    Posted: 3/30/14 at 2:18pm









hey folks,
about that time of year, 5 or so weeks out. usually the first game for most in the NorthEast, like to open this up to questions and get some sort of roster going.

9 events

same as last year, $20 to compete, i'll have plenty of t shirts on hand, probably some trophies for each class, unfortunately no lunch included this year....but my friend Melanie (also her 4th year judging) will be bringing some bacon cupcakes from the bakery she recently opened.

9am start, Lincoln Park, Beautiful Sunny Albany, NY

Anticipating even more judges/helpers this year, organic growth at its finest. This is also some of these judges 4th year through, so I'm into that.

I've got a house I just finished rehabbing, Matt Hand is playing innkeeper there so if you've got an air mattress, you've got a free spot for the weekend. Just reach out to him.

Havent had enough time to raise the funds for the PRO class this year, so it'll be just like all the previous years.

AMS
Kahanic
Kaste
Hand
Meulenberg
Beech
Remeika
Sideleau
JVG (maybe)

Emborski
Gonzalez
Perez
Mendoza
Longo
McKenny
Lee
Berby
Vogel
Olsen


LADIES
Benjamin
Toniatti
James
Boyd
McGuire



EXPERIENCED
THE Dave Barron
Hapy Mayer
Scott DePanfilis
Gerard Benderoth
Tim Mullally
John Katalinas
William Donnell
Patrick Toland


Mike Landrich
Chuck Livingston
Ken Gustavson
Curtis Lake
Andrew Gillie
Ian Grassie
Andrew St John

LITEWEIGHT
Lewandowski
MacLean
Fletcher
Houghton


Thats just the folks confirmed so far. Probably a few more. Will have to break AMS and EXPERIENCED into two flights. I think the best way to do that is by referencing the rank of the 2013 database, splitting it in half and there you are.
Only going to allow a total of 20 AMS and EXPERIENCED, 10 LADIES total,  that'll be 100% based on how many times you've competed in ALB before. I dont know if anyone else has an experience with how that works out with the overall history and culture of a games, but I think it would create some good community around this games since its geographically the only spot where the NewEngland group can get together with the Western NY clan and get down.

Hey Jasen,
I actually won't be competing this year. I have this little thing called pregnancy going on, so no throwing for me. I'm not sure if Carlton plans on competing, but I will keep you posted.

please do, Landrich is the man, just know that house rules apply so expect your new implement to be broken in that day    :)
