Change in WYYC 15 Seeding from Multi-National Contests
The International YoYo Federation has issued a new ruling on how Multi-National events will seed to the 2015 World YoYo Contest as well as all future World YoYo Contests. This does affect the upcoming Las Vegas Open!
Previously for WYYC14 Champions were seeded to the FINALS of the World Yo-Yo Contest.
Starting with World Yo-Yo Contest 2015 the Top 3 will instead be seeded to the SEMI-FINAL of WYYC15.
EYYC (Poland), AP (Singapore), Las Vegas Open (United States) and Latin America (Mexico) are the qualifying Multi-National Contests for WYYC15.
Not only EYYC, AP and Pan-America, but in the near future, we see a strong possibility of other regions being able to host their own MNC. Therefore, in order to accommodate all MNCs to be seeded to the World Contest, IYYF has decided to seed the MNC winners to the semi-finals instead. Furthermore, we value the quality of skill and performance of the top placing winners of MNCs and have decided to seed the top 3 from each division of all MNCs.

C3YoYoDesign Announce Berserker SS
C3YoYoDesign has announced a massive upgrade to their Berserker model…the redesigned Berserker SS. Check out the specs and their full press release below, filled to the brim with exclamation points!!
C3yoyodesign 2014 New Benchmark – Bereserker SS(Stainless Steel)!!!
In early 2012, Berserker was released as the ultimate design for Peter Pong to capture his first International Champion in EYYC Open. This is a major milestone of C3yoyodesign and also create the new trend of Professional Bi-metal yoyo design for contest players. A year later, we re-design Berserker to Berserker RX. With more experience and better craftsmanship, “Berserker Series” set up the New Standard for Bi-metal design in the market.
Before the end of 2014, we combined Berserker and Berserker RX with some new mindset of yoyo design. After a year of prototyping and testing, we proudly present to you the NEW LEGENDARY DESIGN: Berserker SS(Stainless Steel)!!!New definition of Power and Control:
Based on the “Step Curve” shape of previous versions, we reduced the curve area to increase the straight area for larger trapeze width, provide faster and easier control of speed.On Berserker SS, weight of the stainless steel rings give an extreme weight distribution. Thin body gives enough strength to hold the rings without adding extra weight. To give the best performance, Genuine Dif-e-Yo KonKave bearing and larger diameter 8mm stainless steel axle is used. Compare with all the contest designs of C3yoyodesign, Berserker SS has the most powerful spin power, best spinning time and strongest binding. You can easily control without worrying about the loss of spin power!
Premier Craftsmanship:
Along the tradition of Berserker Series, Berserker SS is a Bi-metal design of Stainless Steel ring smooth and perfectly attached with the 6061 body.
Experience machining, anodizing and quality control, Berserker SS is the LEGENDARY MASTER PIECE either on the stage or off the stage!!!
BerserkerSS – SS is abbreviation of Stainless Steel.BerserkerSS will have Team C3yoyodesign Japan member Shinya Kido and Shion Araya edition in the first release!!!
