Good luck everybody!
We have a new experimental chump that we are using. Hopefully that turns out to be a fun addition for the death and destruction round!

Re: Ultimate Battle Top Championships

Oh, and the Midwest regional yo-yo championship spin top battle was not kept stealthy.

It has been listed on the MWR website Every year, and we always have a battle in my backyard.

This year we had had 12 players, and Hayward came out on top!
