It's always fun to see a new competition format in the arm wrestling scene. Today it was the first time "The Underground" took place and it was a barrel of fun, indeed. The style of the tournament was single elimination with each round being "best of 3" format so every puller got at least 2 pulls automatically. There were 8 total pullers so it was 3 total rounds but Bob Brown, the host of the event, also threw in some "fun" matches with various members of the audience and the refs themselves. The physical environment was a sort of "dungeon"-style setup, for lack of a better way to describe it, and the crowd was quite enthusiastic all the way through.
Personal Rating: A+
Certainly it wasn't perfectly executed and there's definitely a fair number of ways the whole experience could be improved but all-in-all this was a strong start and I hope they make this a regular event going forward.
