The pros like Steve Namat and Marcos Chacon shouldn't be allowed to enter, for obvious reasons. Anyone with a pro card for that matter.
Would definitely help with the board activity and make things a lot more interesting.
good point about the pro card exception kiwi.
I agree- it'd generate a good deal of interest. prolly get a lot of traffic from other boards when word gets out.
edit: it'd have to be feasible though- the prize pool would have to be there. the incentive would have to be worth the prep. i couldnt forsee a lot of guys going thru that kind of prep for $200.
maybe get Ron to use some of his contacts in the industry to get the winner a sponsorship/ contract with a supplement company, or even say a chance to do a magasine ad for a company. be good exposure for the winner, and the board. you can bet whoever wins would have pretty good fucking physique given the quality of guys who post here, so the idea of a contract, or being in an ad isnt really all that far fetched.
