The 2008 Midwest Regional event was held on June 21st, 2008 at the Mall of America. We had 43 total players in all of the divisions, and as always some amazing freestyles.
The 1 minute freestyles were needed to bring the pool of players down from 27 to only 15. We had 3 players seeded from the following state contests. (Minnesota, Illinois, Mossuri) In the end we used 18 players to freestyle. We have followed the NYYL guidelines, and have used 2 minutes for the finals freestyle.
We had a huge drop off in registration for the 4A and 5A division this year. Normally a hotly contested divisions, this year not as much.
Sport Ladder: This year we tried a new method to give players a bit more opportinuty to show what they could do. They were given TWO tries at each trick, scoring either 5 or 3 points. they were retired from the ladder if they had two zeros.
