The size of the yoyo community

Is the yoyo community shrinking or growing? It seems like contests on the West Coast are tiny compared to what the were, but then worlds always seems so big.

I know that there’s also a lot of yoyoers that don’t go to competitions and just throw at home. So on the whole, what do you guys think is happening? Growth, decline, or neither?

There was no BAC last year - was to be held at some toy expo but that fell through (BAC has been exploring different venues the past few years such as Oakland and San Jose at a museum). Hopefully we can see a BAC this year somewhere easily accessible and safe.

Was there someone on the team who was super passionate about using 3 nearly identical shades of red for that stacked bar chart?
