To further on that a little. I am wondering if you can add the province of origin from the list above? I don't know most of these guys and am curious of
the provincial distribution. This may be a function of my ignorance (and I am sorry if it is), but I am curious nonetheless.
Cheers, -A

Stu, have you ever competed as a lightweight??

My first year was as a lightweight. Last year was with me at 242 or so (lighter than most guys in the US competing at LW). I'm 241 right now, so making 231
should be no problem.
And just as extra info... I know there is at least one guy on that list of 12 who has told me personally that they weigh more than I do. **EDIT: Everyone just relax...lol...this is Dennis' competition. He can do things however he wants, and I'm fine with that. I just asked for clarification on things cause I hadn't heard back from a message I sent him. It's all good, whatever happens happens. I would love to compete there against the other 105's and do my best. If I don't compete, I'm sure Nathan and I will be there rooting on Kroc and everyone else. Whatever.

"I thought that politics in strongman was only in the PQ....I didn't think we would have this in Western Canada.I don't see Tim Sahar's name
either which is disappointing".....
Wow, you really need to get your facts straight before posting something like that.....Jeez, you are all acting like Stu or people have been mistreated here when no one has what so ever!!!!!.....I will explain this one time further and that's it. Last year, when I was going to hold my last comp (105) I posted some info and received a number requests of athletes to count them in on the event. They emailed me and that was it. Fast forward a few weeks, the event fell through and the competition was cancelled. I received many emails of dissappointment by that result, which is why I am now honoring my promise to THOSE athletes that wanted to compete late last year, the opportunity to compete, first. Now, fast forward to today, I have received interest form SOME of those orginal 12 since posting and sending out the email regarding the comp 5 days ago. Again, for the last time, those original 12 only have 2 days left to get back to me and state whether or not they wish to compete. If they do not, then I will start adding in those that wish to compete., naming Stu, "big Mike", Travis and a couple others that have emailed me. As for Travis and Mike, you guys need to email me with your info so I can put you on the list for me to contact if there are more spots. And regarding that little post about Tim Sahar.....well, I would've added him to the list IF HE WOULD'VE ACTUALLY SHOWED SOME INTEREST IN COMPETING LAST YEAR OR THIS YEAR! I've never received one indication from him that he wiahes to compete. Stu, if someone has informed you that they weigh more than you do, tell them that an additional 2 athletes weigh over 250 but have indicated they will make weight. I'm through with explaining this....I've been as fair and impartial as possible, that's all I can and shall remain to do. Dennis

Dennis,
I am not taking sides, but I have a suggestion to alleviate your problems. Stop calling it "105 Westerns". That way, you invite who you like, best of the best, or granny with a bad hip. People (I presume) are getting frustrated because 105 Westerns should include the best athletes, no questions asked. If it becomes Dennis' show of under 231 strength you can invite whoever you see fit and no one will be able to say a word.. My .02

Excellent idea. However, it never has been an invite only comp. If it was, I'd cap it at 8 competitors.
I do like your idea of the name change and I shall do so. It's evdient that this is causing too many problems. The name will be changed and finalized once I get the final batch of competitors this week. Thanks for the input. Dennis

Sorry Dennis..........I am not trying to cause any hard feelings here. The point that I was making is that there are some solid 105 athletes that are not on
the list that you posted...that's it!! You said that you want to see who the best in Western Canada is so I was just responding to that statement. I'm
not trying to upset you or anyone else...I was just voicing my opinion.
Secondly..........Tim Sahar did express interest in the 105's contest that you were promoting in 2007......Read the thread that you started "Need more athletes for 105's or show will be cancelled." So maybe it is you that needs to get your facts straight.
"Unless you try something beyond what you already mastered you will never grow."

The only thing that Tim did was post, "I'm in". I re-read the thread and it does have him tentatively saying he was in but never once did he
confirm his entry via email phone call. Again, I'm beating a horse.

If you can only have 12, might want to have waiting list..as there are usually things that come up..and a few guys will not make it.

The name of the event has been change from the "Western's" to the "Rocky Mountain Challenge" for obvious reasons.
