Fragment from Armpower.NET – EAF CONGRESS:

” The issue of the WAF website, which was to be sold to WAF for $ 50,000 by a person associated with the previous WAF management, was also settled. EAF recommended to create a completely new website for WAF.

The www.worldarmwrestlingfederation.com website is no longer the official website of the WAF.

The current address of the official WAF website is:

www.waf-armwrestling.com

Another important change is connected with the number of doping tests. Instead o 20, there will be 40 doping tests carried out at European and World Championships. This number (40) of doping tests will also apply to disabled athletes.

Next issue raised during the Congress was the aspiration and accreditation of our sport in SPORTACCORD and formal issues related to that. Not all national federations have provided the necessary documentation to the EAF. So it was decided that if the national federation fails to submit the required documents by June 15, it will be obliged to pay a penalty of 2000 euros and will be deprived of the right to vote at the next congress.

The issue of new elbow pads will be discussed at the September Congress of the WAF.

Yesterday’s Congress was of course videotaped and we will soon present its course point by point. “

Leonard Harkless – northeastboard:

” There has been a lot of talk about WAF and rules lately and as the WAF Head Referee, I would direct everyone to the USAA site.
On the site is the current rules of WAF. The WAF site has incorrect rules on it that I have been trying to get fixed since last July so if you want the current and complete rules go to usarmwrestling.com

This is the wordage for dropping below the table.

2) Competitors cannot drop the competing shoulder below the level of the elbow pad when in a neutral or losing position. This will be considered a dangerous position.
The neutral position defined as the starting position down to 2/3 of the way to the losing side of the table.
The humorous bone of the competing arm will not be inclined down and therefore elevating the elbow and dropping the shoulder below the elbow pad.

World Armwrestling Federation Website – How I see the quick solution: New domain and site

Solution

You’ve probably already read these articles from Armpower.NET:

WHERE IS WAF’S WEBSITE? │ WAF’S WEBSITE – CONTINUATION…

 

  • I believe everyone agrees that this is a very strange situation.

 

  • We really need an official working World Armwrestling Federation website, therefore I believe there is a quick solution for this situation: buying a NEW domain like wafarmwrestling.com (available right now) or other similar name you can think of  (waf-armwrestling.com is already registered by TUCOWS DOMAINS INC.) and making it the NEW official website of World Armwrestling Federation.

 

  • The name of the NEW domain is not very important, because all the armwrestling sites will put links and point to the NEW official domain (whatever the new name will be) of the World Armwrestling Federation, therefore will reach no.1 in Google in a short period of time.
