Based on the room rates and this years flight pricing, with entry fee and uniform included, I think the total cost per person will be about $1000.00 for the whole time. Plus food and bev. That has to be the cheapest Worlds in a long time.  Better be training hard.  |

Bob I am curious as to what a flight is going to cost you? I always fly out of buffalo to any tourny in the usa cause its a huge savings for me. And for me to fly from toronto to Kelowna next year wont' be under $650.. its expensive to fly in this country. I might have to drive to Buffalo and fly from there again to save..
It will be a great time for all. Keith always puts on great events and with this being the worlds he will go far beyond anything he has done. The hotel he has arranged is georgeous and the area is breathe taking.
And as Jaime said we know how to party so no one has to worry about that when we are all finished our training and kickin butts at the table.
I know USA will have a full team and so will Canada.. I just can't wait to see the teams from the other countries..

I would like to see people from this area take home golds. Since it's in North America, the heavier divisions will be loaded. What weight class do you intend to pull at worlds? Are you training with Badger? If not, who, or what group are you training with? |
