For the log lift, we have removed the rule that you have to hold onto the log with one hand, since each rep is from the ground up, we thought it would make it more difficult with our rule set so we made the change. Thanks!

I made an error on the form, we are going to have a tire flip for the novice class and masters class. The tire we are looking at for novice and masters is around 500 and the tire for open should be 700 or more. We still need to weigh the stones, and we will have that at least two months before the contest. I will post it here when we get that information.

I was wondering if anyone could help me out. We are running our contest with proceeds benefiting our Youth Strength Program, and to maximize the money we can put towards the kids, we are looking for a sponsor to help us pay for some of the equipment we purchased. It can be any business or any organization. Here is a letter with some of the details and benefits we wanted to offer. If you have any suggestions or can pass this along, it will be sincerely appreciated!

Sounds like a great program.

i wish the YMCA in my area put on something like that. But they are too concerned about people making noise while lifting heavy and raising their prices.

Seriously just start hitting up local businesses, restaurants, and gyms. The first contest I ever did the husafell carry was sponsored by a mexican restaurant so it was painted with their logo and became the chili pepper carry. Just do some ground work in the community and hopefully people will help out.

Best of wishes with the contest, if I were closer I would think about competing.

Cheers,
Scotsman
