you also get stickers, the latest cd and the rule book. and with the rule book you can be one of those ****** that tries to harras everyone about every thing thats border line legal in their installs and try to rat everyone out to the judge at everyshow. basically you can be one of those guys that no one likes and laughs at. and since there hasnt been a person that did this that much last year i think it would be great for you to take on the role of the auxiliary judge. You can be the guy who knows everything and yet knows nothing at the same time.

well worth the $50 for everyone else, take my word for it.

Oh that's amazing, that's exactly what I'm looking for!
****, I already wear glasses so you know ... I'm naturally intelligent.

I'd probably turn the sticker into a T-Shirt ... then everyone will be aware of my status!

So long as you write your name consistently on registration sheets your information will be put on the site regardless of whether or not you purchase a membership. (I had a stats page for a few years before I became a member)

If you are the "most casual member" then I wouldn't bother. Sure, it's nice to be able to add pics to your stats page but is that really worth $50 to you?
Thanks for he info JordyO, appreciated.
I'll have to mee this ... Wayne Harris you speak of ... how does someone become the president?
When Yuli retires, I think he should be the next president.

hahahaah there was a guy just like that, he wore glasses too. he was tall and skiny and his name was Jacob. Then one day he became an actual judge and took pride in disqualifying people even at the smallest of shows. His judging career did not last long, but was funny as hell.

in all reality you, as in DaVibe, dont need a membership. if you never made out to any shows yet its not likely you are going to be a heavy weight contender just yet, maybe soon tho.

if you are looking to get into it, what i suggest you do is start out easy, go to some shows, meet some people and see if this is something you can see yourself doing on weekly/biweekly basis. see if its your type of thing, you know. one you realize that, yah this is what you wanna do on your summer weekends, take the trip to finals with everyone else in October and see what that is all about. If you still feel motivated and interested get a membership for next year.

You're 100% right ... I know where I stand right now ... Not going to be like this forever, but I know where I'm at right now.
I just wanted some feedback about the benefits of ... and if you guys appreciated having one, year after year ... like there was some huge benefit 5 years later when you've been buying memberships year after year.
Seems like it's not entirely the case ...

No you're right, that's my mix-up ...

I thought one might fall into the other to be honest.

to get invite to finals as a competitor
