The Bay Area Classic is one of the longest running and most prestigious yoyo contests in the United States. This year’s event will be held Saturday, May 25th and is shaping up to be another legendary throwdown.
The contest website has been updated with a schedule of events, as well as a full list of competitors. Aside from pre-qualified players, only 10 players in 1A will advance from prelims to finals…out of 90 registered competitors. Not only do you have to throw a top-quality, original routine but you’re going to have to run it with ZERO mistakes to get through to finals. Below is a list of pre-qualified players who are already confirmed through to finals…the talent on this list is staggering!
Information has also been announced for the pre-contest Friday Night Pizza Party!
We are all going to have a pizza party with a secret un-released Mystery Bag! Each stuffed with a yoyo that has not been released yet worth $20 dollars for $10! Only 30 available so you better line up! Be at Pizza Inferno at 5:00 PM – just two blocks from our official Hotel the TOMO!
