It blows my mind the pullers that live in driving distance of a event with huge payout and they stay home. All the money has been given out and nobody has been shorted. If AAA or USAA was involved there would have been over 200 there. Bad info, poor organization, bad reputation and poor timing is your answer. Their first two events have been on top of National events that have been well promoted and the armwrestlers have to make a choice. Also who says that they want a huge amount of pullers? They couldn't have handled a huge turn out.

He's working more now that he's retired than he did before he retired, plus all the stuff his girls have him doing. We also have lack of interest from everyone else. I'm on the shelf with nerve issues in my hands, Carbone broke a foot in a motorcycle accident, and several others just stopped coming. Not much left of the team right now.

Even if I was healthy I wouldn't have gone since Travis's name was on it. Nobody seemed to know what time everything was supposed to be. Sounded like a giant cluster-f#$% leading up to it.

Glad I made it to the tournament. ...I was hitting it from the way home from a vacation in Philadelphia. ...so....it worked out......not a large crowd...but....some cool competition was there.....and there were some great matches!....Dickie beating Sinks quick was impressive. .....Selearis and Sinks was fun to watch....those boys used a ton of energy just setting up!....Simon and Selearis had some outstanding matches!....very impressive Simon!....Selearis has a huge strong hand.....and you kept it in check...twice.......personally. ...getting flashed halfway to the pad by Travis before go was awesome (true story)....but...that's probably what would have happened anyway. ...he beat everyone with ease.....my next match with Marrocco was fun....but....I stayed stagnant way too long....while he was working different spots...angles...and he eventually found one that got me...good job Dave....and....good learning tool for me I suppose. ........glad I got some redemption during after pulling :-) ...thanks for everyone for participating in after pulling btw....I think we all had fun...and....with some of us only getting only a few tournament matches. ...it made the trip worthwhile. ....congratulations to Bart....good guy....that man deserved the payout just for trying to ref some of those matches! (Selearis/Sinks, Valerie/Nadia).......yea...it would have been cool if more people showed. ....but...I understand the situation. ......however. ..the boardwalk and beach atmosphere was very cool...I had a blast....driving home five hours afterwards. ...not so much......anyways....if interested...some video and pics of the matches were posted on the mass state arm wrestling FB page....hope to pull with a group like that again soon.....stay healthy. ...out here....

Does anyone know how the 136 lb ladies right hand class went? I think the competitors were Debbie B., Valerie B., Michael Todd's girlfriend (Rebecca?) and one other lady.
Update: Michael Todd just let me know the results: 1. Nadia 2. Rebecca 3. Valerie 4. Debbie
