So is this not a typical "tournament" with weight classes, pre-arranged challenge matches only.
Also, Keith are you using the old-school sit down tables.
It's been over 3 years since I've been to and event like that in Columbus, OH.

It's been over 3 years since I've been to and event like that in Columbus, OH. Yes challenge matches only. The best I can understand is that the Expo coordinator wanted to host an armwrestling event. But when Randy found out about the Expo there wasn't enough time to orginize it. Also NC State/ Get A Grip is that weekend and he did not want to interfere with that tournament. So he's just doing exhibition matches on Sunday. From the way he talked there is plans to host a full tournament at next years Expo. The sit down tables will be AAA sanction. |

I am definitely coming but if I pull the day before at Get A Grip then I might be out of the challenge match. The Florida guys are talking alot of trash so I might have to man up and see what there all about.
I will let you guys know soon. I will at least help out with everything just in case.

I'm in. Did not want to challenge anyone, but, they needed a match and me and Randy it is....I just wanted to go and support Randy and Steve. Sit down should be interesting....but if its armwrestling i'm there.
....any chance the Corn hole event draws more spectators at the strength/sports expo than armwrestling? I'm betting it does....sad to say....f*cling corn hole....jeeez.
