” Arm Wrestlers!
The WAL 2017 Championships are upon us! Time for a couple of important & exciting announcements.
For the PRO classes
1. The deadline to register for the 2017 Championships is JUNE 1, 2017. If you are qualified to Las Vegas and planning to attend, please go register NOW here. If you do not register by June 1, we will award your place to the next qualified puller.
2. If you are qualified to attend Championships and do not plan to attend, please let us know immediately at [email protected].
Because we need to create custom shirts with competitors’ names on them, please let us know as soon as possible if you do not plan to use your WAL Championship spot so we can inform others to attend.
3. Once you have registered, all competitors need to send a picture/scan of their valid ID to: [email protected] to compete.
Final points to remember:
- The House of Blues is an 18+ venue.
- As with all previous Championships, Las Vegas pro competitors will be required to sign an appearance, liability and likeness exclusivity agreement with a 24-month term.
- Remember: you can only compete on arm(s) that qualified for Las Vegas. You can not compete on both arms if you only qualified through on one.
For the AMATEUR classes
- Deadline to register for Las Vegas is JUNE 8, 2017. Pre-registration is required.
- No need to let us know if you are an amateur who is not attending Las Vegas.
