one idea coming to my mind is: the whole purpose of hook match is about stopping unfair advantage to fast toprollers. imo
1.match must be started without forcing to straight the wrist. if a good hook player is allowed to keep his wrist as he wishes half of his problems will be over.
2.now we should prevent the crazy George style outside move .it may be accomplished by a rule which calls foul/warning on anybody making his arm[ humerus bone ] parralel to horizontal plane. 3. intentional wrist flopping has to be called foul if player is keeping his wrist flopped when he is in the winning side [so no one can attack with flopped wrist].
4. the charm of armwrestling may be maintained by allowing outside or inside movement once ''go'' is said...just my thoughts.
in short 1.wrist bend allowed at set up 2. avoid crazy George style by foul/warning call 3. avoid attacking Jerry style wrist flopps by warning/foul calls.

The Hook tournament rules have been decided.
All shoulders will start square. Competitors will get their own grip and then the ref will turn the wrists in to ensure a fair and equal start. All roll outs and/or dumpped wrists will recieve a foul. You must start and finidh each match in a hook.
Hope to see everyone in June ;D
