If we ARMWRESTLERS MAKE promotors add 5 dollars to our entry fees to go into a account so we can be in the Olympics....I'd say in two years WE will have the money...no need for out side help....WE CAN MAKE THIS WORK....but mind you the current champs won't be there....LMFAO!!!!...they did steroids for a 500 dollar check now can't pull in the Olympics....LMFAO!!!!! Sure they can, they only have to test clean not be clean all the time, if you think olympic atheletes are all clean you are smoking something Sent from my DROID2 using ProBoards |

We need an organized council, or board of directors to which all tournaments are held accountable to certain expectations. We lack accountability, leadership and consistency. Until something changes, we'll always be able hold and promote tournaments without being held accountable for investing in the sport we love. At this point, I'm unaware of any financial accountability. How can we start? Maybe state dues, driven by memberships, tournaments, etc? Or, a minimum financial expectation per tourney? I think a board of directors would be a good start...maybe divide the nation in 6 regions and vote on a director for each....
