Looks awesome!
It is already on the front page and in the Events section, but I figured I would announce it here, too. Seven Starting Strength Coaches in the US and Canada are holding strengthlifting meets at their respective gyms on Saturday, October 25.
There will be winners for each local venue, but we will also pool the results from each meet and announce an overall winner. The best male and female lifter from the combined results will win a free spot to a Starting Strength Seminar.

This is awesome. I'm going to get my crew signed up ASAP!

Nice to see the event referred to as a "strengthlifting meet". Hope one day the press would be replaced by the clean and press.
Best wishes to Tom and rest of the the people involved.
