154 Hellraiser
176 Miller/Cobra (no order) Ballinger
198 Storm/Maiden (no order) 1-2. I give slight edge to Maiden. I think Logsden is hurt so I don't think he will be a factor. Ballinger should round out top 3.
Supers Chaffee, Lupkes, Underwood, Chandler (in order)
As always at this event, it could come down to reffing, draws. It should be interesting.

It's tough to say in the heavies... Don did beat Dave first match at travis' event... And has proven to have his number more often than not. On the other hand I don't think don ever beat rich. Rich and Dave... Maybe Dave ... Depends on what shape Dave rolls in at. I don't think Chris can beat any of them... Maybe under circumstances, but if all is equal I take any of them over him. I think the surprise could be Eric guevin... He is tall long and powerful. If he is trained up he has the experience , power and tools to bust Chris ... And potentially anyone on this list.
On paper... Rich, don are my faves for first depending on draws... Then Chaffee... Then Eric .
And what John Milne said for the rest...

Rob i never lost to Don at Travis event. You must have been too busy breakdancing on the floor by then to notice. Don did beat me in connecticut over the summer when i was pulling four classes. Lookin forward to pulling Richard Lupkes. Should be a good one.

Cobra, snook, and miller top 3 76s depending on who pulls who 54 Geoff, vaz, and Jamie or Chris those being top 2 .98s storm or scott are my picks since bill broke his hand and I don't know a lot of the guys, heavys Richard or Don for 1 and 2 dave or Chris.

54s Jamie Sheldon, Geoff Hale, Vazgen in order, my upset! Do it Jamie!
76s Miller, Snook, Cobra, talbot but this is a toss up in my opinion.
98s Maiden, Storm, Scott B, Dan Whittle.......i feel this is the top 4 but depending on draw I think at least one of them might miss it
Supers Chaffee, Don Underwood, Lupkes, Chandler

Lookin forward to pulling Richard Lupkes. Should be a good one. Haha... I stand corrected.... I was pretty sh!tty by then I thought he snuck one in and didn't know the situation at nats... Thanks for the insight. I think straight up against any of em you win, but after your arm blows up don is a nightmare draw when the lactic acid is flowing and reactions are slowed. Best of luck there tho, you looked very solid there... From what I can recall

Chaffee vs Lupkes is a match I've been wanting to see for some time. Both are offensive pullers and both like to control the center of the table. I'm not sure who is stronger, there is only one way to find out.

I totally agree with you on that Rob, the draw will be key on who wins this. Especially at the arnold with only a short amount of time to finish 5 classes. Not much break in between matches. John i think Rich and i will have a war if we pull. It Could go either way.

Is Guevin going to this or to Maine States? I believe their the same day.
My picks (in order)
154: Hale/Vazgen/Sheldon/Sam Harris
176: Corey/Snook/Cobra/Carlos
198: Storm/Whittle/Maiden/Ballinger
199+: Lupkes/Chaffee/Underwood/Chandler
Ladies: Oppenheimer/Maher/Malek/Fuller not really sure for Ladies though except I definitely pick Sophie to win it. Haven't seen any of the other ladies pull common opponents even, to my knowledge

For 154's everyone is over looking Ji-Seung Hong. I expect him in the top 4 along with Hale, Vazgen and Sheldon in no order.
76's: A tough class but top 3 in no order IMO Miller, Rhodes and Talbot. 4th is a tough one to decide on.
Not much insight for the bigger guys. Looking fwd to seeing these matches!
