this will go to congress if it remains status quo. My thoughts is that UPA will adjust their status prior to that. But for me, another issue is that UPA's costs for memberships and paddle certifications process are out of control, costing almost 5 times more than USAP. This in my opinion will discourage small Paddle companies and certainly favor the larger ones. Something that seems so disingenuous cant last too long out in the open.

Precisely!! That was one of the biggest points we brought up for exactly that reason! Competition breeds innovation and they really seem to be trying to get rid of the competition by pricing out smaller companies

What's wrong with the UPA? They exist to regulate the PPA and MLP, NOT amateur/rec players. Professional players should have a different standard than rec players.

4:51 From what I’ve read, UPA is seeking nonprofit status but it’s not an instantaneous process. According to the IRS it can take 3 months to a year for approval and that’s if there are no hiccups. Have you heard anything about the veracity of this?

As we mentioned, the conversations that we've been hearing seem to have a much longer timeline than that. Sooner the better though in my opinion, if there really trying to make it as a legitimate governing body. Otherwise we just gotta go back to USAPA
