Novice / Get A Grip

[Rick Laton]

Just making sure that everyone understands the rules for Novice. If you have won 3 tournaments EVER, in any weight class, you cannot pull novice. I was watching last years DVD and saw some really good novice guys that are going to have to move up this year (Jimmy Conner for example). Hope to see how much he has improved from last year. Don't lay out on us now just because you have to go to OPEN !!! I think a certain puller from Florida is calling out your name !!! If you're SCARED..... SAY SCARED !!! If not, we'll see you on the 14th.

Back to the novice (sorry I got sidetracked). We just want to make it fair to everyone so if you have won 3 times (it doesn't have to be in the same weight class or even in this decade) if you have EVER won 1st place 3 or more times you need to pull OPEN. See everyone soon. Travel safely !!!!

At the indiana state tourney this past july i got first in my weight left handed,,,,,,,,Does that count as one?

[Jeramie Towle]

what orginization put on the tournament?

[Rick Laton]

I don't think it matters what organization. If you won't 1st place then it is supposed to count as long as you weren't the only one in a class. Hope you can make it. We usually have an excellent Novice class.

[Jeramie Towle]
