The average turnout per venue may be lower, but I’m confident the overall turnout will be up. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Roussin Posted July 25, 2019 Author Share Posted July 25, 2019 Two announcements: 1. There will be a youth division in this year’s King Kong contest. This division is optional: it will be offered at the individual contest promoter’s discretion. Results will be tallied separately, and there will be small medals for the top three international finishers in each of the following divisions: Boys 10 and under Boys 11-13 Boys 14-15 Boys 16-17 Girls 10 and under Girls 11-13 Girls 14-15 Girls 16-17 2. This year there will be a special golden gorilla sculpture for the overall top female (to match the one given to the top overall male). 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John McCarter Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 @Eric Roussin have a question regarding the youth division. @bencrush brought this question up on my contest thread page. "Will the youngest youth girls use the exact same implements as the adults for the contest?" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We realize that this may mean the youngest and smallest competitors may not have the strength or hand size required to compete in all four events. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
