President's Bulletin:
Updated 5th August 2026
Message from Marian Capla, IFA Secretary regarding changes to the entry process for IFA WORLDS:
"Dear friends,
let me inform you that after a tremendous work we are ready to use the new way of the registration and keeping the informations about the athletes and competitions and have documented our history.
For the upcoming World Championship here is the quick guide how to register your teams:
1. (INSTRUCTIONS HERE FOR ME to set up for UK)
2. Send this link to all your athletes to create their profiles
https://armwrestlingid.com/manual/player
In this case you do not need register all the athletes, just to approve their application.
Once they are approved by your federation, they can register to the WCH.
3. Approve the athletes profiles
4. Once athlete profile is approved they can register to the WCH.
5. Approve their registrations (check classes and if they are eligible for the WCH)
6. Once all athletes are registered and approved please send me email and I will issue the payment notice for your federation.
IMPORTANT
The athlete profile stays in the system so they can use it for all upcoming competition and check the live results and check all their history."

As you can see, this involves some input from you rather than me for the entries. The dashboard of armwrestlingid has a lot of functions - it tracks results & also has entry information for international events. I'm told some of this will come online later. I send results from PAA competitions to the administrators so when you sign in you'll see some there that are already on this PAA webpage.
There will be questions & no doubt some teething problems. I do not run the armwrestlingid site, so corrections or change of entries will be direct between you & them rather than with me as intermediary. I like this system & think most of you will too.
I'm making slow progress in getting details for our nationals in place, I have dozens of small things to do but starting now means it's not frantic nearer the time. There will be triple elimination this year to give everyone an extra chance in their category to get to the final. It will make the day longer, afterwards I'll run a poll for you all tell me whether you think it is worthwhile to do again or not.
Armgods Wales have the card published for 12th September - you could watch it live or from behind the sofa via livestream on their website www.armgods.com or their app. They've also added a warzone on the morning before the evening show. Details on their website, enquiries to them not me please.
Next PAA WARZONE is Crusader Carnage in the Swindon area (see events calendar) the weekend after - (19th September) with the finals the following month in Birmingham. The Road Warrior Warzone belt is going home with someone, if not you - who?
See you down the road.
