Hmm. I'm really surprised you havent gotten my entry. Sent it out Tuesday I think?

Brad,

We got Brians entry Saturday. I'm sure yours will be here shortly. Most likely Monday. I'll let you know when we get it.
Sometimes the mail is slow in these part, hahaha.

Tony

Just a reminder...deadline is Nov. 21st.

three people??

There is a couple more however just got notice that Brian won't be able to make it...so we have 4 total now. hahaha
Have had a number of verbals though.

One week to deadline.

Looks like a record low turnout. If we don't get a few more entries I may actually consider folding the Finals and just refund the entry money.

AS hard as I've been training and as much as I'm looking forward to this competition, it'd be the best bet to just fold it if its going to be so small. No sense in having a comp with 3 people..... I hate competing alone and its definately not going to be a fantastic show with such a small crowd.


GET THOSE ENTRIES IN

Tony do you know when you're going to make the decision on the contest? If the hercules is cancelled I might go to Council Bluffs. I just want to know so I don't get my entry late or can't compete.


Thanks

Austin,

The 21st is the deadline. I will make the decision then. We did get 2 entries in the mail. I haven't posted it yet.

Would like to have more than 12.

I'll post it here and contact everyone signed up via e-mail this coming Saturday.

Thanks,
Tony

Tony,
My entry is in the mail. Hopefully you get a couple more!
Shon

thanks Tony

We have 9 guys signed up. Would like to have at least 12. This will cover most but not all the expenses for the contest.
The deadline is this Saturday. If we do not have 12 athletes by Saturday night I will make the decision if the Herc will take place and will contact all registered athletes on the decision.

I have had a number of guys wishing to compete but did not qualify for the IL Hercules. They were turned away since it would have been a disservice to the athletes that had competed and qualified.
