UPA-A Certification is required for all professional events at PPA and MLP. Professional events include all pro divisions at PPA and MLP tournaments, including PPA Challenger Series, PPA Pro Qualifiers, PPA Tour Asia, and all PPA and MLP events in Australia.
The amateur competition will accept the UPA-A certification standards, but it is not mandatory for play as long as the paddle has USAP certification and is currently on the USAP Approved Paddle List.
