Gary,

I would take you up on your offer later this summer or in the fall
at a different tournament. This event is one week before WAL Vegas
so I won't even be pulling at all at this event. I am simply
promoting this event and trying to bring armwrestling back to Pittsburgh.
This event is held in conjunction with a Memorial Day weekend expo
so I have zero control over the date.

[Gary Kessler]

Understand Tim; We can pull next weekend on the 9th in Maryland at the WAL event if you can make it. or sometime later in the year.

My left Feels great currently, my right is a little tweaked from some of the events I had in IL, TN and NC.

Normally I wouldn't care but being the magntiude of the event in Vegas. I need to make sure im 100% healed and that means not pulling anynore with it till then.

If you want to pull me left handed only for $100 best of 5, I would be down. But Im not going to pull right handed at all or sign up for the tourney Bc I already qualified. My weight will be about 188-190 next weekend. Let me know if interested.

[Gary Kessler]

Yes!!! I'm in for $100. I'll set it up with Travis and I'll see you there Tim.
