Blue Chip in Michigan City

[Alan Berget]

Great tournament! 114 entries and very tough competition in all weight classes. Lots of fun, everyone pulled great and all went well. Glad to have seen guys come from so far away. Nice to have met Josh Handlehand and Yosef in person rather than just communicating on the internet. I'm sure Steve will post full results within a few days. Great tournament!

I want to thank every one that came to this event. The casino was happy with the event and is looking to do something in the fall. The casino expressed how every one was very pleasent and how much sportsmanship was involved with the sport. We had 114 arms with lots of new pullers. We had pullers from MI, In, Il, WI, Oh, MO, MN. I want to thank ALan, His wife Amy and Bull for the help. With out their help this event would have not ran as well as it did.

Al,
You must have been typing this while I was putting stuff together. Once agin great event and thanks to all that came.

[Joshua Ehlich]

Awesome tournament guys! Steve, the venue was great, and lots of good competition. Glad to see you did well in the finals Al, sorry I had to skate out early!

[Steve Pettis]

Look for sportvid.tv to see some great matches in coming days. Also I think some footage may make it to Arm tv. Not to sure others may know more about that.

[Steve Pettis]

If anyone has some pictures from the event that you can send me please do as the casino would like a couple for their web site. send them to [e-mail]

[Josh Handeland]

It was great to meet you too, Al, also great to meet Marvin Berry and Tom Wilson. Joshua, I am looking forward to having a rematch with you. Great tournament Steve. This tournament will make Armtv.

btw Al it's Handeland

[Corey Sanborn]

Josh H. it was nice meeting you in person and being able to talk to you for a while. It will be even beter after you get to use my name in the rankings. Hope to see you again in the future.

[Corey Sanborn]

Steve great tourny I had a blast. Can't wait for the next one.

[Alan Berget]

Sorry Josh.

[Robert Bishop]

i think the most interesting match of the day was the first match between Cobra and Steve Rau

Cobra had him in good postion but Steve was able to fight through with the win after a long match
It looked to me that after that match Steve was spent and Cobra was able to come back and take the class

[Josh Handeland]

Don't worry about it Al, I don't really care.

and yes, it was good to meet you too Corey, you looked strong, expecially your left arm.

nice to meet Jon Vogt and Evan B too, I think I forgot to mention them before.
