This summer is a little different than most, so we are doing our best to adapt and advance! Since we can't get together for our normal summer kendama jams and competitions, we are putting our energy into our Sweets Kendamas Online events. 
These are virtual kendama competitions players from around the world can attend or compete in

We started off hosting two Pro Invitational competitions in May, with Nick Gallagher taking down the first comp and Jacob Trebil winning the second. 

Then in June we opened the SKO events to the public with our first Summer Series competition!
It was a great success, and we had a bunch of players compete for cash and prizes all from their own homes. 

This brings us to July, and we are hosting the Summer Series 2!

We are hoping this event is our largest yet, so that means it is time for you to sign up to compete!

Taking place Saturday July 25th you can register to compete HERE

  

OPEN STYLE COMP

The Summer Series is an OPEN style competition, meaning that players will ge going head-to head against each other to determine a winner
