I was waiting to hear the results and find out how Zach placed, and watch his video. I thought he did pretty well, his tricks are so mind blowing. Correct me if I’m wrong, but it seemed like his worlds routine was a slower, maybe a little more… Chill? Version of his winning nationals routine. With the famous neck trick and that one where he crosses his arms and like… Pushes the yoyo out from between the crook in his arms. Anybody know what I’m talking about?

Zach got automatically seeded to finals from winning US Nats. Paolo got seeded for winning Nats somewhere else. Palli just won UK Nats. How come he didn’t get automatically seeded to finals? Thanks 🙂 I’m fairly certain Yuji won UK nats…? ---

Thanks 🙂 Yuji S Kelly won UK Nats. Also, Paolo won Brazillian Nationals (I wish Marechal had won though) and if you haven’t watched the top 3 yet, you really should. Ahmad Kharisma was really good too, as was Hiroyuki, but he had a few mistakes (that freestyle was the first time ever I had seen him change yoyos). Paul Kerbel was also pretty amazing. I also like Akitoshi Tokubuchi’s freestyle, it’s a repeat from Japan Nationals but I’m a big fan of him (seems I’m the only one). ---

Palli is from Iceland, so he would not be eligible to be the UK National Champion. He won the international competition at UK Nats, but that is a side competition for foreign players and not related to crowing the UK National Champion. I don’t think Iceland has a national contest, so unfortunately Palli’s only option is to go through prelims unless he gets a seed by winning Worlds. The UK contest may have been too late to get a seed for this year’s Worlds anyway, since registration for competitors was already closed before the UK contest. Yuji was not listed as a seeded player on the Worlds site. ---
