Simon ,

Could you please confirm which airport to fly into.

Sao Paulo, Brazil (CGH-Congonhas - Sao Paulo Intl.)
Sao Paulo, Brazil (GRU-Guarulhos - Governor Andre Franco Montoro Intl.)

[Mike West]

Do you have a room rate yet, just trying to figure out what the cost is going to be.

[Kyle(Mad Hatter)Knapp]

I heard Geoff and Ethan aren't going. Is this true? If so I would love the honor to go. Let me know.

["VENGEANCE" -David Rivera-]

I'm a Knapp fan, i hope you get to go bro, good luck boss!

[Sammie Hattabaugh Jr]

I know that I'm going. I'm just trying to figure out the cost. I hope we are all staying at the same hotel? And how much it cost per day? The flights are still spendy. And the hours on the flights are all different depending on the layovers and how many stops. Anywhere from 14 hrs to 30 hrs.

[Gabriela Vasconcelos]

Hi everyone, I'm back at this board also to try to help you with some info on the Worlds.

The airport is GRU - Guarulhos

Pay attention to the dates, they have changed... everything will start a day later... so arrival dates will be 10th and 11h and so on!

We have managed to find a big and nice hotel to accommodate everyone! All countries in one hotel. We are just finishing some negociation and the reservation will be available for the teams as we finish it.

Based on the questions, thats what I can say for now. Hope it helped! Cant wait to have you all here!

You have to qualify at the Unified Nationals to be on Team USA, it was in May in Reno.

Thats about an hour and 10 from me and i might be in cali that week but not sure. How do yall run these tournaments? Do i just show up and armwrestle? How this all work

[Jonathan Skinner]

You show up and weigh in, they'll put your name in the bracket for your weight class or any above it that you wanna enter(fee for each entry). Then just wait to hear your name, watch the matches, talk with some pros if you can. B/c you may not Have lost, but once you get there you'll realize that there is a lvl of Armwrestling you never knew.

Probably 95%, at least, of the ppl you'll met will be class acts and you'll love the community. Just don't let a few jerks run ya off. I hope youre able to make it in August, it's a guarantee that you'll enjoy yourself if Armwrestling has ever interested you.

[Kyle(Mad Hatter)Knapp]

Have you heard anything yet Simon? Let me know asap!

[Simon Berriochoa]
