Jacob Gross over at GSquared YoYos has decided to try something different with his drops this week. It’s called a G2 Yo-Yo Draft, and we’ve laid out the details for you below.

Summary

On Friday, September 21, 2018, at 7:00pm CDT, draft tickets will go on-sale on the g2 store. The price is not definite yet, but it’ll likely land around $125.00. The order in which people buy the tickets does not matter, but supply is limited (21).

Those who purchase a ticket will need to tune into a G2 Livestream, which will happen on both Facebook and Instagram, on Sunday, September 23, 2018, at 7:00pm CDT. Participants (those who purchased tickets) will be put into a random order and then, in said order, will choose which G2 yo-yo they wish to receive from the pool below. See? It’s just like a draft! Well, except that the participants will end up with a yo-yo rather than a multi-million dollar contract and eventual injury.

It is important to only purchase a ticket on Friday if you can attend the livestream on Sunday. If you are not present at the event on Sunday, you will forfeit your ability to choose, and you will end up with whatever is left at the end.

Although the red text above was meant to be prominent and scary, one should keep in mind that we are talking about G2 yo-yos here, so even the “leftovers” are guaranteed to be pretty darn good.
