February 2012
Dear Arnold Wrestlers,
In just a few weeks we will once again have the honor of attending the Arnold Fitness Expo and the Arnold Classic Armwrestling Challenge. They are expecting in excess of 100,000 people to attend over the 3 days of the Expo with more athletes than attend the Olympics. For those of you who have been in Columbus before, you know exactly how exciting the Expo and the Armwrestling are.
ALSO, I MUST HAVE YOUR INTERVIEW SHEET. All competitors need to be at the mandatory weigh-ins and meeting at the Greater Columbus Convention Center Rooms C224 & C 225 Thursday March 1st. Weigh-ins are 4 to 6pm. A mandatory meeting in the same rooms is at 6pm. Your wristband and Custom Arnold Polo shirt will be given to you at this time. We will also be reviewing the rules and schedule of competition for Friday and Saturday and answering any other questions you may have. WAF rules will be used.
DRESS CODE:
When you are competing (ladies and men) you must wear black slacks or NEW black jeans (no work jeans). Jeans with holes in them are unacceptable. Your pants must also come up to your waist with or without a belt. Remember, we are representing Armwrestling and we need to present ourselves in a way that will earn respect as athletes. Being on stage in front of thousands of people requires that we be dressed appropriately.
Awards: First Place - $500 plus Custom Arnold Jacket, 2nd - $400, 3rd - $300, 4th - $200
You will each receive a custom Black Polo Shirt. If you would like to order any additional Polo Shirts they are $15 each. We can bring the additional Polos with us to the Arnold and you can pay for them there. Please contact me BEFORE 2/24/12 at dmwatts99@gmail.com or (406)690-1630 .. Please remember that your referees and scorekeepers take time off from work and pay all their own expenses to attend the Arnold so please make sure to thank them. The Head Referee for this year’s Arnold Classic Armwrestling Challenge is Leonard Harkless.
If you haven’t made your hotel reservations you need to make them immediately! Should you not be able to get a room get ahold of me, I have a couple of rooms set aside at the Ramada Inn.
The United States Armwrestling Association has a vendor booth in the Convention Center. It would be greatly appreciated if you would spend some time at the both talking to, and demonstrating armwrestling, to the people that come by. It is very enjoyable to expose our sport, and athletes to the public. It will be a lot easier on everyone if we all take turns at the booth and that way everyone will also have time to see the rest of the exhibitions. We will let you know the booth number at the meeting.
All of us need to be at the main stage, in the Convention Center, NO LATER that 9:45 am. On Friday March 5th. The Arnold Classic Armwrestling Challenge eliminations are Friday morning opening the show at 10:30AM. Finals are Saturday and you will need to be there no later than 8:15am The finals start at 9:00 am at the same place.. Only those with athlete wrist-bands will be able to get in before 9 am. Keep in mind that it will take over ½ an hour to get from the front door of the convention center to the Main Stage, so leave your room early. You must have your wristband on, and visible, to get into the Convention Center early. If you do not have your wristband they will not let you in. "
