I believe the last NQ is actually the Eastern USA.

When is the Eastern? My pitch could indeed be off as last year it was the week before Nats whereas we've got two weeks this year.:D

I know quite a few of the competitors who are competing in this show from around Florida and will be doing video interviews along with shooting the complete show for Pete Fancher and Gene Schlossberg my friends the promoters. If anyone here is competing and wants a little extra face time holla. :waving:

This is going to be a good show and one to see a lot of competitors that'll hit the stage for Nationals.

Well it is All South Championships SHOW TIME! Friends begin rolling in tomorrow from Miami, and Coral Springs including Marijan Lipsinic, Maria More, Carol Medina, and Tony Racanelli (who should be a surprise to many competing again). Plus, some of the champs from other shows around the state including Lonnie who won the overall at last weekends Battle on the Coast will be heading over from Team Body Tech. Steve Tsitas has also joined forces with Team Body Tech and I understand is using this show as a nationals warm up. Amy DeGiovine and Kari Walsh will be battling it out for a top spot in their class and hoping for a nationals spot after winning overalls at the Ancient City & Gateway Classic respectively. Lots of others rolling in with a few surprises no doubt. Looking forward to seeing Lucy Wilson at the judges' table as she has been training in seclusion prior to Nats. I can hardly wait.

I got this message from Pete Fancher co-promoter for the All South Championships earlier today, "Looks like we will have a strong All South this year - - we have 65 entries already and that is 21 more than we have ever had as early entries - - will be interesting to see what comes in late tomorrow evening. Could be a record event for us.
Thanks,
Pete"

I've got five photo/video shoots scheduled around the videoing and interviewing coverage of weigh-in tomorrow night, morning meet, prejudging, and evening show. :bump:
I'm so excited:)

A large number of equally large (lol) bodybuilders and fit-figure ladies embarked on the nation's oldest city of St. Augustine this afternoon and early evening for weigh-in. It is a record turn out for this last Florida qualifier for nationals. Unfortunately one of my South Florida bodybuilding lady friends had to turn around and go home after she mistakenly thought she could arrive late this evening and check in tomorrow morning. No late weigh ins allowed outside of the South Florida district. I felt bad for her as she was very upset on the phone after I passed it to the head judge and promoter for a ruling, which was what I knew it would be. That should be a lesson to all of us to be sure and understand each shows' rules well in advance.
