The sponsors pulled out this year and that's why the quals never happened; but I'm sure that they're going to happen for 2012s Arnold Am.

Jay automatically qualified this year for 2011 as he was the top Brit.

All seems a bit odd really. Surely even 1 qualifying comp would be possible, and vastly preferable to 'selection'?

As for sponsorship... If the 'prize' is a spot at the Arnold's, you hardly need any other incentive.

Running this by 'selection' sounds at best lazy, at worst plainly unfair. There are lots of people pushing very hard to do well in this sport. To not give them at least some opportunity is wrong.

There are a number of people out there who run competitions very well. If running a comp is the problem, I'm sure a couple of phone calls and emails would find several likely candidates. I don't buy that it is too difficult etc to run a qualifier. It doesn't need to be televised, it doesn't need to be big money, but it should happen.
