   I have to strongly disagree with your statement. The level of some players is indeed getting higher, and yes, they are crazy good at it, but on the other hand the level in Mexico is not going anywhere. New and awesome players are getting discouraged by the AMYY(Mexican Yo Yo Association.) Mistreating people is part of the association on a daily basis, people getting rude and insulting answers, people getting kicked out of contests and not being allowed to participate in any contest just because once you bought a yoyo at yoyoexpert and not in the AMYY store, people getting pushed and yelled at by the president of the association, they even deny selling you strings or response pads as a way of getting you to stop playing, all because they simply dont like you or you dont get yoyos at their store. Some real good players dont even go in to contests even if they are way better than some players, all because they already know they have no chance to win, you win if you buy tons of yoyos, not because you are good. The association has even admitted that scores are arranged, -“yeah, i changed the scores, so what?!”.
   The advanced category is the one you could say has some truth to it, Luis Enrique and Paul Kerbel kill it every single time, and they do deserve to be national champions because there is truly no one at their level of play. I have seen a huge amount of players stop yoying all because of this, if you show any sign of independence from the association you are simply not allowed to compete, people get discouraged by the literally insane behaviour the association has. People keep supporting it because they have no chance, they are scared of not doing what they are told and getting kicked out. It is not just me who is saying this, there are tons of people complaining about this, but there is not much we can do. If you ask the association if any of this is true, or if they have anything to say about it, they are just going to play as the cool funny and supportive guys they are not, they simply fool you and make you think the best of them. If this doesnt get posted at least i hope you read it Steve, you have known these guys for a while now, the problem is not the players, it is how the president is running the assocation. I hope you read this, i have no idea who else to get support or advice from, you have been at it for a long time and know how things are done in the yoyo community, i hope i can contact you to discuss this issue further. AMYY is truly killing yoyoing in mexico.
   I’m not posting my name because i truly fear for my safety when putting this issue on the table.

   Please reply to this if you can.

   Thank you!
