Should the pre-judging and finals be in one day?

Okay, so the men finals will start about two hours after the webcast itself starts? I need to be sure about this - would be a bummer if I slept through the finals.

I like it on two different days. It gives a chance for big guys like Toney to completely fill out before stepping on stage.
Two reasons why that excuse is weak.

1.) He should be carbed up enough already that he doesn't have to go crazy in the morning.

2.) If it's that much of a problem, change your sleeping habits so you can get up earlier or stay up through the night. Simple as that, but Toney is lazy and filled with excuses.

It's a money thing... probably figuring that more people will go to the show and watch the webcast Friday night, rather than get up on Saturday morning.... they're probably right.

Though, I would prefer it was all the same day.

I think no matter which format, the best prepared guys are still going to be at the top.
However, I think from a marketing point of view it makes more sense to have it on two seperate days so they can sell tickets for two seperate events on two seperate days.

Both in one day = better for the competitors

Both in two days = better for the fans and people running the show

I am sure your right. You do have a lot more experience at this than me.

There is no sarcasm there for real.. just so you don't think i am trying to be a smartass

IMO its better in two days because you are handing the title over to a guy who can hold onto a better condition longer... you are lessinning the element of fluke... IMHO

Nah bro, my post was nothing against you. I know that Toney Freeman has used that excuse before, he was talking to Turk about it at the NPC Pittsburgh. Freeman has a great physique, but he seems like a bit of a cry baby.

This was pretty much what I was going to say. So it really depends on which you think is more important: a good show; or a good performance.

As a fan, I'd rather have the show on one day. I'm really in the minority?

Probably just more devoted. My thinking being that fans would more easily tune into two consecutive evenings than several times in one day.
