I know I do so many contests lately. I have found one flaw that I would like to do a special contest for. I have noticed that there are many on these forums that have just picked up the sport of yoyo. I was thinking of doing one more contest that is for player 6 months in or less. It will allow the younger, less advanced players to compete in an all 1A Division contest. It would be judged by professionals only, unless very special permission is granted. However, last time I said something about doing a contest, people did not like the idea. But then, it became a huge thing. I was wondering, should I do this contest for younger players? Vote and reply below with your answer. Thanks, -Zorro ---

If you’re new to something and try to compete at it the odds are you’re going to lose. I dont think it is that necessary to make another contest for new yoyoers, but maybe for just yoyoers in a younger age group would work well. Maybe 11 or 12 and under group so that they wont be intimidated to compete. ---

I think it’s a good idea and plus it will help the newer people in yoyoing build positive confidence. ---

Maybe you should do another contest but maybe wait on it for a little bit like a month or so because I’m being honest here it’s a hassle to turn in stuff like a video also I think their are some Yoyo players that I believe are under 6 months doing that are doing he competition you put together now. ---

That sounds great and looks like a possible medium for newer throwers, but give it some breathing time and wait until you’re done with your contest ---

> [@stuarttw](#): > > It’s for amateurs, remember? Aren’t we all just amateurs? A contest based on months yoyoing is flawed anyway. Scenario: Person 1: I’ve been yoyoing for two days. Other Person: You should join this contest! Person 1: (after winning contest) Oops I lied. Sorry.
