Hey Robert,

when is the State Championships for the adults? If you know. Thanks.

[Robert Bishop]

Steve Pettis is the guy to ask on that

i hear he is talking of having it at the Blue Chip casino in november but i'm not sure

thats strange
Indian never has a state championship
and now the Mi state is in Indiana

thats still better than no state at all

[Josh Handeland]

that doesn't make sense... you can't have a state championships in another state it could be the Indiana States...

[Robert Bishop]

as long as Steve is putting on tournaments i will support him in whatever he desides because it is still better than nothing

maybe he can call it tri -state
or something better that he can think of

[Robert Bishop]

besides
it will bring in more pullers like yourself
and pullers from around the area who dont want to travel that far up into Mi

most the pullers up here live south of Grand Rapids anyway
or a few miles north of GR

I'm not sure about Sparta, but we will be in Michigan/ or tristate/ for sure!!!

[Jeremy Boyd]

Maybe fatty will show up to this one.

[Josh Handeland]

The chances of me coming to Blue Chips for tournament without a name would be as good as me coming for Michigan States, and explaning to people that I am going to Indiana, for the Michign State Championships... maybe I will do next year's Minnesota States in Wisconsin... just seems like it wouldn't make sense. I'm not saying you shouldn't support it, just don't see why one wouldn't make it Indiana States... when it's in Indiana ;D

[Bilevicius Rimvydas]

wow Jeremy ................

[Robert Bishop]

i hear John Creekmore will be back at this event after three years away in the army
it will be interesting to see if he still can pull

[Joshua Ehlich]

I had a great time at this tournament, much thanks to Matt Bourden for putting it on. Definitely wasn't my day right handed, I couldn't find my hit, but the wars left handed with Troy Stuhan were awesome he's a hell of a competitor. Shane Vasquez was very impressive left handed going undefeated and is a great sportsman, and congrats to Steve Pettis on pulling off some incredible wins. Overall it was a great tournament, no we just need to figure out when the State Championships are going to be!

[Shane Vasquez]

Good tournament,Bourden's do a great job! Josh you got a awesome top roll! You had some wars that day!
Good seeing everyone,Rod Sellers,Robert Bishop,Steve Pettis,Scott White
hope to make it back next year!
