Current entries: will be more than 1500 by the end of today - which is right in line with where we were last year. Last year, we had 946 register the final three days, including 499 on the final day, and are expecting more to do so this year, as we are running at a 20% higher rate of entry this week.

Submissions (those that have either pre-registered, and not yet paid + those that have registered and paid) are currently up more than 250 wrestlers (15%), over last year.

Special Guests this year include: Frank Jasper, Shute, from the movie "Vision Quest."
