Dear Log Rolling Friends and Family,

What a year 2010 was!  With all of your help we added many new tournaments, started over a dozen new log rolling programs, and introduced many new folks to the amazing sports of log rolling and boom running!

 

But 2010 isn't finished yet.  As we all well know, this organization and sport cannot move forward without your help.  I highly encourage each and every one of you to attend this year's annual membership meeting on Saturday, November 13th in Hudson, Wisconsin. 

 

 Before this meeting, the USLRA board would be grateful if you take a few minutes to fill out the 2010 USLRA Member Survey.  The results of this survey and input from the 2010 membership meeting will help the board make fair rule changes and a successful 2011 plan.

 

Most importantly, we are looking for new board members in 2011.  Yes, a bit of work is involved, but the growth of our sport will be well worth your time.  If you are interested in sitting on the USLRA Board please send your bio to: info@uslogrolling.com

 

Have you seen the new US Log Rolling Website yet?  If not, take a moment to check it out!  A few finishing touches still need to be made, but we are all very excited about the new updated look.  Also, if you have any photos or video to add to the site, please e-mail Shana directly. 

 

Finally, congrats to all of our 2010 Log Rolling and Boom Running WORLD Champions!  You all worked very hard to earn that title and the ILRA/USLRA is honored to feature you.

I'm looking forward to an even more exciting 2011 season with new tournaments, programs, and of course, lifelong friendships.  See you at the membership meeting!

 
Sincerely,
Shana Martin
USLRA President

Amateur Super Series Point Totals as of 11/7/2010
La Crosse Open

There were 16 tournaments in 2010!


In order to qualify for a Super Series award, you must score in the
top three in your division.  

 

Although the results below reflect totals for all tournaments, only your top 9 (one more than half of the total tournaments for year) finishes will be counted.  

 

You must have competed in a minimum of 5 tournaments in 2010 and be a member of USLRA to receive a final score.  

 

Finally, the Nationals Tournament (this Saturday!) results still need to be included in the 2010 Super Series results.

 

Awards will be handed out to the TOP THREE Finishers in each division this Saturday at the November Nationals Tournament.
