HI everyone
The Provincial Championships are approaching quickly. They will be taking place on Saturday May 6th 2023.

Adults and Youth please help us out by pre- registering online using the following link:

https://www.manitobaarmwrestling.com/registration/

Online registration helps out in the following ways.
1. Speeds up the weigh in process because you don’t have to fill out your sheets. All you have to do is sign.

2. Makes it easier to fill out the drawsheets because we can read the names more easily.

3. Cuts down on errors with the drawheets

4. Gives us an idea of how many people will be participating so we can prepare for the proper number of tables and referees.

Remember even if you are unsure which weight class you are in, you can change it when you arrive to weigh in.
If you end up not being able to attend, we will simply remove your registration.
If you are unable to register online you can still register in person. You can also text me at 204-218-8495 and I can register you online.
