    I'm on the same boat as @Steezdiaz ; definitely want to know about sponsoring. It would be awesome to burn some damas for prizes.

    I saw a section on the MKO site for volunteering during the event. What sort of work would volunteers be doing then?

    Also, is there a way to refund in order to compete at a higher level?

    It could be anything from helping us set up, checking players in, holding score cards, or teaching kendama. It all depends on our needs of the day.

    From the intermediate ladder, base cup, ken flip, base, down: does the ken flip have to be flipped exactly like in the vid or can it be flipped the other direction?

    I am going to MKO for my first kendama comp, and I am competing in the intermediate bracket. I am scared that I am going to get out very early. What can someone do at MKO if this were to happen?

    I’d like to know too @CodyGriz
    Just watched the trick vid for intermediate and realized I’m flipping the ken the other way for the base cup kenflip trick.

    As long as the ken does a full flip, it can happen in any direction.
