PROGRESSION
​​We provide opportunities to progress & celebrate those who succeed.
​
New people are directed to a local club to learn how to pull safely. Click on the clubs page.
Regional Warzone events give mulitple chances to learn to pull against the best in the UK & IRELAND in a fun format. The 12 best in each warzone compete for points in the overall league.
An annual national tournament finds who the best pullers are in set weight categories.
Independent promotions organise supermatches between teams & individuals.
The PAA sends teams for IFA European & World Championships.
Some of our champions are invited to compete in international high level promotions. ​​
​​
NOVICES - what is a novice?
A novice is someone new this year (2026) or last year (2025).
In regional safety briefings we introduce the Novices to established pullers to help them progress. ​
In the first round of regional warzones (see the Warzone page) the novices go against each other so half of them get a win.
Thereafter they are in the random draw of rounds.
​​
After the second calendar year of competing a puller is no longer a novice.
They won't be against the novices in the first round of regional warzones.
​​
All pullers in each regional warzone are considered to be Tier Two pullers at the start.
They all have a chance to gain points to win the league belt.
The first six pullers to get ten pins are in the overall finals & out of the Tier 2 standings that day.
The next six to get ten pins are in the Tier Two finals.​
Countback of pins will determine who the Tier Two medals are awarded to for light, middle & heavy weights.
​​​
PRO STATUS is an acknowledgement of competence, experience & some success, a gift from the association which we make to those who have competed with us & in events that we have seen reliable results for.
​
PROSTATUS is earned by:
Winning two non national competitions (this includes outside of the UK)
Gaining three non national or Tier Two places (including outside of the UK)
Gaining two places in an overall warzone final
Gaining a place in the National championships.
Exceptional supermatch performance recommendation by Vice President or Ambasssador.
​​​​​​​​​​​​​
We are affiliated to IFA (International Federation of Armwrestling) & our team has won medals at European & World Championships. We want more medallists & as IFA grows there are likely to be qualification criteria of who we can send as well as harder opposition from more competing countries.
​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
These are the people who gained recognition since the scheme started in 2022.
