I have to agree, a promoter would liek to know he is getting people there, , but expecting people to just show up and register.. well a guy shows up and sees some guys that he is pretty sure he cant beat , he may change his mind.. I have pssed on thw info to several around here and none of them knew, but all are interested.. some people just dont use computers

Holy crap, so much potential, I think I am good being a lightweight for now. But hey if you know of any other tournaments like that one in Iowa would you let me know? Even if they are small I may go and I know some other MN guys who probably would. www.armwrestle.com she posts all the local tournies

Not the 51st state , just the preffered name of the state, More people know where Omaha is, if you say that, nobody knows of Nebraska (unless its college football) Besides one you go west of Omaha what is there really?

Todd your " little" brother looks to be a force in the 200s. bringin him to ROTN? ? We are debating that, probably , but we talked and cutting down that close to worlds may hurt him more than help him win money. If he feels healthy where he is at there is no sense in changing that for now, the class he is in is 176+ so he can weigh 800lbs .. since this is his last year as a junior we are letting him do as he wishes. Next year the push to maintain weight

Dustin - This was back in March of this year, Which dude are you asking about? The Guy in the shorts is Brent Rakers, the other kid id my younger brother Tom Dixon.
Erick - Yes, he was 17, like I said 1 month before his 18th b-day
Clint - Brent is from IL, yes he is a 198 puller, I think he was in the 210 range at this tourny, My brother is around 220 and he is from IA, near Omaha, has the body composition to make 198's but in his Juniors class at worlds it is 176+, he was the second smallest in his class at worlds last year at 210. The largest kid has 100lbs on him

Keenan, I PM'd you. Todd, send your Brother to the CO State. We have a 220 class. Would love to , unfortunatly I am away that weekend for military service and he wont travel alone. He took 3rd in nationals last year and 5th this year in the 242 class, (he weighed in at 223, didnt plan on pulling the open class until the last minute and wasnt worried about the weight) He is focused on Worlds and will have plenty of time for the open classes next year..
