Hope everyone has been using the EBC downtime wisely. I gotta admit it's been a nice little break for me:) So I have a few announcements to make.
First and foremost I have asked Pankration69
to join me in Organizing the EBC. I tried doing the last EBC alone and fuck its a lot of work and the job is a lonely one. After talking at great length with Pank and a few others I decided Pank was exactly what I needed. He brings a team before I approach and he is goal and result driven. He has a heart of gold and his vision of the EBC falls in line with my own perfectly. Plus he's been a trusted brother to me for quite some time. Feel free to direct any questions regarding EBC related issues or questions to either Pank or myself. Please join me in giving Pank a warm welcome to Team EBC!!

Next I have a few changes to the rules. After deliberation with BFG aka El Mas Chingon aka BigHomieDon'tPlaydat I got a green light on a few things I wanted changed. Here are the changes:
1)no more USA today mandatory stuff. Any paper with a date will be good enough.
2) age limit 21yrs minimum ( Childlike antics will no longer be tolerated)
3) if you are banned even for a temporary length at any time during the entry portion and up to the prize announcement you will be disqualified. There's too much money on the line to let douchebags be eligible.
4) If at any time a person steps out of line in questioning the EBCs integrity there will be no second chances. No favors and no love. You're gone. Period.

Personally the age thing I feel should be higher but I'm not going to take any adults right to free will. But I assure you if you act immaturely regardless of age there will be consequences and even expulsion from current EBC and possible banning from all future EBCs.
The next Spring EBC Cutter 2014 is almost ready. Big has a full load and as soon as he has free time we will lay out start dates and get a homepage for the EBC up.

For all if the women who plan on competing this EBC. I will make this challenge to you. If we get at least ten women who join the EBC and finish the comp We will be happy to organize an all Woman EBC. Also for all the women who finish this current comp, if a woman does not finish in the Top 5 overall I will make an announcement for top female winner and ask a Src to award the Top female a prize of their own. If any women finish in the top 5 you will receive Top 5 Prizes only. I'm looking for women who want to be pioneers. This is your time to show me how bad you want an all woman EBC comp. Challenge issued!!!

SuzyB if you see this I'm expecting you to enter:) We would be honored to have you grace the EBC stage.
