores are up on our Facebook page for those interested. That’s all for now, I’ll keep all of my friends here up to date with anything new. Thanks again! -Robbie ---

Advice for next year, Have age divisions for 1a like Massachusetts state does and many other state competitions. Like a 12 and under, 13-17 and 18 and up. Have age divisions like Massachusetts state for sport ladder have all rules clearly written on website so people know what to expect. Get more than 2 judges. Around 4 Try and stick to the schedule, some things started to early or to late so people missed the events. Try and have vendors come It was kind of disappointing that there were no divisions so no kids got to the finals. Older people have had more years to practice so it was not fair to the younger kids that drove from all over to come when they had no shot at winning because there were no divisions. Otherwise I had a great time and I can’t wait till next year! From Sophia ---

We can only offer age groups if there is enough interest for the contest, and we didn’t expect such a GREAT turnout! :o Now that we can confirm that there is enough of an interest, we can work out some sort of age groups for at least sport ladders next year. As far as the scheduling, everything seemed to have gone according to plan, other than sport ladders starting slightly later than expected. I’m not sure if perhaps something seemed unclear about the schedule that could’ve put someone under the impression that there was an issue? We are happy to announce that nobody missed their event, so I’m not sure what source is telling you that. ??? As for judges, we are going to add more for the comfort of the players. We think AJ and Shane did a fantastic job, but if the players want more judges, we’ll give them more! ;D In regards to vendors, we cannot control who does and does not decide to vend our contest. We offered vending opportunities to our sponsors, but none of them were able to make it. Please remember that when a company vends a contest, they have to manage sending their products and staff to contests that are often far out of their way, which sometimes impedes their ability in doing so. Thank you for your feedback. We are glad you and everyone else had fun at the contest! -Robbie ---
