What is the difference between novice/amateur, open/pro

[Denise Wattles]

Hi There,
Novice is for men that haven't ever Armwrestled or have not won any class with 4 or more entries in the Novice Class.
Amateur pullers have more experience (Novice pullers may also pull in Amateur). Recognized Pros (you are not a Pro if you have won only small events with small payouts)may not wrestle Amateur.
Open Divisions oo not offer prize money so anyone can enter.
Pro Divisions: Classes that do offer prize money, anyone can enter these classes.

Hope this helps,
Denise

Yup, you just sign up the day of... have you been practicing with anybody? There's some good pullers in NC, if that's where you live. Look up Michael Bianchi, Rick Laton, or Jeremy Fraley on Facebook if you have one.

[rbarker]

Thanks. I guess I would be an amateur then...

[lramir221]

If you are under 18 would u need to sign anything to compete in the amateur or do i just sign a waiver for myself

[Deleted]

Parent signature I believe I you're under 18..

[alv048]

Does Novice pay out? Is it single/double elimination?

[lramir221]
