2013 NC STATE YO-YO CONTEST

I'm happy to announce the reboot of the NC State Yo-Yo Contest!

The event will take place on December 14th, 2013 at the Dharma Club in Charlotte NC as part of the 2013 Southeast Winter Throwdown presented by Klack and Yoyoexpert.com



Who? This event brings together awesome yo-yo and kendama players from all over the Southeast!

What? Yo-yoers will compete in Sport Ladder, 2-minute 1a Freestyle, 2-minute Open Freestyle, and Fixed Axle Divisions. Many fabulous prizes will be handed out. The highest ranking 1a player with NC residence will be crowned the 2013 NC State Champion. LOTS of great kendama contests to watch or participate in as well!

When? December 14, 2013
11am-6pm - yo-yo and kendama events throughout the day.
Registration begins at 11, with yo-yo Sport Ladder and Fixed Axle taking place before Lunch. Freestyles will begin after lunch - exact time TBD.

Where?
The Dharma Lounge is a popular Dance Club in Charlotte, NC.
It is located at 1440 S. Tryon St, Charlotte NC, 280203

Why?
I'm not going to dignify this with a response. Ok, I will...
BECAUSE ANY RAD YO-YO SCENE NEEDS A COOL CONTEST.

How?
Much? How much? Is that what you're asking?
Registration is $10 for Freestyle divisions (1a or Open), $5 to compete in Sport Ladder, and $5 to compete in Fixed Axle. (Freestyle competitors may not compete in Sport Ladder.) This means you should bring $5, $10, or $15 so as to compete in the divisions you wish.
Freestyle division entrants will need to supply their own music. Music should be brought on a labeled CD, mp3 player, or removable data device and MUST be family friendly.
Drinks will be available for sale at the event, along with official event t-shirts, and raffle tickets for some great prizes.
