What a Punjab-level Association Would Typically Do

Based on what other provincial sports bodies do in Pakistan, a Punjab Tug of War Association (or equivalent provincial unit) would likely be responsible for:

• Organising inter-district, inter-college, inter-school tug of war competitions within Punjab province.

• Selecting and preparing provincial teams (Punjab) to compete in national championships under PTWF.

• Affiliation and registration of clubs, teams, schools within the province.

• Establishing local rules and adherence to TWIF/ PTWF standards (weights, rope specifications, categories etc).

• Liaising with PTWF, Sports Board Punjab, Pakistan Olympic Association for funding, training, officials (referees), coaching camps.

• Elections of provincial office-bearers (President, Secretary, Treasurer, etc) and constitution governing terms.
