Japanese action-punk band Peelander-Z is scheduled to perform a free concert at 4:30 p.m. on Saturday, August 9, as part of the second annual International Yo-Yo Open.

We have added a new page, Judging Information, which provides details on the cretieria that the judges will use at this years contest. This creiteria represents a big step forward for yo-yo contests by encouraging players to not only prepare a top-notch technical routine, but to also to incorporate a strong performance aspect into the routine.

You can register to compete in the International Yo-Yo Open or the New York State Yo-Yo Contest.  For more information, please see the registration information here.

We're pleased to announce that Henry Dineen and André Boulay will serve as the head judges for the 2008 International Yo-Yo Open. These gentlemen are two of the finest yo-yo minds in the world and we're honored that they will be helping us out this year.
