Hello Aw-Friends 
,
There is a good/interesting thread going on right now--->www.northeastboard.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=23882and there are a lot of good thoughts to read there.Because the thread is very specific between 2 variation of tournament-layouts and the points i like to share and chat here are in general & many-sided and not only about those points. i decided to make this thread here about the key-points at all that we need to success for our sport.another thing that brought me to making this was the points of our market discussions & the lately Olympic discussion that leaded into some suffering of some of us that will be connected to all of us sooner or later..you can read it here--->www.northeastboard.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=23719
...even so we realize it or not...care or not..it happens and is important.But one after the others...step by step....thanks for understanding and patient.
If you don´t want to join in to this i understand..if you do, then please do it positive...thanks
So this is for the promoters & the Athletes & organizers & all the fans in general! to share good thoughts about the key points to success in general & for our beloved sport of Armwrestling
------------------------------------
To start with i like to mention the biggest Key-Word in this context for me and that is:
----------------> FUN <-----------------
some of you could say now....its logical and you had see it a lot in my posts too and sometimes probably i over do it without realizing that not everyone shares the same fun with me...Idk but I know...but let me start somewhere for now...ty
Okay...With regard to the other current interesting thread i want to add first in that context for example that it is always possible to draw big attention even with a single round robin that just makes a lot of fun
you can do that,with the right person if there is a right concept & understanding behind it.
I have a current example for this: see....because Devon larratt will be here as our Guest this weekend...and people asked to do something good last year...i am honored to organize now a so called "King of the "German" table"
for his German fans & Aw-friends here...
Round Robin Style....very simple...but big fun for all guaranteed.
Sometimes you just have to do the things other needs/want you to do...
We all should understand that fun is more important then anything else in this context, that means if we really are heading to give a sample size of our sport to the sport market and so on & really want it to grow.then Fun is one of the essential ingredient
why fun first & not money??
Cause we all started with fun...the rivalry & the achievement and other part of the game & the money invested into it (i don´t mean earning) all came later....remember that.
Back to my example: So what happens now in the last days over here is that Aws from other parts of Germany start to take a trip (miles) 
to Berlin just to be part of this.Things that normally would happen for a bigger German Championship and similar in a tournament format now happens here for the round robin format with the Champ also...point clear.
Sometimes it is not needed to make things to complicated...easy & fun is needed in the same package/repertoire of a wanted growing sport as big cash & big circle of expertize is needed too.
Each of them used with a good timing can make things coming in to the right direction (growing the sport positive)........But 2 things are always involved beside of others or should be involved better said:
1-that is the funfactor &
2-the correct analystic of the right key market but with regard of different situations
I know my example with D.L was a very special example and we are talking here about the Nr.1 ranked and its easy to do once understood how....but sometimes you have to just do the fun thing........the rest will always follow as a result not viceversa......this is something logical that a lot of us (Athletes & organizers) forget too easy and too often because of things like...success pressure or rivalries or habits or money or whatever............
Okay...the Weekend is coming and we all here are looking excited & honored to the so called. a simple & old school round robin with 1 Big Champion.
I will give you info about the outcome of that one.
One last thing in that context before i go my Aw-friends:
We already often talked about having a difficult market for armwrestling & it is correct to a certain degree when it comes to products around it but remember Nike as multi-billion industry was not only successful because of the products itself & the connected sports...it was also the image delivered in simple text/slogan that every single person with or without sport background can/could feel & understand immediately. what was/is it again?? "Just do it"...why?? because just do it includes and expresses deep within the needs of "having fun"
Armwrestling starts with fun for at least the majority of athletes before they became athletes of it for a while...right??
Have a nice weekend everybody & stay healthy....will be back soon.
