How many times do 63 or 70 kg Americans compete in these tournaments to achieve a ranking? Do you ever have a 57 kg? How do we get in on it so the rankings in the lower classes could be more accurate?

Hello Everyone,
First of all results from Worlds or Europeans are counted indirectly when it comes to PAL rankings. I think that it is sometimes hard to choose the better competitor in one round fight, there are cases that result is not fair. If fighters meet in 6 round duel the result of it should be independent from a) from wrong referee decision, b) influence of coincidence.
PAL ranking does not contain competitors that will not fight in PAL, didn’t fight in it or do not want to fight in PAL. For example lets take Slovakian fighters, in 70 kg category there is not Lubomir Jagneszak from Slovakia. The reason for this is that he was forbidden by the president of his national federation to participate in PAL. But in 78 kg there is Marian Dalak from Slovakia who wants to fight in PAL although his federation’s president refusal. Also Jan Germanus sooner or later will fight in PAL.
Professional fights in up to 63kg (138 lb) and 70 kg (154 lb) weren’t yet conducted. We type according to our own suggestions. And this also concerns Cvetan Gashevsky on left hand, who won with Silvers. According to us in 6 round duel he wouldn’t have a win with Chad. But his abilities on right hand are much better, and thus his higher position in this division.
Up till now there wasn’t a reliable ranking because there weren’t such type of fights. All the ranking will be fully accurate when all the fights in particular divisions will be performed.
The rankings in 63 kg and 70 kg will change after ZLOTY TUR Professionals World Cup this year. In order to get to such ranking in this divisions one should attend ZLOTY – this would be a form of presentation of one’s abilities.
We do not intend to establish category up to 57 kg. Next year The League is going to launch category up to 60 kg women. And this way professional fights of ladies will start.

Igor, is it possible to have a tournament here in the states that could be included in the PAL rankings? I know some of the guys on the list are Americans and probably can not afford to constantly go over seas to compete in your events and keep their spot or move up in the rankings. If possible, do you think you could have some kind of United States Representative throwing PAL Tournaments for you? Maybe Travis? Just curious.

Chris is on the right track. The light-light guys never get any respect. I love watching these guys. I also know just how F'in tough they are . Thanks to Not so gentle Benji. Chris, you and Benji have to pull after the nationals. I saw on Armtv how good your left is and Benji just rips me up Lefthanded.

From next year PAL will organize professional fights in USA. For now two fights are planned, but it can be more. We have our representative in USA. He is not connected with armwrestling directly. He is working in showbusines. It is very serious person.
Of course we will invite USA competitors. By the way, no matter where PAL is organizing professional fights, we always cover costs of travel, board & lodging and also money price for win and for loss.
The only tournament by PAL that competitors go on their own cost is ZLOTY TUR Professional World Cup. This is also tournament where PAL meets new people to the rankings.

Hello Chris,
About 63 and 70 kg category, we had too few fights to launch duels in this weight categories. People like to watch heavyweights. And this is what we started from. Along with increasing interest of the public with this system of fights we will launch all the weight categories and also ladies category.
