austinslater Posted March 28, 2011 Author Share Posted March 28, 2011 We are also in the process of getting this contest and any in the future sanctioned so that it can be a qualifier for nationals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
austinslater Posted March 29, 2011 Author Share Posted March 29, 2011 Looks like Strongergrip.com will also be sponsoring this contest. I know its a long ways out but I've gotten almost 10 verbal commitments so far. Should be a good turnout and looking forward to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoggoth Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 I think that this'll be a contest I'll look at attending strongly as it's the closest around. I've been way to busy to set one up here for this spring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesG Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 (edited) You should definitely compete! Should be a lot of fun! Edited March 29, 2011 by JamesG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoggoth Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Well I've got my begging eyes prepped to see what the wife has to say. She's got an Aunt down there that we'd like to go visit as well so it might work out well. The only thing that could bugger me up is the kids are back in school then.

austinslater Posted March 29, 2011 Author Share Posted March 29, 2011 Hoping to have a Euro pinch setup by then as well so anything done on it counts for records lists for those who are shooting for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoggoth Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Will there be a medley event or bending (either braced or unbraced) at the event as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
austinslater Posted March 29, 2011 Author Share Posted March 29, 2011 Might be a medley. Thought about bending but there are going to be a few guys who are new to grip so I wanted to keep it simple. I'm open to any suggestions though for sure. Let me know what your thinking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

austinslater Posted August 22, 2011 Author Share Posted August 22, 2011 Our contest has been postponed until a later date. We have a few guys doing different pl meets and the gym that is hosting it isn't finished with a rebuild yet. I will post the new date soon when we get it all sorted out. Any questions let me know.
