i'd like some pro opinions on this due i may have some serious $$$$ to put on this format fairly soon.
LIGHT / MIDDLE / HEAVY
THANK YOU IN ADVANCE.

Tk, I think that it would be best for 4 classes.
0-176
177-198
199-231
232-plus

i agree with stump but if u do 3 more like 0-165 166-210 210+ simple bc atleast half the guys i pull walk around at 155-165 thats fully dressed. if you have 3 class its only fair to put 40 to 50 lbs between the classes i mean your going from 0 to 165 and 210 + JMO

I think it depends on where you're running the tourney - and what the majority of pullers weigh in that area. For example, if I were to run 185, 220, 221+ in MN, 185's would be over half the tourney. It'd be stacked. 220's would be ok, supers wouldn't have many entries. In Florida, that might be different.
In MN, if running 3 classes, 165, 198, 199+ or maybe 176, 198, 199+ would be ideal.
205 instead of 198 would work, too.

Too much weight ??
He did ask for 3 classes
IMO 165 and under is LIGHT... If you are too big to suck down to that class then you are probably close to 180... Which is a middle weight in my mind.... Sure you will get 210 or 215 guys sucking down... But that's the way it goes... Still a middle weight
If you can't make 205.... Just like fighting .... You are a heavyweight.
An in shape 220 can compete all day long in open classes....many of the best pullers ever and of today could easily win an open class and make 220

Cater to people because they will be 10 lbs lighter..... That is such bullish;t There needs to be a standard, one everyone plays by..... Not by who wants what and what will make guys you know happy... That make AW seem wushu washy. Make set classes and make everyone adapt. I'm sure there have been fighters that could be world champs because they are stuck in the middle of a class....that's the way it is.... Why try to customize it. How come you guys dont get if that every change you make might help one group and screw another ? In a 205 class... It cuts me out.... A 231 class is mint because it let's me get as big as I want and weigh in on the high end of the class..... But then the 205 guy who was big before now sits at the bottom... Now he cries.... It will never make people happy We should follow UFC classes.. It works for them.... Make it the standard and either get real big or real lean.... Everyone can weigh at the top end of a class if properly trained.... You know like athletes..... Like we want to be considered |

I'm looking to create a legit light middle and heavy weight class.... And have folks compete from anywhere in the world... I appreciate the input from everyone. TK |
