I just got my plane tickets
I am using frequent flyer miles for part of the trip what limited my options, so I am arriving the morning of the 7th.
To recap, worlds this year will take place in Prague, Czech Republic, from Thursday the 7th until Saturday the 9th of August.

). The 3-day entrance pass is 12 euros (about $17). If you are competing in tops, there is a general competitor fee of $20 (includes entrance, but will go up in May) plus $20 for the Spintop division.
Yesterday, the sales manager of Cometa called me. Humberto was interested in knowing about it, so it is likely that Cometa will be represented. With Tyler, Jakub and Daniel already there, this promises to be a great spintop contest. Anybody else?
In addition to spintops, the general vibe of the yo-yo contest should be fabulous, with more than 1000 players from over 30 countries expected. Add the charm of Prague and it should be a memorable experience.
By the way, I am leaving Prague on Monday 11th for Paris where I will stay a couple of days
