PAL offices in Las Vegas are now officially open. The new, fourth office is located some 5 kilometers away from the famous Vegas Strip. But that’s not the only attraction.

The office itself is 150 square meters large, and inside it we find a photographic and movie studio, a few manager offices, a conference room , a spacious reception area and two guest rooms. There is also a large kitchen and two restrooms.

On the 10^th October also formed was World Armwrestling Championships (WAC) company. The company is in charge of the new TOP 16 project. What is TOP 16?

For now it’s a secret – says Igor Mazurenko. – At this time I can only reveal that it will be a series of tournaments, featuring the world’s 16 best armwrestlers. TOP 16 is composed of two divisions – 8 champions and 8 pretenders to the title. Our basic plan is for TOP 16 to be two rounds, four times; all in all 8 tournaments a year. First event is planned to take place in Las Vegas, May 2014. We will reveal the names of the contestants in a few weeks.

The co-founders of WAC are Tomasz Rachwald from Warsaw, and PAL - with Igor Mazurenko and main manager of PAL USA – Richard Erog. Richard Erog will be in charge of armwrestling film distribution and armwrestling events worldwide broadcast.
