I also think NABBA is a top organization and the people are terrific.
Bob Gruskin is a class act. Unfortunately, his health has been tenuous and is considering relinquishing his Presidencyafter this year (hope not, of course).
And my good pal Scott has promoted and judged NABBA shows for a while.

I have competed in several NABBA shows and won nationals last year. I encourage anyone here to compete in their shows. They don't mind competitors who compete in various organizations. Well run, fair judges, good promoters and the guys at the top are excellent! Bob, Dustin and others involved at the administrative level are great people who put the athlete first. The NABBA also runs a lot of novice shows along with the open so even BBers with little contest experience can get some experience. Go to www.nabba.com for the contest schedule. Also, don't be afraid of the jr. nats....there are some good guys there but anyone who places in a local show will belong on that stage.

I`ll be going back to compete in NABBA again this year.
The contest was well run, and just a real good overall experience for me.

John Defendis always encouraged me to do the NABBA Nationals...Bob Gruskin and he are great friends, and John will be the first to tell you that Gruskin was his nutritional guru throughout his career. John always had nothing but the absolute best to say about Bob and his organization. I actually am planning on doing the NABBBA Nationals next year in the Grand Master's division. It has always been a dream of mine to qualify for the Universe in England.

Go for it, Keith. I know that John and Bob only have the best to say about each other. they are both terrific individuals. And Bob's knowledge of the sport is unparalleled. I would encourage anyone to compete in those shows.

Sadly, they seem to be only on the East Coast.
