That's a great idea. I will do that as soon as I: A) get to it, and B) find a camera to borrow. Ooo! That’s a great idea. I will do that as soon as I: A) get to it, and B) find a camera to borrow.

I have not been able to find any other information or videos on the internet. Mark, you should make a video to teach the ‘deadly’ overhand throw.

You're absolutely right, it really is best if it is at least a little sloped inward so that the tops actually fight instead of the battle just being a spinning endurance contest with all the tops spinning in their own areas. My plan for the UBTCotU is to use a plastic Saucer Sled so that we have enough space for 10 people to play at once, but still have a dished battleground. A sled might actually be too big, and I plan on doing a trial run at the Indiana State Yo-yo contest to work out details like that. The arena is usually a frisbee or a plate or something.

I remember when there was a toy called battle tops that the arena was slanted towards the center, forcing battles. That might be a god thing in the demolition top matches.
