Great idea, location and much needed!  Family and I visiting San Diego in late June but certainly will bring my son to this high-level event one of these years. IMO, Gripsport is the best due to unique and excellent variety of lifts. Best of luck in the inaugural event! I will award $50 each to overall winners of Men and Women division.

Hello Squeezers, 

This is Will Guiliani (squeez_big on ig) of West Coast Arm Sports, the promoter for this event. 

I wanted to update this thread a bit, the Gripper event has been removed from the contest, perhaps to be replaced with a mystery event?

Also there will be awards for this event:

Awards: 

Overall Champions for Men and Women will receive The Golden Grip Trophy, a $100 cash prize, a grip implement and the title “The Best Grip in the West”.
2nd Place Overall for Men and Women will receive The Silver Grip Trophy and a grip implement.

3rd Place Overall for Men and Women will receive The Bronze Grip Trophy
Best Pound for Pound Lifter will receive a $100 cash prize.
