World Yo-Yo Contest newsletter

Sorry about sending all these e-mails out in such a fast order.

The Multiple registration for the World Yo-Yo Contest is now working. If it is not for you PLEASE E-mail us and let us know. We think we have it fixed now. Two modules for this software package were at odds with each other. One was removed and it is working in our tests.

There was another error that was making the connection look insecure for registration is now fixed. It was always secure, it just did not look that way to some browsers.

We have had some issues with some people registering with the World Yo-Yo Contest. Some people registering two or more attendees are getting a page not found error. We've been trying to track down the problem. The issue seems to stem from the way some browsers pass data back to us. The result is that some people will have trouble registering more than one person at a time. If you are one of these people, please register one person, then register another one. We are sorry for this inconvenience. We hope to have this issue fixed shortly with the help of the people who wrote this software.

Just a quick note, The discount room block for hotel rooms at the Rosen Plaza hotel for the World Yo-Yo Contest is almost full. The hotel is full except for this block of rooms. After July 11th any unbooked rooms in our block will be released and while you can still get the discounted room rate, there is no guarantee that there will be rooms to be had. Remember; you will not be charged for a hotel room until you show up, and if you cancel with 48 hours warning you will not be charged. If you think you are coming, do register for a hotel room with the Rosen.

Prices for the World Yo-Yo Contest were to go up on December 31st, but do to an error that was preventing people outside the USA from setting the correct country, we have extended current prices until January 3rd.

The error is now fixed.

Thanks for understanding.

Best wishes,

This is just a quick note to say that registration is open now for the 2011 World Yo-Yo Contest and our new site is up. Please check for updates at http://www.worldyoyocontest.com.

Some things to note:
Event registration has started, The best price to attend worlds is available right now. Due to many requests we got this up early so that you can give or get given admission to the World Yo-Yo Contest for the holidays. To this end, if you register before December 31st admission will be less than last years admission.

Hotel registration has not started yet, but will soon.
