Here is section 5 of the WLOCE contract according to Andrew “A-Bomb” Lane’s blog:

5. Entertainer is free to enter into this agreement and does not have any other agreement or obligation that would conflict with the provisions hereof. Entertainer understands that Entertainer is not an employee of WLOCE or any related party for any purpose and expressly waives any right to receive benefits accorded to the employees of WLOCE or any related party. This agreement contains the entire understanding between the parties, supersedes all prior understanding an agreements, whether written or oral and cannot be terminated, modified or any of it’s provisions waived except by a written instrument signed by both parties. This Agreement shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of applicable to contracts entered into and fully performed therein. Each of the parties irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of any Georgia State or United States Federal Court sitting in Dekalb County, GA, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement. WLOCE may freely assign this Agreement and it’s rights and obligations hereunder to any third party.

And here is the corresponding section in the new AICE contract according to Furious Pete (see also)

13. Performer is free to enter into this agreement and does not have any other agreement or obligation that would conflict with the provisions hereof. Performer understands that Performer is not an employee of ALL PRO EATING Promotions or any related party for any purpose and expressly waives any right to receive benefits accorded to the employees of ALL PRO EATING Promotions or any related party. This agreement contains the entire understanding between the parties, supersedes all prior understanding and agreements, whether written or oral and cannot be terminated, modified or any of it’s provisions waived except by a written instrument signed by both parties. This Agreement shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of applicable to contracts entered into and fully performed therein. Each of the parties irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of any New York State or United States Federal Court sitting in New York County in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement. ALL PRO EATING Promotions may freely assign this Agreement and it’s rights and obligations hereunder to any third party

The it’s represent improper use of an apostrophe which should not be used in a possessive pronoun.

(via email) The AICE rankings have been redone and “Furious” Pete Czerwinski is no longer listed. According to an email from Pete, no reason was provided for his delisting. Numerical rankings have also been dropped in place of a two-tier system. (Cached previous AICE rankings)

With the removal of Pete Czerwinkski, 3 (also Joe Menchetti & Ian Hickman) of the AICE top 5 at the start of 2009 no longer appear in the AICE rankings. Ian Hickman, winner of a cupcake contest Saturday, remains listed in the Hall of Fame.

update Furious Pete has started two forum threads on bodybuilding.com about his ejection (Thread 1 | Thread 2) which report that AICE contracts have started.

With the qualifying session now over, the Go! Go! Curry! twitter reports that Dale Boone qualified for the final contest on May 30. His time placed him 5th overall. Don Lerman apparently retained the #4 position. The original #5 qualifier, Andris Zvargulis, attempted to beat Dale’s time but could not.

PMQ reports that Dale Boone will compete in the Brooklyn Pizza contest on May 31. The first prize for that contest will be $300.

It is rather hypocritical that the WLOCE contract prevents signees from doing non-WLOCE events while Dale Boone is free to do whatever non-WLOCE he wants.
