COPA NOVA Results August 1st 2009

[dowjr1]

First let me say thank you to everyone who came out for another great COPA NOVA...Andrew and the refs/staff did a SUPER job (We had everything wrapped up by a little past 6pm).  Also a great thanks to the competitors...we can't do the events without your support.  

The photographer taking photos shot over 3000 pictures of the event and is in the process of cleaning them up a bit...obviously a big task with that quantity.  Some shots will go up tonight and more will be posted as the week goes on at www.actionphotobook.com.

On a side note, for those who are interested, I have co-hosted a popular Jiu-Jitsu radio show in the web located at www.thefightworkspodcast.com.  We recently interviewed Andrew Smith and Ryan Hall.  So it will provide a little more content for your Jiu-Jitsu habit!!

 Here are the results from yesterdays event:

[NAboe315]

bummer....they made a mistake.

[Brackets]

3rd place competitor for gi, male, white belt, 149.9 is wrong.  3rd place was Nicholas Aboe who lost in the semi's to Le Duy.  As you might have guessed I am the bronze medalist who was dissapointed to see someone elses name in my place. 

KoreKombatKompetitor?

I doubt it was intentional, but your screen name is actually very offensive and I suggest you change it as soon as possible.  Thank you.

[NAboe315]

My sn holds the same acronym as a racist hate group of rednecks.  Kore Kombat is the name of my gym, Kompetitor is the model of the gi I have from kikskin.  It is a coincidence and nothing more.

I understand you meant nothing by it, but please appreciate the fact that IT IS offensive to many on this forum, it brings up many unpleasant memories, and it would be VERY much appreciated if you would be so kind as to alter your screen name ever so slightly to something that does not bear any reference to hate groups.

[NAboe315]

I just tried to change it, any idea how?

You can't change it.  You need to ask TRIANGLE to do it for you. 

[NAboe315]

will do.  I don't suppose you guys can change the results to reflect the actual 3rd place medalist for my division?  Let's eliminate any doubt here

That is correct.

Thank you friend.

Only the original poster can update that.

[NAboe315]

I see.  Well I hope he does, this was my first tournament and I was excited to see my name on the results.  Call me queer, but I was.  I hope they fix it so I can actually say without any doubt that I finished in the top 3.

[Animal Mother]

What a great victory for the WHITE MAN!

[NAboe315]

c'mon now......triangle should be changing the name soon.  It was a sweet victory, 2 actually.

[Animal Mother]

Do you still train with Clayton Bigsby?

[NAboe315]

I don't know that name.
