Just a quick explanation re: why we aren't running the elite class in the way we suggested we might (as a seperate class for elite level pullers only); we talked to a few people who we'd consider 'elite' and they weren't keen on being forced into an open class all together regardless of weight. A fair number of people consider themselves 'elite' on one arm but not the other, which all muddies the waters too much for this to work in a fair and balanced way and give everyone the most enjoyable day while providing a great competition.

The initial spirit behind running such a class was to give the people who are at "pro" but not "elite" level more of an open competition and chance of getting in the top 3 and to give the top "elite" guys tighter battles... Now with prizes for the top 6 in ALL of the pro classes everyone is in with a shot at a prize, and the following "put your money where your mouth is" style elite class could offer someone the chance to win at least £165, if more than 6 people enter.

Awesome guys awesome

Cheers Paul, thanks again for your support. Onward & upward!

Josef Lovei & Arthur Dorohoff maybe coming.

Hopefully they can make it and bring some strong guys along with them.

This comp is looking MEGA!! I can see some serious guys all wanting to win... will be some wars

Thanks Pete, yes we're hoping for a good show, as the first comp was well supported.

We are in the big room at the same venue, which holds more people and has bigger stage etc.

Yes seen the names coming - all looks brilliant.
It will take something to win the Elite overall!

Who's pulling -95s

Cheers David and agree the elite will be tough for sure.

-95 should be stacked Pete, lots of great pullers around in that class.

75kg for me

Sounds good pal

I will be here for this! Having made my debut comp at New Year Cup,i will be more than ready for this! Along with Dan Thomas,Jerome Bloom,Bradley Martinez,i am the new up and coming talent of the cambridge Team! As one of those in the 80kg class,it would be interesting to speculate who i would be up against.Who are the others in this class who are starting out like myself?

-85kg for me. This is going to be a good one.

I'll be pulling -85 pro, which is bound to be a tough class, but tbh theres talent throughout. -75 could be very tasty with the likes of Tom, Anil, Ham etc.

Novices were great last time, so divide at 85kg should tighten things up and hopefully provide good contests. There's some really good novice guys coming thro atm, a few guys that really impressed at the debut Armageddon comp

I can't make an appearance at "the lion's den, NYC" due to commitments at work, but will certainly be at this comp, and the rest in 2013 ..with any luck!! ;-)

wondering if someone can give some advice?....due to my lack of experience in training/comps, is it wrong for me to expect to be able to compete at novice level???? even tho i'v won a B.A.F Novice comp??....is it set in stone, or otherwise?

youre very welcome craigyboy. my advice is to get as much experience at comps and club days as possible. use the side tables to learn your trade and pratice your skills.

i'm not too sure where you are strength wise atm, but the -85kg novice class at judgement day could be a good test!

plus there'll be pro's around your weight pulling -75kg class to help you gauge your level.

so basically, its worth considering what catagory to pull?...either way I go home with a sore body?! lol! but ye look forward to it!!

DEFO NOV'S FOR CRAIGY!!!!

As said on facebook, you are welcome to come and pull the novice class at Armageddon - Judgement Day

Poster added

Any women pullers coming to "Armageddon - Judgement Day"? If so let us know and we may run a womens class, open weight.
