I honestly can’t believe we are right back in the same boat as the National YoYo contest, absolutely horrid access to video coverage. The Asia Pacific contest had multiple live stream options and all of the videos were available right after the round. Same with Japan. Mean while we have to deal with the RIDICULOUS fact that we have to PAY to watch video of the contest and even then I had video connection issues and they didn’t put the videos up afterward! I mean does anyone involved in this contest realize that like 1% of throwers can actually make it to Cleveland and the rest of us rely on the live stream and replays? Jesus, it’s 2019, just put a damn iPad on a tripod and stream the thing on Instagram or Youtube or even FaceBook. Instead we are using Vimeo (which doesn’t have an app on Smart TVs) like we time-traveled back to 2013 and there are no replays to watch except what people captured from the audience. Am I the only one who thinks this is absolutely absurd? I’ve been looking forward to this for weeks, I get home and literally all I get to see is the last two minutes of the results and that’s it. I am so bummed. ---

I dont think so, but it feels smaller diameter wise… probably around 54/55mm. Not sure about the width. Has a nice relaxed feel to it for a bimetal. ---
