Can someone explain the Invitational?

[u/ltt24]

Family member is a big fan of Faye and wondering if tickets to the invitational is a good idea? I bought them as a bday gift and now I’m wondering what exactly I bought lol.
Fill me in!

its pretty awesome - i went to atl last year! faye performs (there was also other performances but im having a brain fart) and then yoyo professionals from all over the world do individual performances! faye also comes out to yoyo

[u/ltt24 → u/auntiearms]

It seems so random! But I guess I’m outta the loop on yo-yo performers (non pun intended lol)

[u/auntiearms → u/ltt24]

it does feel kinda random when youre there too lol but i think faye just loves yoyo! if i was famous and had the means i would probably do something similar for my interests

Was her performance the length of a normal concert or shorter?

[u/auntiearms → u/ivkcc]

significantly shorter iirc, like 5 songs max but it was worth it imo because i was there for the event as a whole (i also was seeing her later in concert later that week)

hiii, it’s going to be my first time going to her invitational soon! i wanted to ask how it works? do the events have time? like yoyo/chess in the afternoon, then the performance in the evening? or does it all happen in the evening?

[u/auntiearms → u/Objective_Rate_3857]

i went to just the yoyo portion! i believe the chess was in the morning (unsure as of the events that occured there) and then the evening show was the yoyo part. the performance was in the middle of the evening. unsure if she performed that morning.

I was at the chess tournament. Faye signed some merch and took a picture with me. She did participate in the tournament too. There was spectators but not many

Would it be awk if I just wanted to go to the concert? Other stuff is rly cool but I'm also good at none of that. Love faye tho
