    Half the time at this point of the year even the people at TWI dont have that information yet.....if they do they keep a really tight lid on it because no information seems to come out until 2 months before the competition.

    seems like if they let people know where and when, maybe it would make things easier... possibly fan attendance would be better

    Depending on the dates I may try to make it out for the finals.

    This could be very good for Jenkins. He deserves to go, but being that its set in the USA it sways things in his favor even more.

    trying to get a hold of there media person at the university. I think they have not released specific days yet, becasue remember, this is a multi multi day affair. it will take place when school is in session and I am sure they are working with local hotels, of which there arent a lot, to sort out availability. charlotte is 30 mins away, so I expect there will be a lot of commuting.

    I could be mistaken but I do not believe they allow video or camera coverage, but i dont see how they could stop you from doing a play-by-play.

    these guys kill me. schedule the finals on the weekend of one of the biggest shows in this country? finals fall during the olympia weekend. both shows will suffer for it. If i were mike or dione, i would be livid and demand an explanation from WSM.

    i am waiting to hear back from the media director as to what they will allow and not allow. my plan is to show up, take pics, do hotel interviews, do wrap up videos every day and post winners in a bracket type format. I dont think they can keep us from doing any of that. but we will find out.

    Bryan,
    You know what might be cool for viewers and the average person...maybe a behind the scenes type deal with some of the competitors, almost reality show-esque. I think Odd or Callie did something like that before. Ive said it before on message boards, I think getting some footage of these guys doing "normal" people things on their time off if you can would show a side people dont get to see.

    that is certainly something i have a huge interest in doing. I have been trying to fund trips to do "a day in the life..." type videos. they would be interesting to watch and see the diversity of professions and habits of these guys....

    WSM may be the perfect opportunity for that. There is the week in between the prelims and the finals, Im sure the mood is a little less tense then say during the show, right before or right after. Where else will you ever get 30 of the Worlds strongest men in the same hotel? Wealth of information, knowledge and antics!
