Bill Piche Posted October 19, 2003 Share Posted October 19, 2003 GripBoard Mash Monster Rules http://www.mashmonster.com/rules.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricMilfeld Posted October 20, 2003 Share Posted October 20, 2003 These are good straightforward rules. My only concern is that some of us who live outside of the gripper hub may have to drive an unreasonable distance to meet with out witness. Maybe that's the best we can do until the number of grip nuts increase around the globe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that's the best we can do until the number of grip nuts increase around the globe. The number of witnessed will be the limiting factor. The grippers will TRAVEL to the witnesses whereever they are. The grippers will not be stationary at the witnesses. They get deployed to the witnesses.

Bearcat 74 Posted October 20, 2003 Share Posted October 20, 2003 How about no bracing during the set? A brace can be left at 1", but it gives absolute max leverage to hold the gripper, no slippage during the set, which can be a problem.

The grippers will TRAVEL to the witnesses whereever they are. The grippers will not be stationary at the witnesses. They get deployed to the witnesses. That's how I understood it. I was referring to the potential long distance drive from the gripster's house to the witness's house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heath, could you expand with an example so we can be specific on what constitutes a brace? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearcat 74 Posted October 21, 2003 Share Posted October 21, 2003 All you have to do is brace you closing hand/arm on your leg to better the set. It's like bracing for a bend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clay Edgin Posted October 21, 2003 Share Posted October 21, 2003 What about the use of choker collars (or similar devices) to aid with the set? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Piche Posted October 21, 2003 Author Share Posted October 21, 2003 What about the use of choker collars (or similar devices) to aid with the set? Heck no. That's a partial movement as well. I don't think we have to add that type of rule do we? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ulgrim Posted October 23, 2003 Share Posted October 23, 2003 11. The gripper can not be modified in any way before the close ^.... ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Piche Posted October 23, 2003 Author Share Posted October 23, 2003 11. The gripper can not be modified in any way before the close^.... ? If they did, the witness would be instructed to hit them over the head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Piche Posted October 23, 2003 Author Share Posted October 23, 2003 Added one more rule per the last two suggestions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FbaLLPlaya_53 Posted March 13, 2004 Share Posted March 13, 2004 Wanna, Since the new set rule by Ironmind has started, will members still have to be a certified captain of crush to attempt a MMG1, or will a picture showing proof of a 3 close be good enough evidence? Thanks, Sean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Sean They did not have to be a COC first. This is what it says: No member can attempt the "Elite" Classification unless they have at least been witnessed closing a #3 gripper and submitted a picture to Wannagrip as proof. Witnessing doesn't mean being witnessed according to IronMind's now ever changing cert process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yersinia Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 "11. The witness must be a member in good standing on the GripBoard. " will be easy for me to cert then. its like 2-3 norwegians on gripboard . :p and they live far away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankyBoy Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 Thats no problem at all. Let someome sign up and be the 'witness' which basically means the manager of the whole process. The witness won't judge the attempt (when the MM cert process started that was the case) so it really doesn't matter. Even a family member is fine.

Wes Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 Is there a specific waiting period between certs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Piche Posted October 20, 2006 Author Share Posted October 20, 2006 Is there a specific waiting period between certs? Yeah, when the gripper gets back and everything is set according to the sign up list. Cert fee is sent in, which you have not done yet for example. You are up next, but the gripper was just in Finland and is on it's way back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought you wanted to wait 'till the gripper got back home for the fee, but if yer' in a hurry, I can get it to you tomm- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
