Talked to John Burgeson this morning and we are working out the final categories and the manner in which the $30,000 will be distributed. All pro first place winners will received at least $1,000 and up to $5,000. Women first will also receive at least $1,000. We are making a few adjustments to both the weight categories and division of the $30,000 and hopefully be able to post them by tomorrow. Fox Sport Network will televise on a National basis.

My dear friend Engin.........
What we are considering at this point is a MINIMUM of $1,000 for all first place pro winners. In addition thru a raffle system you could win $1,200 or $1,400 or $1,600 or even up to $5,000. All first place winners will receive al least $1,000 and all others will win more up to the top prize of $5,000. I know it's confusing and not entirely written in stone at this time. Bottom line is $30,000 in CASH.

Always have time for friends. That's what this sport is all about for me. I have dear friends in so many dozens of countries including Igor Akhmedshins four children who call me grandfather. (English and Russian languages) I don't think there exists a similar sport where the athletes are so tight with one another and their families.

Leonard, You are a funny guy! Good thing you have such a sense of humor... I almost believed you until I scrolled down and saw the end of your post! Gullible, I know... Great job reffing, by the way... (aside from the very last call, of course.)  See you next year... |
