there are still alot of placings I am unsure of , but that should not be an issue in the near future. I think Josh Stark and Chris Myers would be a good one also, Ron Ermini and George Sheldrick have quite the rivalry goin'
Eventually, Chris & I will face one another. I know Chris has a ton on hooking power & has been training like a dog, so it will be interesting once we square off. As I have said before, I have nothing but love for Chris. I respect him & know how tricky he is on the table, just by watching him pull. After training w/ Ron today, we both agree that sometime soon, maybe the 98's can get together & set the Rankings up by having a 4 or 6 way pull-off. Whatever the majority of the class wants to do is fine with us. Rob, you know eventually one of us top pullers from the 98's will catch up to you, & I know you are waiting for that. You have pulled great & solid for nearly a year now & seem to be gaining strides @ every tourney, so it may get interesting this year. I just need to heal my knee so I can give you a good pull. Loon Mountain was the last time we pulled & I really wasn't even close to being on my game. I just hope the next time we meet, I give you a bit more ! It's all good though. Nothing but respect for your pulling power bro!!!
you could do the 4 or 6 way anytime. I mean if people are interested in finding out how they rank right now it doesn't have to be at a sanctioned event. There could be a get together at someones place and set up a mini tourney or round robin. Legit, where everyone knows that rank is on the line and half the guys ranked are Refs anyhow. This would be a great way to start Practices. Take some pics , drink some beers, lots of pullin............sounds like a good time to me. Then there is no wait for an upcoming tourney if people are feelin froggy
Plus, I think this would add to the quality of the training session. When people are getting ready to pull tournament style there is alot more intensity than just plain old practice. Some of the sorest my arm has been is after a tournament where it seems as though I didn't have a tough match. I think it is because of all the loading and torque being applied before the GO.

Wow...a year and a half since a post on the 198's thread. Too difficult to rank?
Who would be the top 3 198's in this region? Mike Selearis has to be on top of this one. Is Rob Vigeant, Jr. still a 198?
I don't know if Ron Ermini is going to be a 198 anymore. He just won 1st in the 220's at RI States, right handed. Once you get a taste for eating what you want, it's hard to go back. LOLOLOL JK Ron.

I doubt there would be any takers on a match if there was a disagreement.
I know, I know, I beat Mike when he pulled 4 classes. Truth is, I was way outta training, my mind was way outta armwrestling, and I was loaded at that tourney.
I would love to get my hands on mike or giorgi with the shape I am in right now...........it's not even close.
