Our primary focus will be on our up and coming TV series, meaning the UAL 7 tournament will be postponed until further notice. The UAL is hosting the USAF Nationals on June 26th-28th @ Harrah's, Reno and may have a few surprise attractions. It's important to have folks book early to lock in the great $59 rate. *****Quantities are limited***** Call – in: 1-888-726-6311 / code: S06USAF Here is the internet code: www.totalrewards.com/hotel-reservations?propCode=REN&groupCode=S06USAF IMPORTANT READ BELOW We would like to thank our loyal athletes and supporters. Effective IMMEDIATELY we're welcoming any athlete (signed or not) to participate in any UAL tournament with money pay-outs at the same level as the contracted athletes. However the UMU's for Championship Belts and Major Prize Money which is now being scheduled for National Television will be limited to signed UAL Athletes only! In addition any UAL contracted athlete can now compete in any open event with the exception of any round robin, supermatch or ultimate matchup. If you would like to compete in a Super Match, round robin, special invitational only event or Ultimate Match Up outside of the UAL you must get prior approval from UAL Management and represent UAL by wearing it's branded shirt at the specified event. UAL athletes will also be allowed with pre approval to compete in The Armwars Super Series in Europe! We realize that our negotiations have taken longer than expected. UAL wants to ensure sustainability for our great Sport and the new objective is to create a win-win for all armwrestlers as we explode the Sport and the Ultimate Armwrestling League!

I'm guessing a title holder or two wanted to prove themselves outside the UAL supermatches, in addition to flack from the community at large regarding trophies. I think it is a pretty smart decision. Lets hope it doesn't turn out like Liddell/PRIDE for you guys, haha. J/K

The WAL tournament pullers are asked to sign a waiver and could be shown on TV. I am assuming that this is still not an event UAL pullers can pull in?

Great Decision.
I am sure the UAL pullers agree whole heartedly. Will be interesting to see the outcome at some tournaments of the UAL belt holders and how it will affect the ultimate match ups in the future. With this new format put in place by Robert, the UAL will probably double its signed athletes. Awesome to hear that UAL is giving back to the armwrestling community. Shows great leadership in my opinion
