Less of a problem than most sports. And we intend to keep it that way.

there aren't any Heavy Games banned substances other than illegal steriods right? In particular creatine and tribulus.

As far as I know, those are fine. Personally though, I do a Centrum Silver and a fish oil capsule. 8-)

Everytime I squeeze the fish, I just get blood and guts but no oil. Omega 3, Omega 6, what's that backwards "a gem o'" stuff in them there pills. Some cereals have Omega 3s being put in them now.

make sure you are taking legit supplements from a reputable company-wouldn't want a false postive from a shady company

hotel closest to the field

Postby randy on Sat Apr 05, 2008 11:24 am

that would be the Hampton Inn...'bout 10 hammer throws away! ahrharharharhar.

seriously, i think it's less than a mile and on the same road.

http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=hampton+inn+bridgeport+wv&ie=UTF8&ll=39.291398,-80.265341&spn=0.017039,0.036907&z=15

look below the "D" marker...the space just below "Woodland Dr." is the field of dreams!

remember, i'm answering the question directly...that's the closest to the field.

we do have plenty of fine lodging in the area!!

Craig - registration is full (not closed, my bad) and we have waiting lists I believe. We would still love to have you come on out!

Do we need to buy tickets? I think Kevin sent me some the first year I registered but tore up my abs two days before the game so I never made it :( I am making it this time and my oath will be fulfilled ;) I have always felt bad about not making it to his games after promising I would.

Anyway, should I order tickets?

Thanks, E.

Not impossible, just not sure. We have a flight of 15 with a waiting list of 2 (space for one more) in the open class. There is one slot in the Masters (40+) group. Always good to register AND show up anyway as you never know if people are going to not show up last minute.

Go ahead and register and hopefully we can get you in.

Eric - checking on the ticket situation.

As the date is fast approaching, will parking permits and other entry stuff be mailed to us like last year? I'm currently on the wait list, but am planning to show and throw anyway! ;)

Curtis,
If you check the board posts from Mr. Wills and The McKenzie, you will see that there will be no parking on the field, a wrist band for the competitors (via mail), and other pertinent information regarding the event.

Hope this helps,

Any idea when we should be on the field? Shingler and I will be comig in late on Friday, so we will miss the cookout again, unfortunately. I got my wristband and I know there is no on field parking this year. The paper I got said the pros would be starting at 8:30. So when should we be there?

Also, Mike, I will want to talk to you about posters.
