Do you have to qualify for this contest like nationals or can you enter if someone is a promoter near you? 

[Cannon]

This has historically been an open contest.  Everyone is welcome.

If Adam Glass can't promote for some reason, I will get his equipment and run the Minneapolis contest out of my house if necessary. 

[Matt Brouse]

From his insistance on my participation I would guess he is planning on hosting the Minneapolis, MN, USA arm of the contest.

 

David, I've neglected the Griptopz over the year, so... is there some standardization between the handle sizes on the thick handle event... or do we just compare the numbers regardless of which handle you chose?  The latter is my assumption.

 

Thanks.  As of yet, I'm planning on competing this year.  Today was day one.

[Cannon]

I fingured he was.  Great news. 

 

The instructional video for the promoters said any handle can be used.  You can pick the one that suits you.

[David Horne]

Matt,

Have a feel, and choose which one you want.
