This is the first that I have heard of this tournament so no I do not have a clue.  I don't like the timing of the event but what can I do  I would hope that you 198 pound armwrestlers that have committed to come to the showdown will honor that commitment.  |

I don't know any details yet... but from what I see you have to pull right and left to compete If you want to know more about the details, call Dave Devoto or John Burgeson (I am just the webmaster in this circumstance) but TV coverage is TV coverage to me A side note...I wish we had big tournaments every weekend...but it isn't my arm. (try some lifewave patches  ) |

Any predictions on who will be invited?
Lets see:
98s: John Brzenk, Todd Hutchings, Mike Selearis, Jacob Abbott, Kevin Bongard, Kenny Hughes.
98+ Travis, Bagent, Eric Woerfel, Matt Girdner (yes he pulls lefty ), Ron Bath, Marcio Barboza...Need 1 more....WHO?
How is that so far?

Just got off the phone with John Burgeson
and basically FOX Sports chose that weekend and there is nothing that can be done about it.
80 million potential viewers
as the money breakdown isn't set but he could tell me that even fourth place will pay good...I don't want to mention numbers but left and right first could win some big $$$$

Take it easy.. I'm sure they thought it out before they did the date and weight classes.
First exposure I dont blame them these classes to the public are the most appealing
Bottom line it's more exposure and hopefully will lead to bigger and better.

Guy, that's a great attitude to have! Everyone ought to sport that attitude! Think how the lady armwrestlers feel about this one! I agree with the bottom line...hopefully this will lead to "bigger and better"...
