🚨 NASKA Family— I’m writing this morning with an update on a significant victory for all of us here at NASKA. As many of you are aware, a group of tournament promoters broke away from NASKA earlier this year, and started using our name, claiming they were the “real” NASKA. We had no choice but to take them to court, and yesterday afternoon in Florida, a jury unanimously ruled in our favor, stopping the breakaway promoters from using the NASKA name.

The NASKA you know—Larry Carnahan’s NASKA—will be the only NASKA from today on, with Hunter Lyon as President and Mr. Carnahan as Chairman of the Board.

We recognize there will likely still be some lingering confusion in the marketplace, so we will send out more communications in the days and weeks ahead.

In the meantime, NASKA is moving forward, celebrating and recognizing our 2026 NASKA Champions at the 2026 NASKA Banquet at the 2027 AKA Warrior Cup on January 21 - 23, 2027. In addition, the 2027 NASKA calendar will be published soon.

We appreciate your support, and will do our best to answer any questions you may have. Look for more information soon.
