The Professional Armwrestling League will also participate in the history of this unusual event . At the request of Alexander Filimonov- the President of the Russian Armwrestling Association the PAL team will be responsible for TV part of this tournament. The responsibility for preparing and performing TV broadcast in a similar manner as it was at Nemiroff World Cup 2011 will belong to them.

In the lobby it is heard that Moscow tournament will be a competition for the annual Professionals World Cup - Nemiroff World Cup organized in Poland. So we asked the main organizer of the Nemiroff World Cup - Igor Mazurenko what he thinks of that:

“A-1 tournament is not a competition for us. Quite the contrary. We cooperate with this tournament to make its organization be as good as possible. We have different organizational priorities, and we give a stronger emphasis on marketing. I believe that with such a brand as Nemiroff World Cup we will not have any market competition for a long time.

Our tournament is enough rooted in the armwrestling environment. It’s a debut of the Moscow tournament on the armwrestling arena and we wish them with all our hearts, to keep the level of organization and not to fall out of the calendar of armwrestling events”.

The organizers of this tournament, proposed quite an interesting system of competition (tournament rules are HERE). The first eight of the Open class, both in the left and right hand competition will fight in a kind of arfights. In this way, the organizers want to eliminate a possibility of positioning athletes in the tournament ladder. Will they succeed? The tournament will show.

An interesting fact is that the winner of the left and right hand category and the open category can come back home with a prize of $ 23 thousand USD.

A brilliant move of this tournament is to organize a separate category for disabled. It is the only event of a kind in the world, which is so committed in armwrestlers of disabled categories.
