For the second consecutive year, SkillCon will be the venue for the US Open Footbag Net Championships. The 2018 US Open will showcase America's top athletes (and select elite athletes from Europe and Asia) competing in Footbag Net's three premier events (i.e., Singles, Doubles and Mixed).
Footbag net is considered by many to be the world's most difficult foot-only court sport. Combining the basic kicks of "Hacky Sack," the aerial kicking techniques of martial arts, and the strategy of volleyball, competitors use only their feet to kick a small 32-panel ball over a 5-foot high net within the confines of a badminton court.
Check out the action, buy a net footbag, learn the basics, and get some tips from America's top athletes on December 14th (Friday- Prelims Day) and 16th (Sunday- Finals Day) at SkillCon!
Lastly, if you're interested in participating in some 1-on-1 or small group instruction to learn the basics, contact event organizer Jeremy Mirken and ask about a beginner clinic on Saturday the 15th. Thanks, and see you at SkillCon!
The AAU will be holding natural bodybuilding, powerlifting and weightlifting events at SkillCon.

Introduction:
The 2018 US Freestyle Footbag Championships are proud to once again be a part of the Moxie Games SkillCon Convention for the second year in a row. This December at the Rio Hotel and Casino, see the nations best freestyle footbag players perform tricks with gravity defying and breakneck supersonic speed that is so fast pace, you may think your cranial optic nerves have been boondoggled! Spectators will be dazzled at USA’s premier freestyle footbag competition, and newcomers are welcome to come and enjoy this fun and athletic sport.
History:
Since John Stalberger and Mike Marshall invented footbag in Portland, Oregon in 1972, freestyle footbag has grown into a very technical, artistic, and competitive discipline with hundreds of different tricks. Frequently referred to as Hacky Sack (registered trademark for Wham-O’s manufactured product), footbag has been a competitive sport at festivals and tournaments throughout the world every year.
General footbag information for newcomers:
In normal freestyle footbag, also known as “shredding,” players attempt to perform as many tricks in a row displaying variety and execution in their strings. A point system was developed to measure difficulty called the “add” system (or additional degree of difficulty) that includes elements from different categories:
There are several great websites available for people to learn more about footbag.
-Clubs, events, and additional information: www.footbag.org
-Videos demonstrating basic tricks: http://modified.in/footbag/moveslist/
Description of competition:
Routine Event:
This event demonstrates a single player’s ability to perform freestyle footbag in an artistic and technical manner choreographed to a song, in-under two minutes. The competitor attempts to please the audience with technical execution in concert with the music while impressing judges through presentation, difficulty, variety, and execution. This form of competition also measures a player’s stamina and creativity as they try to go through their whole routine without dropping the footbag once.
Circle Event:
Four players take turns attempting to perform as many tricks and combos in a string as they can without dropping. Once a player drops, their turn is over and they must pass to the next player unless judges and players agree that the drop occurred too early and in this case, the player may receive one retry (or pass back) per turn. The footbag will travel around the circle so each player receives a turn, three turns for each competitor, per round. There are two rounds with a brief intermission in-between. Each round is judged differently, one round for variety and one for density. Variety is measured by a player’s range of tricks and combos while density displays their technical ability to hit difficult combinations of tricks. This is one of the newest and exciting forms of freestyle footbag there is and this thrilling competition should not be missed by anybody in the universe!

