I wasn't referring to your event when I spoke of sponsers and promotions Christian... What I was saying was I have seen more name brand sponsers at European tournaments, and athletes have told me how easy it was for them to get sponsership.
And obviously we have well known athletes...in other parts of the world they are very well known, even better than they are here. But, unlike here...the armwrestling athletes from those countries are known by everyone and not just in the armwrestling community. I have met people from countries not even involved in the sport but know those people from their countries who they are because to them they are celebrities and national heroes.
I was merely curious cause I noticed no amounts were being announced about your event Christian, it really does not matter to me.

dimitry: Look at the name of this thread....AND your statements about the money amounts posted here were about Mine and Petes tournament...If you want to say that your post regarding Europe had nothing to do with our tournament....I don't really believe you, because it all started with Jans NAA meet.....THATS WHY.....You CAN understand why I think that ....RIGHT? Alex: Your Coach had to say that to you? You couldn't figure that out by yourself, or by the NUMEROUS posts on this board saying the same thing?....GEEZ ![::)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/eyesroll.png)

I understand looking back and reading it how you can take it like that...but it was a response to a statement JD made and a generalization to armwrestling sponsership or lack there of in comparison USA to Europe, not a specific one towards your tournament or how you are chosing to promote it, I think the mix up is there. This is how it was meant and if you chose to believe otherwise thats up to you.
I like what you are doing, I like your tournament, I am not bashing it in any way, I wish you all the best running it smoothly and having a successful tournament so you can have more like it.
I think the goal is the same, more athletes, more sponserships, means more armwrestling, more sport growth.

Dimitry, two of the major sponsors of the event are on the banner. If we were to list all the sponsors, we wouldn't have enough room to have anything else. Why are you even concerning yourself with the amounts that these guys and girls are competing for? What does it matter to you or anyone else? Yes, in the past we stated what the amounts were and now we choose not to. It's really no one business except the ones involved and myself.
I hope that clears up anything you might need to know, as if making sure you are well informed is important to me.

Why don't you and your girlfriend not show up on the 26th of January? This way you two don't have to hear us "Talk A lot".

I think it will be a good match, but give Nick Zinna the edge.
