Where can I find competitions?

[hossjob]

I've asked this before in different places, but never get a comprehensive answer. I've looked at physique competitor magazine and their web page, but still don't get all the shows. For example, yeterday (5/15/04), I was going to drive to Columbus to watch a show my buddy told me about at the Veterans Memorial Auditorium (where the Arnold is), but I couldn't find any info on the web about it. I called the Auditorium and they told me pre-judging was at 10:30, I thought it was at 12:00 so being 3 hours away I couldn't make it. Come to find out, the one that started at 12:00 was in Heath, Ohio just East of columbus 30 minutes. Well physiquecompetitor.com had the one in Heath but not the one at the Vet. Mem. Where is a more comprehensive list or multiple web sites I can find these. I don't see any shows w/in 2 hours of my area. Everything is 3 + hours away from me (1 hour west of Toledo, Ohio). Thanks.

Kyle, Go to any organizations website contact them and ask them to send you a contest schedule for the year.
If they don`t have one ,go to another organization as any serious org. should have one and be willing to send it out to youASAP.
Better to call if they have a contact phone number.

I get a zillion flyers a year mailed to me from all over the country.

Once they have your name all the different promoters usually send them to you if they are an established and serious federation.
