People are asking the terms and conditions for the Borderwars portion of this event so here is how I am running this. Best man from each state at 154, 165, 176, 187, 198, 220, 221+. Supermatch format, both arms, best out of 3 matches. Points based, pin is worth 3 points, any other win will be just 1 point. Referees will be one from each state, alternating. Team with most points at the end of it all wins the prize. These conditions were agreed upon between myself and Tanner Seaton who is organizing Team Ill. We will be posting matchups by the end of the month.

IAF Indiana State Results:

First I want to make mention of the most honorable and sportsmanlike spectacle I ever witnessed. After Scott Skelton had already won the Left-Handed King of the Table he feined a loss to my 5 year old nephew and actually gave his huge trophy to him, what a truly incredible gesture! Thank you to everyone who came out, with 120 entries! Wars were fought one after the other, and good sportsmanship abound! Special thanks to my refs Harold Owens, Pat Berry, Dan Stroud, and Bill Onofrey for keeping the event 100% injury-free! It was a day of huge upsets, good fun, and GREAT pulling!

Borderwar: Illinois wins 52-41 over Indiana, all out war!

[Josh Handeland]

How about supermatch results?

[Derek Wirth]

Hey Josh, we were keeping score for team points of the Borderwars supermatches. The individual athletes will certainly recall what they won as far as what right or left and how many matches. The overall score came out 52-41 Illinois. Mike West did video of the whole event so that will soon be available. It was absolute WAR all day!

[Tim Lewis]

Derek,

Thanks so much for such a great event. The venue was amazing, high quality refs, good payouts, good competition, and high quality supermatches.

[Derek Wirth]

I appreciate that Tim. Especially coming from a man that has seen so many tournaments!

[Bill Cox]

Congratulations Derek on a super event. Glad everything went off so well.

[Derek Wirth]

Thanks Bill, I appreciate it!
