Anyone can compete in these events, but OAA members will also accumulate points for their region. The points are earned in the following manner.

• One point is awarded for each arm the competitor pulls with at a tournament. For instance, if a competitor pulls will both the right and left arms, he automatically earns 2 points. However, if he pulls more than one class with the same arm, he only earns 1 point for that arm.
• Additional points are awarded to armwrestlers who finish in the top five in their category. 1^st place = 5 points; 2^nd place = 4 points; 3^rd place = 3 points; 4^th place = 2 points; 5^th place = 1 point. If a competitor pulls two categories with the same arm, he is only awarded points for one category (the one with the higher placing).

At the end of the year at the Provincial Championships, the pullers from the region with the most points will be awarded the title of "Ontario's Strongest Armwrestling Region". (The Provincial Championships also count for points.)
