On October 23, 2010 I will be hosting a round robin of some of the top names in the women's 143lbs class. This will be contested with both right and left arms. There may also be a possibility of a double round robin depending on how many ladies I can confirm. That will mean that each competitor will have to pull each competitor twice if it is a double round robin.
I have asked 8 women to participate. Two of them have declined due to personal reasons and six have said by contact with me that they were very interested. The three that have confirmed are as of now.
Heidi Andersson
Sarah Backman
Barb Schlegel (Zalepa)
As I have confirmation I will keep adding the names. I would like to say that I am honored that these ladies will compete at my event.

I have made arrangements with Scott from Armsport Videos to be at the tournament. He will be streaming live, filming and doing interviews as well. I want as many people to see this event as possible.

Margie Ciaccio has become the 6th competitor to confirm her participation in the round robin. Sandra Rødland has confirmed that she will participate making it 7. Sandra may have a prior commitment that may have make her have to pull out but until then she is in.
I am so pumped. This is going to be awesome.
