Ummmmm, excuse me...................cough cough cough............... Where the heck are any classes for WOMEN? ? With this type of event and with the current LACK of women participation, and this being the first of it's kind, we decided to keep it simple and direct it more towards the larger demographic currently in the sport.

Looks very cool...and it's only about 3 hours from home for me.
Is it possible for someone to pull BOTH the straps & hook tournament...or will they be going on at the same time?

Any clothing allowance? I am smack dab in the middle of 180 and 205, and it is a crappy place to be. I would be very interested in doing the hook tournament considering this is only about 4 hours from me

I weighed 218 today, so I have to decide if I want to shoot for 230, or slim down to 205..... Congrats to you guys for putting together a big event!

I like the idea of the hook tournament. I think there are several nearby IN residents that would be the favorites in their classes. Brad Spine in the 155 and Scott Ballinger in the 180 or 205 whichever he chose to pull in. Mike West is right there with Scott as well.

Tha't too bad Russ and I WOULD have been there I'm sorry to hear that Brandy. It would have been nice to see you and Russ out in Indiana supporting this. Don't you worry tho, if this takes off, believe me there will be something for women on the next go round. ;D

Well Pete, should I dog you like you do me & UAL, NOT.....I have a bit more class than that but I will say, it's nice to see you think outside the box and bring something new to the sport....and I hope this event works out well for the group (seriously)!
I noticed no prize money, the support from the east is killer (nice) and if I ever put on a hook or strap event, I'll give make sure that your name is mentioned..it's about time I see something positive from you...and good job to NAA, NAL & Top Roll.....
