After lots of phone calls and a lot of thought, it appears that this tournament is not going to make it. Due to the fact that the regional finals are being held March 1, 2014 (Which is the same day as the Get A Grip tournament), it appears that most local pullers have chosen Get A Grip over NAL. I have spoken with MANY from NC and some from SC and I only have a handful of people who MAY even come. I have promised the local Crossfit gym that we will be there that day armwrestling and he has promoted it at his business and on his Facebook page so I feel like we need to show up. Here is what we are going to do.....
We are going to hold a practice on that day (Saturday, Oct. 19th from 12 noon - to at least 2 pm). We have a pretty good group of guys who have expressed an interest in coming for a practice. Myself, Jeremy Fraley, Grant Plyler, Jamie Fortenberry, Nathan Harrison, Junior Andrews, Dustin Cook, Michael Bianchi, Todd Immel, Darnel Burris, Roger Pareja, Jimmy Mabe, Clint Carpenter and the Parsons boys just to name some off the top of my head.
IF YOU WANT TO QUALIFY FOR THE NAL, WE WILL HAVE THE OPEN classes but not the Novice and Masters. If there are more than one in a class and you want to pull, we will pull that class. If you do not want to pull but want to qualify for NAL in Ohio, you can pay $25 and you are qualified (Unless there are more than 4 in that particular class). In that case we would HAVE to pull to get down to the top 4. So, to reiterate. If you need to qualify for NAL, you MUST be there and weighed in BEFORE 11:30!!!!
I just don't want to hold this tournament and only have 4-5 people show up and it look really bad for the Crossfit gym. Lets show up and have a HUGE practice and those that were planning on pullling in the tournament (Open classes) will get to pull but we will have a backup plan in case no one shows up for NAL.
Let me know if I don't have you listed but would be interested in coming to practice!
Any questions, feel free to call me at 704-791-3085
REPEAT: NOVICE AND MASTERS CLASSES ARE CANCELLED !!!
