We are just about a month away from the World Championship. We would like to wish everyone going Good Luck. At this time I believe that we have about 33 people on Team USA. I received an e-mail from the Sec/Gen of WAF and he stated that they are expecting about 40 countries to be in attendance. I have been told that Canada has a full team going so the North American Armwrestling Federation(NAAF) will be well represented at this years event. As far as I know there will be drug testing in Japan. Not sure how many or which classes will be tested but this is a step in the right direction. Next years World will be in England and the Unified National Championship will be held in Denver, CO.

It is time to vote for your choice for Armwrestler of the Year. There is a ballot enclosed with this newsletter for you to vote with. Your vote counts, but only if you send it back.Allballots must be received by December 15^th. The results will be posted in the January Newsletter. Also the results from the 2005 Points Championships. As of now the leader in the points race is CindyLooney.
