I’ll be happy to get you one, but the WYYC engraved XT is only available with the wooden worlds box that includes either the new AL butterfly, tourney, barracuda, or flying squirrel. Happy to send you pics of some stuff and some prices tomorrow id you’d like. My recommendation after playing all of them would be the tourney/XT box which is 75$. ---

What yo-yos did they give away? 😃 It’s so fun when you go to big events and get cool free swag! I wish I could take you up on the offer of picking up a tourney/xt for me…thanks for making it!

These scores really confused me. Some participants that did really well placed so low (mainly looking at janos, but there were others as well) while.others that messed up a bunch of their routine somehow made it to finals. Edit: mir kim too shouldve made it. Dude hit a perfect freesryle and everyone was stoked the entire FS. I remmeber watching it thinking he would win semis. ---

Notice that the difference between Janos’ place vs 19th is 5 points in total score and 3 points in technical evals. It was really tight ---

I agree. But these scores just made me so upset. You have someone like kacper who missed half his freestyle score higher than mir kim who completely killed it in all senses of the word. ---

Kacpers freestyle was completely designed to score high. You can see that Mir Kim’s freestyle was not as meta with as many clear clicking elements. He has a style that can be more judge dependent But I would agree he is more skilled than Kacper and expected him to make finals going into today ---

I get it. I have no clue how scoring works and i dont want to pretend like I do. But as a spectator seeing these scores compared to their freestyles it feels like some players got completely jipped while others that made it probably shouldnt have made it. ---

The ones that were more sloppy but still made it(Connor and Luke come to mind but I know there were others) were contenders for top 5 or 10 if they went clean, they had very high scoring styles. And again if you look at overall score and technical eval scores(TE, clicks), the scores were very close to each other. The difference between 3rd and 11th was less than 5 points I was thinking of clicking myself to see how my scores would stack up to the actual ones but that was just too many :joy: ---

It’s a panel of judges who score these things. Results are naturally going to be somewhat unpredictable. ---
