2022 Olympia Weekend Qualification Rules and List of Competitors --Rant

this sounds like a serious cluster fuck to me

I knew there was a boat load of contest this year... there pretty much seemed to be one every weekend.
well here is the result 40+ in the open MrO
50+ in the classic
40+ in 212 ...
that is just the guys...

the prejudging is going to take hours....

all the week before Christmas... Seriously.. the week before Christmas you are flying out to Vegas ?
who thought this was a good idea?
Can you image how low the buy in for the PPV will be...
who has 2 or 3 days worth of tv viewing time this time of year and can just camp out the weekend before Xmas?
I hope they can spread viewing time over a couple weeks... maybe after xmas but before NYE

NFL play offs , college games... this is going to be a seriously low rating Mr O
IMHO

Sorry for the rant guys

I agree, way too much going on and the timing sucks.

I feel bad for the competitors.... they work their ass off to win a pro show. 8-12 weeks prep. (guesstimate)
then another 8-12 weeks for the MR O ...and these are pro's ... sure one or 2 will be off.. but most will right on
you have seen the death faces . I saw rami, bonac walker and hollingshead.. my self ... I am sure there is more..
So we will see the judges be way too cruel... there are going to be guys ,that could win any contest , that will be written off on the first 1/4 turns.. it is going to be brutal...

I follow Iain Vailliere on IG, he’s been in Vegas since the beginning of the month prepping for the Mr O! Could you imagine the work and dedication that goes into this? These guys deserve a lot better. I honestly don’t think there is another sport out there that takes this much dedication.
