Dabo? Never heard of him. Colorful interview on Arm wrestling nation radio last night though. He has no place in our sport of respect and sportsmanship. The problem is that he is such an a*s*s that even if he has a legitimate complaint........no one wants to listen. He has been banned from all USAA events after last March. Any results from this weekend Leonard ?

Bobby I'm pretty certain you were directing that comment at me. My money is far from "Daddy's money" I'm acting entitled, really. my comment was justified because I'm "offering" an event that you can choose to come or not and I get people acting like I'm "Robbing" people. this is truly unreal to me. you show me ANY other organization or league paying 6 weight classes including 2 light weight classes this kind of money. Maybe you should try being a promoter and see how you feel when people make accusations like this, I wouldn't expect you to understand because you obviously have never owned your own business. It's always the expectations of people that feel Entitled to make comments like his and yours. This is simple I'm offering an event, experience & opportunity with a massive payout and you can choose to come or not. If you don't like what I have to offer that's fine don't come its America and that's your right but to bitch and complain that things aren't fair is complete BS and childish. I'm done arguing with you, best of luck. Like is said , I never used the word "robbing".

Really Bobby? How is this anything different than a job where people make different wages? Do you go to your day job boss and complain that others make more? I see that comment strictly as entitlement. I'm robbing people because I'm offering an event with the largest payout in North America... Wow! I must look at things differently, I'm more of the appreciation guy when people give me opportunity. Since I've been in this sport I've seen athletes pay their own way to almost every event and take major losses, I've been working hard to change this with each event we've grown production and payouts! I see in no way how anyone is getting robbed just being given opportunity. I'm not sure if that's directed at me , but you did say my name so.... For one , I never used the word rob. For 2 , if anyone acts entitled , its you ! You act like a kid with daddy's money ... To me , it's more along the lines of crapting on the lighter guys , that I believe , are more competitive divisions and there being more of. Bottom line , its your money and operation . You can do as you will ... but with that kind of attitude when a question is asked , I wouldn't act for any boss like that I'd tell them to take their money and piss off ! Money isn't everything

Novice classes should have no one allowed in them that; Have State Titles; Have National Titles; Have placed in any Pro Tournaments; have been pulling for more than 3yrs; These are my personal thoughts not gotten off any website,or someone else's League or whatever just what I thought of, anyone else have any I'm up for ur imput. I agree Or already won a first in novice ... Never understood why some guys hang around pulling novice over and over after they ve won... Plastic collectors I guess

We are trying to create a true amateur class. When we run novice, amateur, and pro, I classify them as the following: Novice: not winning a competition of any kind, first time puller. Amateur: Not winning more than 3 amateur classes with either hand. Not beating a known pro (competitive in the pro class) Not placing 1st in a pro class with more than 3 competitors. pro: Have the strength, skill, and ability to be competitive with the best in class and no longer competitive in the amateur class. Good guidelines !

By definition a novice has little arm wrestling experience and few wins. After three novice first places in a class of 4 or more a person should no longer compete in novice. An amateur is essentially a lower level pro. Someone who is clearly not novice but isn't a pro level puller. By definition an amateur is someone who hasn't won money. In armwrestling the reality is there are very few true amateur classes. Generally an amateur class has a mixture of novice, amateur, and pro's. A real true amateur class is non existent in this sport. Just being real. Most amateur classes are watered down with novices and trophy hunters. Great explanation ! Only thing I may disagree with is 3 novice wins. In most organizations , that is the rule but if you are beating other novices fairly easily you should move up after the first win IMO. You won't learn as much beating people as you will getting beat and you could hurt others. I never understood why some guys try to pull novice again and other I be just what describe above and that's trophy hunters...
