and my comment. We WELCOMED the outside competition from Collinsville, Chicago and Memphis, heck even encouraged it...we wanted it to be the best!!!
Note, even with all the "foreign" players - St. Louis retained all 3 belts....
And yes, we are travelling to Chicago next weekend to play in "another"...the best competition likes the best competition, and I only get to play in a few events a year, I RUN the rest....
The goal is to make your gym and area be able to hold its own prizes....due to your play, not due to others staying away. Playing great competition only makes you better.
Last year at the St. Louis Gym....the trips were given to a player from Kentucky, a player from Tennessee, and one from St. Louis - we did not whine, the competition earned it...we extracted our revenge in Kansas City, taking 2 of the 3 trips up there!
Talk to you all soon....M45
