In 2009, Stu Branoff and David Capurro turned the contest over to Chris Allen, who also runs YoYoSkills.com. Chris delayed the contest until March 2010, to ensure the contest fed into the Bay Area Classic, which is the Central Pacific Regional Contest. The 2010 California State Yo-Yo Championships were held on March 6th, and boasted a $1000 case prize for first place in both the 1A and Open divisions. It was held in Sacramento, California at the Westfield Downtown Plaza and had over 200 contestants and 4000 attendees.
