My goal is to prove how far off these rankings really are. Rob, just for arguments sake would you mind going through the rankings and changing the order to where you think they are accurate? I'm interested how different they'd be from your perspective. Not looking to argue here, just looking for another perspective and to see how far off they are in your mind. |

Hey Jerry, I can't rank guys I've never heard of. My beef is I have pulled more tournaments in Ontario (since the OAA started) than any other armwrestler. I think people that pull one tournament in the middle of nowhere and don't beat anyone should not be ranked ahead of regulars. I never hit people when it's their first time pulling eg. Janet Reihle's brother and Shawna Wilson's husband. I lose a lot of matches this way but sometimes these people get interested and continue competing. I think it's poor spotsmanship for a pro puller to crush someone the first time they try armwrestling. Phil Sadler said he's never pulled left at a tournament but he's still ranked left? He also said he beat John Keuhl at the centrals and John is ranked in 12th place and Phil isn't even ranked? This is just another example of a newbie ascending the rankings too quickly and getting a ranking he hasn't earned. This is why I believe the top ten rankings are much more accurate than the bottom ten. I only pull for fun and I think I should have the right not to be ranked. I only noticed I was ranked when I looked at the rankings to see what all the bs between Eric Furness and Jeff Kaye was all about.

Rob,
1, just the fact u ve been around for 20 years does not hold much weight in rankings (in respect to ability & performance)
2, I agree, it could be considered unsportsmanlike when a pro hits a newbie hard, but you are not a pro puller. (pro pullers don't lose to newbies, by "not hitting")
3, John Keuhl at his last performance finished ahead (and beat) pullers ranked top 10 in Canada. This holds much weight, and it looks like he's progressing very fast.
4, the bottom ten is much harder to rank. But as I get to see vid footage... They will gain accuracy.
