I am in the works right now with a few promoters in Southern Oregon who contacted me last week about putting on a tournament at Shenanigans Irish bar and grill. This is a great outdoor/indoor venue that holds large concerts and events frequently. The owner is a fan of amrwrestling and really wants a big event at his venue, his sponsors are willing to put up 5k in cash prizes and sponsorship money. I am dedicated to putting up entry fees into the prize money as well. I just spoke with the local channel 5 news sports anchor about broadcasting this on the local sports channel live as well and he sounds very interested. More info to follow: I will need to have to have referrees (mr. collins please call me!) i will be MC'ing this event, right now im ironing out all the info and hope to get more info soon. I want to do a pro format 0-165, 166-198, 199-242, and 243 + with a cap of 8 pullers (top level pullers) with a payout around 500,400,300,150 for the 4 classes. Round robin style event! This way its not drug on over the 2 hour tv limit i am working with. The non tv event will include a novice/open event after the main event. This means the event will need at least 2 tables and 4 refs to make this go smooth and keep within our television time limit. This could be huge for AW and im very excited about this... More info to come!

Hey Kelli, I don't think Sophie will make it. It's the same day as Oklahoma State.

Looks good Brandon! I want in on this if you can make it happen. 198 or 242, will have to work to get to 198, but i think i can still get there.
