The UPA

Good Question
I once applied to offer my services to them in any way possible, was met with an attitude I didn't care for at all, and was treated like a peon, so I could care less about them. They seemed concerned about their importance and grand scheme of things, but I haven't seen much progress for the sport because of them. Have you?

I posted this in another thread, but I have talked with the UPA and this is going to be a growth year. Maybe you should give them a call and find out what's cooking.

The UPA was bought out by Frank Alvarez and Charlie Williams is no longer involved with the UPA other than as a player and his Dragon Promotions will be sponsoring a few events. Mr. Alvarez has a lot in the works and the future looks very promising. I wouldn't expect to see anything other than the normal six tourney's this yr.... Valley Forge, US Open, BCA, Predator Open in Jacksonville, World Summit, & UPA Championships.
I haven't talked to Frank in quite awhile about it but the last we spoke, this yr was going to be more of a transition yr and he expects to have bigger, better tour starting next yr.

I don't expect to be told the actual amount, just wanted to incite some discussion.
what is any tour worth? in this case, the organization is pulling together professional male players into one arena and providing an outlet to advance their skills. i suppose you could ask that question of any tour and in my opinion, just like purchasing a house, it is worth whatever someone is willing to pay to take it on. just my two cents.

hey there snapshot - I have helped with the UPA for many years and have not met with the same response as you mentioned above. I would have to ask when you offered your services and to whom if you received such a bad response. As far as the progress for the sport not being made because of the UPA (or any tour for that matter), I am curious to know why you would think that the UPA could actually stall the progress in the sport and how.

Yeah, but won't it be worth more after the Ho deal and the impending IPO ?
