Three months from the World Pro 2010, in Abu Dhabi, the organizers released the news prize money has been bolstered. The absolute champion of the main division (purple, brown and black belts), for example, will take home 12 thousand dollars.
And anyone planning to compete in California to get an all-paid trip to the Emirates had better hurry. The discount for West Coast USA qualifiers ends this Thursday at noon, local time.
Sign-ups without discount end on the 18th. Find out more by clicking here.
On the eve of the tryouts on the 24th, in Santa Cruz, a rules seminar will be held by Alvaro Mansor, from 4pm to 7pm on the 23rd.
