Minnesota Armsports presents the 2nd annual Minnesota State Championships! This tournament will be at the Sauerkraut Days in Henderson, MN, same as last year, only this year instead of being at Hog Wild Saloon we will be on a stage under a tent in the middle of the festival, and we'll have a mic/sound system! Gary Roberts will also be there filming for Arm TV! Mark this one on your calendars!!!

Where: Henderson Sauerkraut Days Festival on Main Stage, Henderson, MN
Time: Weigh-ins 2:00pm-3:30pm. Tournament start at 4pm.
Entry Fee: $20/arm for pro classes, $15/arm for novice, $10/arm for additional novice classes or for all novice classes if also pulling pro.

Weight classes:
Men's Pro Right and Left: 0-154, 155-176, 177-198, 199-220, 221+
Men's Novice Right and Left: 0-176, 177-220, 221+
Women's Pro Right and Left: Open

Weight must be exact! Ex: Weighing in at 154.0 will put you in the 154 lbs. division. 154.1 and you'll be in the 176's (unless you lose the extra 0.1). There is no clothing allowance but you are allowed to strip down if needed.

Novice will be run before pro, after the novice classes are done we will move the table to the Main Stage for the Pro Classes!

100% Cash Payback for the top 3 in all Pro Classes as well as plaques for the top 3 in all Pro and Novice Classes!

Any questions, please call Josh Handeland at: 612-801-5612, email: joshthejedimaster@yahoo.com, post here or send me a PM

If you're not sure whether or not you're eligible for novice feel free to call or email me or send me a pm and ask!!!

This tournament will be run on a USAA armwrestling table. Chalk and risers will be provided. This tournament is double elimination and is free to watch!

Rules: All elbow fouls will be called, a false start is a warning and 2 warnings equals a foul. 2 fouls is a loss. If competitors can't get a grip in 1 minute they will be set in a ref's grip. Any movement in a ref's grip is a foul. Hand off the hand peg is a warning, if a competitor takes their hand off the peg and gains position (by pushing on the table leg ect.) it will be a foul. Shoulders will be squared before the go. Competitors can't touch their arm with their shoulder or any other part of their body. Your shoulders cannot go past the center of the table.

Slipping with your hands opened, twisting your hand away to slip, or pulling your fingers out of your opponents hand is an intentional slip and will be a foul. A foul or an intentional slip in a losing position is a loss. A clean slip is a strap no matter where your hands are on the table. Losing position is referee's discrimination but if your arm is close to the pad when you intentionally slip or foul it will be a loss - slipping of fouling at 10-2 o'clock is not a loss.

1 foot must stay on the ground, thumb knuckles must be visible before the go unless both competitors say they don't care about seeing the knuckles, wrists will be straight before the go.

If both competitors arms go straight down in the center of the table and the ref's aren't sure who's side of the table the hands are on when they drop below the pin line, whoever's arm/hand is on top will be declared the winner.

We will go over the rules before the start of the tournament, they're pretty basic rules.

Any questions please post here, send me a pm, email me: joshthejedimaster@yahoo.com or call me: 612-801-5612

Hope everyone can make it!

This looks like it's gonna be a good one, a lot bigger than last years!!! The South Dakota are saying they are going to take him several titles, but I think MN will have something to say about that! I also have guys confirmed from North Dakota and Iowa. Also, if anyone wants to have a supermatch at this tournament let me know who you want to pull, at what weight and for how much $ and I'll try to set it up.

Josh, Maybe Yosef and myself could have a supermatch, say best of 5? After all every time I see him he is getting better and I'm just getting older. He can gain a couple extra poiund's if he want's and I'll try and loose an ounce or two
