2013 Bay Area Classic – Important Changes

April 6, 2013 By Steve Brown

2013 Bay Area Classic YoYo Contest

 

The website for the 2013 Bay Area Classic is up, and there have been a couple of important changes this year. Sounds like a nice step forward for the event…details are below and at BayAreaClassic.com. For those who don’t know, the Bay Area Classic is one of the longest running and most prestigious contests in the United States. Since 1998, the BAC has been the player’s choice of US contests and for many years was considered a more difficult win than US Nationals.

The changes to the event for this year should go a long way towards smoothing out the contest for everyone. Details below!

Here are some important changes for the 2013 Bay Area Classic!

1. Registration and Registration Fees are ALL ONLINE this year. So we won’t have any registration for freestyles on contest day.

2. Prelims are now off stage! You will have 15 songs to choose from for your Prelim Freestyle: http://bayareaclassic.com/1a-prelims-music-and-rules/

3. Your freestyle group (1A Prelims) and freestyle order will be posted a few days before the contest so that you know exactly when you have to go up!

Why the changes this year? Our venue has limited us to 6 hours of live music time and we wanted to make sure to do it the fastest most efficient way possible yet still give you a great day and weekend of yoyoing :).

Swiss Kendama player Thomas Holzer just released this new kendama video, 5 Tricks In San Francisco, and it’s incredible.

This might well be one of the densest kendama trick videos I’ve ever seen. The amount of work put into these five combos is over the top, and absolutely beautiful to watch. Bookmark this video, you’re going to want to watch it a few dozen times.
