Entering Results for Challenge Stones

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic


   I was just wondering if when we throw challenge stones instead of Braemar stones... for example the Portland Stone at 48lbs & the Tacoma Stone at 58lbs (women) heavier for men, should they still be entered under the Braemar? In the USA there is no weight adjustments for heavier stones, so it just looks like we threw 8-10 feet for a Braemar & the points are very low. This affects the overall nasga ratings so I was just wondering if they should be included? I noticed some games that do challenge stones do not include them. Just wanted to know the correct thing to do as to not mess up the new ranking systems you have put into place. Thanks so much

	Since this is a different event, do not enter them as the Braemar stone. You can enter the results in the notes section if you want to include them somewhere.

	If you check the box "do not include in rankings" will that work?

	That will work also. But unless it was really a standing stone put, I wouldn't enter it as the Braemar.
