[Brian Malek]

super event looking forward to next years, also the refs did a very good job thanks to everyone that helped out in this event.

[Jeremy Durfee]

It was nice to meet you also Glen! It's always great to see everyone and see the level of sportsmanship at the table! its great when you can look up to the staging table and see the competitors laughing and joking a bit with each other.. It was a pleasure to meet Bart Wood and see Storm after a few years.. The venue was awesome, I look forward to it next year again!
Very well run tournament !!!!!

[Bart Wood]

Same here Jeremy and great pulling.It was a fun event and it is nice when competitors are having a good time.

[Paul Fisher]

Great event, had an awesome time and got to watch some of the top pullers around looking forward to the event next year. Refs did a great job and made the event go smooth.

[Giles Russell]

No worries, Anthony.

I just want you to pay attention on your part of my post. It is with symbols saying that it is a joke. Well, sometimes written comments do not express reality like verbal speech.

Good luck, Snook!

Thanks Giles.

Good luck to you! I expect I'll see you at the Arnolds. Safe travels..

[STEVE PHIPPS]

Badger, congrats on your wins!

[Josh Handeland]

Great tournament, wish I could have won lefty but Kris was the better man for sure, he felt strong. I agree with Vazgen, the venue was perfect. It was nice to meet Tyler White, Quinn Steed, Chad Richards, Tony and Jim Patteron, Chris Nittolli, and several others that I hadn't met before. Nice to see and hang out with Tim Lewis, Vazgen, Scott Wynn, Storm, and the Harris bro's again. Nice to see Marcio back in the mix. Underwood looked great, and Vazgen seems to be in World's shape (right handed ). Mikels felt strong and it was an honor to pull Mr. Devio. Can't wait for next year!

[Vazgen Soghoyan]

Josh, if type one more time in this thread, I'll recognize you as a " Typing Armwrestler" and then you have to pull in "online" division only))))))

Snook. You'll still get your gift as I win Triple Crown. Klemba too. You guys earned couple of hundreds of $$$$ more for Me , Dave and Storm at USAA))))
I talked too much today here. One more post and I'll join myself to Josh in "online" division. No thanks. I prefer to pull with "very good amateur" Tim.))))))

[Anthony Snook]

Sounds good! Maybe less typing on your end so I can get that gift?
