Servus alle,
I am happy to confirm that after working with the Education Committee and Alt-Washingtonia, we will be conducting the 1.Gau-Nordamerika Fingerhakel-Meisterschaft at the 27.Gaufest in Washington, D.C.
Hakeln will take place after all Preisplattls (probably on Sunday, time to be confirmed) and efforts to secure competition-grade Tisch and Stühle are underway. Please refer to the presentation previously given, start strengthening your middle fingers, and take note of these categories for competitors:
Jugend 18-21 years
Lightweight 22-39 up to 70kg (~155 lb)
Middleweight 22-39 up to 80kg (~175 lb)
Heavyweight 22-39 up to 90kg (~200 lb)
Heavyweight 22-39 over 90kg (~200 lb+)
Senioren I Lightweight 40 - 55 years, up to 85Kg (~187 lb)
Senioren I Heavyweight 40 - 55 years, over 85Kg (~187 lb+)
Senioren II from 55 years and up
If this does not deter you, please email me at fritz.sheffler@gmail.com, with your name, age, weight, and Verein. There will be liability waivers, and most likely a weigh-in.
Fritz Sheffler
Gaubeisitzer
