IF YOU'RE NOT LISTED AND WANT TO BE, PLEASE SEND ME A PIC OF YOU ARMWRESTLING, AND A RESUME, IF YOU WANT. MUST LIVE IN MN AND BE SOMEONE WHO COMPETES, OR PRACTICES REGULARLY. Thanks.
Here are the current active armwrestlers in Minnesota. To be listed, you have to hit up at least some tournaments and train sometimes. For status it's my opinion and I give you a status (lowest level to highest) novice, amateur, open puller, national class, or world class, or world elite. World elite you're top 10 in the World no question. World Class you can compete with guys at/near top 10 / or at least have a chance against MOST guys at the biggest events in the World. National Class you have a chance with at least some of the the top 10 in the USA or can mix it up in the biggest USA events. Open class you're respected at mid-level tournaments but not in the discussion when top 10 guys arrive. Amateur you're too good for novice but an underdog in open classes. Novice you're newer and/or a low level pulIer. I'll give other ranks in certain circumstances (see: Matt Lee - I'm sure he wouldn't argue with that status). Please don't get caught up in your status, it's just an opinion and up to you to prove it wrong, and I'm sure some of you can do way more than your status shows. With so many profiles, they also aren't updated regularly at all. Being an "open class puller" is a perfectly respectable status. A lot of people may never climb higher.
Of course, your status reflects what level your strongest arm is at, too!
I put "inactive" in front of your level if you have not competed in over 12 months. t's possible if you get weaker to move down in status too. Once you're too good for novice it's unlikely you'll ever be allowed in novice again though.
If you have a different picture you want me to use of you, please send it to me and I'll update it. Please have it be a picture of you armwrestling. IF YOU'RE NOT LISTED AND WOULD LIKE TO BE. IF YOU'VE COMPETED AT LEAST 3 TIMES AND LIVE IN MN, PLEASE SEND ME A PIC OF YOU ARMWRESTLING, AND ANY MORE DETAILS YOU'D LIKE, ANYTIME; joshthejedimaster@yahoo.com or use Facebook.
Levels:
Novice: Low level/Beginner/new puller, or someone who hasn't won any novice titles yet.
Amateur: Too strong for novice, but still a lower level armwrestler, will be an underdog in an open class - but too strong for a novice class.
Open Puller: Respected at most mid-level events: Can be competitive in most open classes - win or be in matches - but aren't "up there" with the top guys yet, might be able to win or place in smaller or mid level events but usually won't do well in "pro" classes at big tourneys.
National Class: Can hang with most guys in their weight class nationally; can sometimes beat guys that would be considered in, or damn close to, top 10 USA. Can win matches at any USA tourney.
World Class: Can hang with almost anyone in the World (in their class) on any given day; very few in the World can consistently smoke you.
World Elite: Unquestionably top 10 in the World/can hang with anyone in the world, serious contender for a medal at Worlds/Zloty (good luck MN pullers :D)
These are the levels I give the pullers and it's at my discretion.
