The month of May is almost here and it is time to prepare for worlds, August 3-6 (spintop freestyles Friday 5). Website:
www.worlds16.com.
I confess I have been procrastinating this year (but I am not competing, so I have an excuse).
If your are competing:
registration fees increase every month! This year spintop competitors pay the same as yo-yo players, no more special fees. The general competitor fees are:
–
Until March 31st – $45 USD– Until April 30th – $65 USD
– Until May 31st – $90 USD
– Until June 30th – $120 USD
– Until July 15th – $155 USD
– At the event – $200 USD
In addition, there is a $50 for the spintop freestyle. So I suggest you register this week (65+50= $115).
The official hotel of the contest is pretty expensive ($169 a night including taxes) but four people can share a room for the same price, so it comes to $42 per person per night. Is anybody interested in this? Of course, there are much more economic lodging options around but I have not yet investigated: any suggestions?
