Armwrestling (CAWF)
Verdict
CAWF endorses WAF-spec table (104 cm tall × 91-93 cm long; padded elbow pads + pegs + touch pads); Mandated short-sleeve shirt (mid-bicep maximum); no jewelry; trimmed nails; Indoor sport shoes; chalk permitted at championship level
Why people argue about this
People often assume that the short-sleeve shirt requirement is just about comfort, but in reality, it's a crucial part of ensuring fair competition by preventing arm thickness from affecting the outcome. The confusion arises because they overlook how different sleeve lengths can give an unfair advantage or disadvantage based on individual body build and muscle development.