THE SIN CITY MEMORY GAMES
SAT DEC 16th @ SKILLCON - RIO Hotel, Las Vegas
Sponsored by BrainHackers.com and hosted by a mystery celebrity as part of an ESPN Multi-sport: SkillCon, The Sin City Memory Game is a fun and educational memory sport that challenges experienced players with head-to-head competition and also teaches new participants how to unleash their natural photographic memory.
Learn the secrets of memory and compete for prizes in this exciting and challenging brain game!
On Dec. 16th, students, professionals, memory amateurs, and memory record holders from all over the world will come together in Las Vegas for the Sin City Memory Game at SkillCon.
This Game is participant-friendly as it includes full training in the art of memorization for new players with support materials, so everyone can feel what it’s like to achieve a superhuman memory.
This event is OPEN to the public! Registration includes the SkillCon pass that gives you access to over 25 other events like juggling, dodgeball, STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Math) education, and more!
Before each round, there will be a mini-seminar/workshop on memory techniques for that specific game. 2x Guinness Record Holder for Greatest Memory, Dave Farrow, will show participants how to get 3x the average score on memory tests, memorize a deck of playing cards, and easily recall numbers, names, and faces.
Practice your new skills and challenge yourself to a friendly and fun competition among peers! Farrow Memory Tournaments pit competitors against each other in head-to-head matchups where perfection is the goal. Even one mistake can lose the match so it is exciting to participate in and fun to watch!
**Farrow Memory Tournaments is a registered and proprietary style of competition that is not found anywhere else. A McGill University study of the Farrow Memory Tournaments showed it increased tests scores and memory in students by 300%. For more information check out the official Farrow Memory Tournaments website.
This event is a precursor to the annual Pan American Memory Games in Florida and the annual US Memory Tournament held at eBay in San Jose.
::NOTE:: The organizers of this event are passionate about teaching memory to students and providing them with the essential tools. The event is run at cost and all profits will be put back into supporting memory clubs and games at local schools.
ABOUT DAVE FARROW, EVENT FACILITATOR:
Dave Farrow earned his second Guinness World Record for memory by recalling the exact order of 59 decks of shuffled playing cards.
He created 'The Farrow Method' to help combat his severe dyslexia and ADHD and this is now a certifiable memory system backed by a double-blind neuroscience study at McGill University. Dave has been a featured guest on Dr. Oz, Steve Harvey, The Today Show, Discovery Channel and many others. Most recently, he won the grand prize on episode 5 of the hit FOX TV show; SuperHuman.

In three little words lies the potential to profoundly change the way we approach a lifetime of learning. Imagine learning something—anything—empowered by the certainty that memory retention and recall was no longer a limitation, that it was no longer a factor in the equation.
Learn the 1000 most frequently used words in Italian over a weekend. Remember every new, important business contact you just made at a conference. Pick up a guitar and memorize chords and progressions in a shockingly brief amount of time. Know every one of your top 200 customers, their preferences and recent purchases. Recall every muscle, bone and metabolic pathway as a med student. Perfectly. Every time.
This is the purpose of the World Memory Tournament Federation: to democratize practical memory and empower lifelong learning.
One of the things that make Memory Tournaments so accessible is that the barrier to entry is essentially zero. Our community is founded on a culture of being inclusive and never exclusive. We celebrate individual achievement and at the same time grow together, uplifting the entire community. Diversity enriches our community, providing a vibrant ecosystem that further propels our members with ever-increasing opportunities to grow.
We are open to all skill levels from beginner to Memory Master. Anyone can join our community with absolutely zero experience and in mere minutes see immediate gains in proficiency and experience a sense of achievement. It is this personal journey of attaining mastery that builds confidence and fuels the drive to improve further. There is something special and deeply fulfilling when you watch someone experience memory techniques for the first time, when you see the glint in his eyes and the widening smile that slowly appears as he realizes he is doing something within minutes that he has spent a lifetime convincing himself he could not do.
We built Memory Tournaments so that any participant can compete on equal footing, regardless of his situation. Learning and success is not limited by funding, access to resources, language or location. A child in a grade school in South Africa can best a graduate with an Ivy League education. Two kids on a playground with a pencil and piece of paper can compete with players who train on the latest tablet devices. The power of the mind and the desire to maximize one’s potential is what makes our community special. This is the great equalizer. Our members excel based purely on merit, with unequivocal fairness, bound only by the investment they make in themselves.
Our community comes together around Memory Clubs. A Memory Club is simply a collection of people who have a desire to learn and improve their memory. It is a way for people to connect, to join others in a common endeavor, to support each other and grow together. There is no restrictive definition to what a Memory Club should be, how it should be organized or how it should be run. That is up to its members. It costs nothing to start a Memory Club and nothing to keep it running. All that is needed is the desire to learn. Two people constitute a Memory Club as much as a Memory Club whose members number in the hundreds and thousands. They can meet in person or practice online with members on the other side of the world. All that is needed is two committed individuals. In them resides the power to effect change.
We invite you to join our community, the World Memory Tournament Federation, to experience for yourself what happens when you unlock your potential. Join a Memory Club or start one of your own. Share in the joy of a lifetime of learning and of achieving things previously thought out of reach.

Working their way through pools of four players per circle, freestylers compete directly with their counterparts to execute the best combos which will lead them to finals. Each circle has two rounds, variety and density. Variety showcases a player’s range of tricks and combos while density displays their technical ability to hit difficult combos. Check out this thrilling competition where the country’s top players work to outdo one another to be crowned shredder supreme!
