WJF 6 Rates Going Up May 1st
The best deals are gone but the convention rate is still unbelievably low. Only $150.00 and the hotel rate remains $49/night. Plus NO MEMBERSHIP FEE! This makes it possible to have an extremely affordable juggling vacation. But the rates are going up on May 1st, so be sure to buy your convention packages before the increase to get the current rate. You can either pay online or by sending in a check. All WJF 6 registration information is available on this page:
WJF 6 REGISTRATION
You get an incredible line up of shows, competitions, workshops, the debut of the Long Program and Major League Combat, practice space and it's Las Vegas! Check out all the WJF 6 pages and read up on everything we're offering this year. If you like juggling for any reason, this is a juggling event unlike any other that you will remember forever. The skill level is so high yet there are also plenty of beginners. Everyone is so friendly and encouraging that when you attend a WJF event, you become part of a special club outside of society. A group of people who all understand what we all go through as jugglers dealing with people on a daily basis who just don't understand. Attending the convention bonds you together with everyone else attending for this reason. We can forget about having to deal with the outside world, and spend as much time as we want focusing on our juggling interests without worrying about being kicked out of the racquetball court :)
The full schedule is now online along with complete show descriptions of all six shows:

So please join in and let's show the world just how many of us there are so they know what they're messing with!

| Juniors Sponsorship Competition Entry Deadline May 1st
This is your chance to use your skills to earn a free trip to WJF 6. Send in a two minute video of a juniors routine demonstrating the compulsory skill requirements as specified in the Juniors competition rules:
JUNIORS COMPETITION RULES
The actual competition gives the competitors four minutes, but for the video you should be able to squeeze it all within two minutes. If you perform perfectly, you shouldn't need more than two minutes in the actual competition as well. So read up on the rules, and get your videos sent in by May 1st.

Major League Combat is Here!
After almost a year of development, Major League Combat has finally arrived. Combat has been given a major facelift and formatted into new games such as "Zombie Combat™, Sumo Combat™, Kill the King™, and 360s Combat™". We've held trial competitions at the Juggle This and RIT festivals with very positive results. You can check out video from these events and get more information on the rules on the Major League Combat website, facebook and youtube channels:

There are currently four sponsorship opportunities for combat teams who wish to compete at WJF 6. Form your team of 5 players and upload a video demonstrating your most impressive combat skills in these new game formats. Everyone can enter! Just put your team together, and email your team member names to combat@mlcpro.com. Prize money* is currently at:
1st Place: $500.00
2nd Place: $300.00
3rd Place: $150.00
* Prize money is awarded per team. |
ALL WJF 6 Competitors (Short Program, Long Program, Juniors, Intermediates and Beginners)
Deadline for registering for the hotel and convention, submitting your routine form and music license is May 21st! Not one second later so please get your registration and submissions in early and resist the urge to participate in the Procrastinators' Special (waiting until the last minute)! |
And On A More Personal Note
Every time someone registers for the convention, I get a little more energized and make the convention that much better. The more people who attend, the more battery power I have! And the less I have to worry about meeting hotel quotas and the more I can focus on the event production without restrictions. Watching videos like Pavel's really inspires me so MAKE VIDEOS and upload them to Youtube! Show me what you're working on and tell me why you're excited about going to WJF 6! Tell me how many people you have so far in your group. Give me updates too! We've only got a little over two months left. I want everyone to start showing how excited they are about WJF 6 through their videos. I'll keep making update videos until I run out of time. Let's all work together to show the world what we're up to. And please help me make this a great event by encouraging others to come, and please get the hotel and convention package so the hotel leaves me alone after the event!
