*please note that for the 2024 NYYL contest season anyone can compete at PRELIMS at the National Yoyo Contest. Because of this UYYC will not be seeding to Nationals. However please keep in mind that UYYC will be judged with the same parameters set by the National Yoyo Contest. That being said if this is your last contest before Nationals its a great chance to get your routine perfect and pick up prizes, award medals, a state title, and national recognition!
AWARD MEDALS The 2024 UYYC contest will have custom made medallions with the UYYC logo and presented as a sponsorship of the National Yoyo League. Since 2016 UYYC has historically been ranking the highest placing residents of Kansas and Missouri; competitors can expect to win a total of 16 award medals.
