Would be a shame if there isnt with so many competing in qualifiers to get to englands. I surpose they have BSM but would have been good if say top 3 got a place at UK's | ||

However there were 60 guys evenly spread across 3 regional qualifiers for England's 105, with the best 15 qualifying. Empm is open to anyone able to afford a weekend in Kent to compete, with about 12 people currently signed up (the majority of which are fairly local) . As such England's 105 is a much better reflection of the best 105s in the country. If you want the Uks to continue being a respected national title you need to ensure the best guys are there. As it stands the majority of the top 105s aren't doing empm and as such the uks will become a meaningless title. I see no harm in empm being a qualifier but to be the only English qualifier and offer invites to all of the top 3 from last year without evening offering the winner of England's 105 a spot is madness. How about : 1 spot for last years winner (as normal) 3 spots from empm 5 spots from England's 105 2 from Wales, Scotland and Ireland scrap the wild card invites | ||

There was some athletes who turned down my invites for various reasons which is not my fault and is also their personal choice. EMPM 105 originally had over 30 athletes in it which was when my decision was made to take top 5 to UKs. Also I have no fear of UKs losing any respect as a national title because as I did last year I will push and get the winner to The Worlds so no problem on that score but thanks to you and everyone for your comments.....!  | ||

 technical retard Member 172, 36827 posts SQ 310, BP 205, DL 335850.0 kgs @ 108kgs UnEq | I agree entirely with Ben. Used to be the premier comp but now with no true qualification process will be more like Kent strongest man One of the "wildcards " will obviously be Ben, as the comp would lose even more integrity without him there Shame, as it used to be THE 105 comp of the year, but the equal process is a bit farcical Was a great comp last year, just don't think it will have the best guys there , using the above mentioned process | ||
