Just want to set the record straight about the event Tom Simko ran, it was not a sanctioned event. The IAF Director for PA is Sue Fisher and Sue is the only one authorized to sanction an event in PA. Sue did not sanction Tom's event and had nothing at all to do with the running of the event.Sue has been the IAF Director for many years and runs a great event that people look forward to attending. If anyone in PA is looking for a sanctioned event to attend or wants to have their event sanctioned contact Sue @ suef642002@yahoo.com

Thank you Bill, in addition to the behavior at the event I thought that the general idea of him hosting at tournament advertised as "PA State Championships" two weeks after the Erie team held the PA State Championships was uncallled for and disrespectful making almost a mockery of our state titles here in PA.
Sue has the PA winter blast in Northeast Philadelphia each year and last year we had over 100 entries, the biggest we've seen in the past 5 years. It is the only event I consider to truly to be "local" to my area held each year. I highly encourage all the out of staters to continue to support Sue's event in Philly each year in March as southeastern PA is very lowly represented in terms of events and number of pullers that actually train reguarly.

Bill, I'm not trying to start anything. I think Tom's actions were deplorable. I wasn't at this tournament, as it was my anniversary and we were away. But I was right there when you appointed him as a co-state director with Sue a couple years ago. I seen it with my own eyes. I was there. You even traveled down to PA to ref his first tournament under you, and he bought you a hotel room. As crapty as his recent actions are these are the facts, unless you stripped it from him and I was unaware. He left AAA to be under you. YOU appointed him when Mike Ondrovic Stopped!

Hi Chris That was true, I did appoint Nitro 3 yrs ago but much has changed since then. I spoke with Tom couple weeks ago and told him that from now on the only IAF Director for PA would be Sue Fisher who has been our Director there for over 8 years and has done a fantastic job. I have no idea why Tom didn't tell you that.
