I have not had any time to practice......but I am willing to put up my best attempt. Tao, since you have already registered, can  you tell me does Spin Top have a registration fee, and require NYYL membership too?

Thanks


I paid $25 for registration and $25 for the yo-yo league. But I would think that as a yo-yo judge you would get the league fee waived.  ???

Ok! I am all set to compete....and I am surly going to beat the 2015 WORLD CHAMPION!

(If my words are being read literally, I am sorry this was meant to be sarcasm)

 I am hoping to do my best to keep the spin top championships alive. Now let's get a few other beginners out there free styling!

Great! Thanks Dave!
You never know what may happen the day of the freestyles. By the way, maybe one day I can beat Dazzling Dave on a spintop battle!  ;)

http://nationalyoyocontest.com/schedule/

Although it is not listed on the day by day, on top of the schedule it says:
"Sport Freestyle Division and Spin Top will be in the Westin LAX Theater on Saturday, September 26th."

Today at midnight is the registration deadline. So I guess we will know tomorrow (crossing fingers). I wrote to Jon and Mike D. but I have not heard back from them.

Doesn't Val Oliver compete often? Hopefully she signed up already. (or if we do not have enough to run the division, perhaps they will let her sign up now?)

I would hate to not have a Spin Top National contest!

I asked Thad yesterday morning but I have had no response yet.
Jon did write saying that he will be in Mexico. :(  I am really hoping that Mike D. registered.

Topper said he may come, but I don't think he likes to compete.

Anyway, the deadline to cancel the hotel was today, so I will be there for sure. I'll ask Brian to ship the trophy to the hotel.

On the latest email from nats, asking for players to upload the music (deadline is tomorrow and I have not yet chosen mine) it says:

Quote
Spin Top - we need your music too! Your performances are 3-minute finals.

So, I guess it is on!   ;D

This is my plan:

I arrive to the hotel Friday around 2PM. Throw tops with whoever is there the rest of the day.
Saturday morning: freestyles
Leave around 2PM for San Luis Obispo to visit the spintop collection of Dan Lassanske  8)
Stay in a hotel nearby and return the next morning to LA.
Have lunch at one of the TOPS burger joints in Pasadena.
Throw some tops at the beach before flying back in the evening.

I am sorry Cecil, but I think I'll visit you on a future trip to SF. We could organize a meeting with Herman, Catherine and Brian (he cannot throw a top right now.)
