CAWL TO ARMS is a brand new, unique, action-packed, adrenaline-inducing Co-Ed sport in which teams of students from rival schools around the country face one another in exciting and grueling matches to find the most powerful male and female collegiate arm wrestlers in America! The winning team will be named the inaugural 2014 CAWL TO ARMS GRAND CHAMPIONS…and split $10,000 in cash!
Throughout the competition, team members’ classmates will be on the sidelines screaming for their favorite students as they pump up intensity levels to extreme proportions. Long-held rivalries will reignite and school spirit will be abundant…getting each student’s competitive juices flowing to the max during all of the explosive action!
This one-of-a-kind, hard-hitting College Arm Wrestling show will feature four teams with four members on each team (2 males and 2 females) as they go head-to-head (and arm-to-arm) with team members from rival schools.
Each of the teams will be a part of the new College Arm Wrestling League (also known as the new CAWL). The CAWL will crown a new winning team on an annual basis.
The series will air three 30-minute episodes. The first two episodes will be the openings rounds…and the FINALS will be in Episode 3.
Four teams will be divided into two brackets to form the CAWL. For the 2014 season, those match-ups will be between students from:

Each time an arm wrestling match is won, the winning competitor will be awarded five points for his/her team while the losing competitor will get no points.
Once those 16 matches conclude, there will be a SUDDEN DEATH Round in which each team will get to pick who they think is their best female and male arm wrestlers. The female competitors will go head-to-head with one another first in a SUDDEN DEATH match worth TRIPLE POINTS (15 points). The referee will flip a coin to determine which arm the students will have to use in that contest.
Once that match concludes, there will be a second SUDDEN DEATH match between the chosen male arm wrestlers on each team in another TRIPLE POINT bout worth 15 points. The referee will again flip a coin to determine which arm the students will have to use in that contest.
The team with the most points at the end of all 16 regular matches and The SUDDEN DEATH Round will be declared the winners.
If, however, the two opposing teams are tied in points at the end of all 16 regular matches and The SUDDEN DEATH Round, then the team who’s member scored the FASTEST win in The SUDDEN DEATH Round will be declared the winner…and move on in the tournament.
Once a team is officially declared that episode’s winner, it will move on to the finals (i.e. Episode 3) in the hopes of being declared the 2014 CAWL TO ARMS GRAND CHAMPIONS… and winning $10,000 in cash to split among the members of the team!!
The losing team in each bracket will take home consolation prizes.
The show will not just be a “wake-up call” to all sports fans, it’ll be a national…
