Worlds ’13 revealed this week on YoYoRadio
Posted by Dr. Yo-Yo in Contest Reports, News on February 6th, 2013
For a while there, 2013 was starting to look like a “Year of Two Worlds”. The World Yo-Yo Contest in Florida and “Worlds’13″ in the Czech Republic were scheduled on the same day and seperated by the Atlantic Ocean. Lines started to cross in the yo-yo world as players began declaring that they were True to Worlds in Florida, or Making the Change to the Euro scene. Some saw Worlds’13 as needed and welcome change. Some saw it as Mafia style strong arming against Greg. Big names started to form on both sides. I have actually been getting ready to write teh article “A Case for Two Worlds” when rumors started flying that Worlds’13 may not happen, or that it would be a week apart from the traditional contest. It was even speculated that the event would be a co-op in two locations, relying heavly on broadband for dual site judging. The situation is full of rumor and speculation and players who are looking to get a jump on cheap airfare are looking at the Czech or Florida. This Friday on YoYoRadio all the rumors get cleared up. Joe, Tom and AJ will be talking to Ondrej Sedivy, Rafael Matsunaga and Hironori Mii. The three international yoyoers, two of which are National Masters will make an announcement on YoYoRadio about the future of the World Yo-Yo Competitions.
YoYoRadio will be the first place this info goes public and it all starts at 9:30PM EST
If you’d like to talk to them during our live show, you no longer need Skype – you can call them at that’s (302)319-YOYO! (302-319-9696) If you want to listen to the show LIVE, it airs (almost) every Friday night at 9:30pm EST. If you a in a computer, click this link HERE. If you on an iPhone, click this link HERE, and if you have an android phone, download “Just Playlists” and click HERE and select”Just Playlists” as the application.
Easy as that!

Duncan is really making my day. This is a YoYoSkills Exclusive at the moment.
This poster has images of all the cards on it, and will be sold at Worlds for a few bucks
The Cards themselves will ONLY be available at the Duncan table at Worlds!
DUNCAN GOES INSANE!!!!
INSANLY AWESOME!
Announced by Jack Rinca
On top of launching Screaming Eagle, Duncan is running two other promotions starting this weekend.
First up, Duncan is launching a set of 80 trading cards to go along with the 80th anniversary! The cards will be packaged with the classic models and will be available in mass starting this fall. Similar to the Duncan Online game, these will be a part of a scratch off sweepstakes and will have online codes to enter to win one of 3000 prizes. Looking back at previous Duncan sweepstakes, you stand to win some really cool stuff. The cards will feature the Duncan Crew and a few past Duncan Players and events. At worlds, there will be full sets of trading cards and posters featuring all of the cards available for sale. This will likely be the only time that complete sets of these cards will be available. Don’t miss a chance to own some history.
Next up, in previous years, Duncan has offered up an MG as a bounty for the player that places highest at worlds using a duncan product. This year, we are all about pushing it even further and sweetening that pot. This year, the player that places the highest using a duncan product at worlds will recieve $1,000 and one of each screaming eagle release until next worlds. So far, that means a MayheM, a Vendetta and the suprise Screaming Eagle release for worlds along with $1,000 and any releases with the Screaming Eagle brand name until Worlds 2010.
Simply put, get practicing and Throw Duncan!

Great Interview with Tyler Severence
The YYF Countdown Blog is constantly updating with great info.
Like this interview with former 5a champion Tyler Severence.
yyfcountdown: And what about in Arizona, how is the yo-yo scene there?
Tyler: The Az scene is pretty small. It is like its own little island. Some of the kids have a lot of potential but they need to get out more. I think it has hampered their development that there is no contests here.
yyfcountdown: Any plans to change that?
Tyler: I’d love to get behind an Az state contest. Get the Cali folks over and maybe a few people from back east. would have to run it in a cooler time of year though. Its 115 here today.
