They’re using the same ladder as the national yoyo contest right?

1a and open division?

Yes

Is there a particular hotel folks are staying at/hanging out at?

I’m taking Elliot and we’re staying at the closest Motel 6. I’m pretty sure some of the Arizona yoyoers (Tyler Rose, Tyler Goldenburg, Shannon Jackson) stay there as well.

Thanks Paolo. Let’s discuss on Saturday.

Last year it was a bag of prizes. Nothing specific.
