acorn Posted January 21, 2014 Author Share Posted January 21, 2014 Eric and Yori, hope you can make it. I got final clearance to put this on from the wife yesterday. It is generally a many step process and very touchy subject to get clearance requiring deft timing and execution. - Aaron 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricMilfeld Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 I already got the time off from work... And clearance from my wife. Yori has no choice. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But after my fourteen year old son explained that the happy little guy with the sparkler and pointy hat is a wizard, it all made sense. No wizardry, obviously. I guess I just caught her in a charitable mood. Hmmm... maybe I should keep an eye on the checkbook in the coming weeks. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electron Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 So I hear that you'll have some really cool trophies again this year. How does a competitor win one of these Aaron, is it for top overall or by class? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acorn Posted February 3, 2014 Author Share Posted February 3, 2014 So I hear that you'll have some really cool trophies again this year. How does a competitor win one of these Aaron, is it for top overall or by class? We typically run 3 classes. Mens Open, Mens Novice and Womens. We have also run an Elite class in the past when more than one Elite level competitor is competing. Novice in this case means 1yr or less from your first grip contest. We will be doing weigh-ins for weight class rankings and records but not running weight classes in the comp. Generally not nearly enough competitors / entry fees to cover this much less additional classes most years. - Aaron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electron Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Thanks. Will weight class results be logged in on NAGS website or will everything be just for open results? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acorn Posted February 4, 2014 Author Share Posted February 4, 2014 Weight class will be logged on the gripsport.org top 50 lists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwwm Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 I've been thinking about the line up of people stopping out for the comp, and it's going to be pretty stiff competition for those 3 open trophies. My sister will probably place higher than me again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephen Ruby Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 (edited) Just got word my sister plans on coming down too. She is even talking about competing. She hasn't been training, but will start soon (or so she says). Stephen, your sister is still coming too, despite the date change right? I have just started working a second job on the weekends right now, previously was just working during the week with school as a tutor. Money has been tight recently for a few reasons. I wont say never but I will have to find a way to get off work and have the cash to spend a night the day before since its a 10 hour drive for me. It looks like your going to have a great group of guys though and I really would like to make it but I can't make a guarantee right now. If I did go my sister would compete for sure though. Looks like you will have plenty of tough competition though so it should be a great contest regardless.

Thanks there is still a really good chance I will make it I just have to figure out a few things. 2 months is a long time and I more then likely will make it.
