Eric Roussin on Northeastboard:

"Chris Gobby is putting on this tournament which will be original in many ways:

* One right hand open class

* Quintuple Elimination -- you keep pulling until you lose 5 times

* Cash prizes down to 15th place:


1st - $600
2nd - $300
3rd - $160
4th - $150
5th - $140
6th - $130
7th - $120
8th - $110
9th - $100
10th - $90
11th - $80
12th - $70
13th - $60
14th - $50
15th - $40

Pullers will be seeded by weight, every round, in each of the five brackets (A,B,C,D,E). meaning you will always pull against the puller who is closest to your weight, and who has the same number of losses. You will not pull the same puller twice, until the tournament is down to the final 5 pullers. This system helps some of the lighter guys make it further into the event.

Endurance will obviously play a huge factor and in a tournament like this, anything can happen.

Plus, there will be a right hand supermatch between Quebec's top puller, Sylvain Perron, and a man who needs no introduction, John Brzenk.

The tournament is just outside of Montreal, about 20 minutes from the US border.

Chris or I will be happy to answer any questions you may have about the event."
