I have to apologize to Eli who wanted to do the corkscrew challenge and to Tyler Young who went to the post office on short notice to mail the trophy. I kept asking the hotel front desk if they had received the trophy, but they told me that "shipping" did not have it. I guess we could have had the contest without the trophy, but the last day was pretty hectic and I completely forgot. When I got home I could check the tracking and had indeed been delivered to the hotel, on Wednesday! After calling the hotel and speaking with "hotel shipping" I finally found that a Priority Mail package would not be handled by them but directly with the front desk. They had it all along!
I asked them to return it to sender. Hopefully it will arrive ok. By the way Kyo had big problems with their "shipping" department.
Ta0 - wasn't the winner supposed to receive some grade EH string?
I am sorry. Backstage I asked Mark if he wanted to hand you the string together with the Chico 2.0 but as we did not have a bag to put all the goodies together he asked me to give them to you afterwards. We had to leave to Miamisburg right after the awards and I forgot.
I'll put them in the mail.
Before Ann arrived, I tried to get a consolation prize for Jack. Here is a video of the soon after crowned best female yo-yo player in the world, Betty Gallegos from Mexico, dedicating a spintop throw to Canada and Jack:
I would have asked the same from Ann, but she was already being stalked by Mike and I did not want to freak her out
