So far from the Bay Area a few arm wrestlers told me they will come and some ninja warriors are interested. I just need to plan specifics before making this official. If anyone is planning on travelling here to compete let me know. So far two people have contacted me that are interested in doing that. Before making any plans though let me make sure that this can work out. I have all the implements, I just need to find some space because my place is too small and I also need to find more weights. I have all the implements. Keep us posted on this. My son's significant other and I both would like to compete. She just started doing grip and is intrigued by it. I am 100 miles South of SF. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waiting for final confirmation from diablo rock gym. I will make a new thread and post more details once we get the place locked in. If for some reason we can't host it there I will rent some space in SF somewhere or if it's a nice day we can have it outdoors.

Eric Roussin Posted September 16, 2016 Author Share Posted September 16, 2016 ANNOUNCEMENT: After some discussion among the IGC, a slight change has been made to the one-hand pinch rules. The rules now state the following: "The loading bar can and no doubt will hit your leg at some point, this is fine. But the lifter must not start with the loading bar touching the leg, and the loading bar can only contact the leg after the device has left the ground." This new wording is already up on David Horne's World of Grip site (http://www.davidhorne-gripmaster.com/bhsarules.html) and the updated rules will be in effect for this year's King Kong contest. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not I might do it in SF if I find people interested in it. If it's just me and if you end up hosting a location in Portland I 'll try to come! I will really try to go to this. Been wanting to for a while and I"m back at gripping again. I travel to the Bay Area and San Fran at times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Roussin Posted September 25, 2016 Author Share Posted September 25, 2016 To make things even more interesting, we’ll also be keeping score to determine King Kong’s Top Venue. Points will be earned in the following manner: 1 point per entry, plus additional points for top 5 performances in each King Kong weight class (based on overall placing in the four combined events): 5 bonus points for every 1st place finish 4 bonus points for every 2nd place finish 3 bonus points for every 3rd place finish 2 bonus points for every 4th place finish 1 bonus point for every 5th place finish This will just be for bragging rights, but hopefully it will create somewhat of a team atmosphere and encourage participation. There are 13 venues – which one will be this year’s Top Venue? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Roussin Posted September 25, 2016 Author Share Posted September 25, 2016 And here's a little tip: venues with female and lighter weight competitors should have an advantage for the Top Venue title, as these classes usually feature fewer competitors. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Roussin Posted September 26, 2016 Author Share Posted September 26, 2016 I've been having a bit of trouble connecting with Aldo Alberico (the promoter).
