Same thoughts exactly!!!

822

I caan’t say anything on behalf of Andy but for me school is my first priority and yoying comes later, so if you guys haven’t noticed, ive been relatively inactive, thats because exams are coming soon and im at that point where i need all the good grades i can get so i really haven’t had time for yoyos right now. In about 3.5 weeks things should be back to normal (on my end that is)

Thanks for all the patience guys :slight_smile:

823

I’m pretty sure grades come first for most people, but this contest lost all it’s sizzle. I understand the rigors of school, having AP courses and such. But my AP work doesn’t consume me. (And I get great grades) However that’s beside the point.

Everyone has a live outside of yoyoing. School can limit your ability to do other things and I get that. Just seems weird that this died after being so strong. Also you two post to the forums quite often and this contest would just take up more if your studying time.

824

Yeah same. Performing Arts can be tough plus AP. But school is something I like to do well in.

825

I totally forgot about it, I was on vacation without internet access when the date was announced. Whoops :confused:

826

I understand all that being a student myself, but it was weird that almost no one turned in their videos. If we need to re-schedule is not a big deal.

831

Sure… But I didn’t get a pm.

832

It’s because we’re not up yet. We’re still gonna chill a little longer while we wait for hte loser’s bracket to catch up. I’ll pm you when a solid deadline comes :slight_smile:

833

Just want to give you guys an update while im studying for exams

  1. I do want to see this to the end, but nowadays i dont even have time to throw never mind organize this well

  2. Summer is starting in a week for me so hopefully i get back into this as well as the community in general i miss you guys :stuck_out_tongue:

  3. Yeah Andy and I are gonna try and coordinate the losers and winners round so we can have MAXIMUM EPICNESS for the end

  4. Im so sorry that this has taken an absurd time to finish I never thought it would jump up to such a high scale and I wanted to involved everyone (This was initially just a request for someone to battle me because i was bored)

HUGE thanks to Andy for trying to salvage this while I reviewing the industrialization of Meiji Japan and Romanov Russia, and thanks for all of you for being patient with us :slight_smile:
