*** $500 Cash Prize will be given to the DIVISION WINNER.  For example, we may have a MW 198 and MW 220 group for men. Top 3 in each qualifies for Nationals but the OVERALL MW DIVISION winner, NOT WEIGHT CLASS winner gets the prize.  Division needs 5 minimum or gets combined into LW/HW.  FOr example if we only get 2 ladies for LW 132, MW 165, HW 198 ans SHW we split into LW 165 and under and HW 165 and over.

OPEN LW, MW, HW & SHW men and women only, Not Novice.  If Masters gets split in LW/HW we will then offer a cash prize as well but cannot do if there is no weight class breakdown.  Also not, we need 5 in a total division for the $500 prize.  If there are less prize money will still be offered but scaled.  

THE Male SHW Division IS the Arnold Qualifier.  1st Place goes to Arnold Canada and we cover your expenses for airfare.
