thanks Hapy.
validation on what I planned anyway.
if you do a little research though, you'll find -22lb Braemars in the rankings though.

Use what you've got mang. 

If you cant throw with the rock you love, hunny, throw the rock you're with, throw the rock you're with!

I don't get carded at the super market when I buy beer WHICH IMPLIES the cashiers think I am over the age of 37...

I blame my early onset male pattern "sexiness" (baldness)

Love me some Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young!

Hahaha...discretion is the better part of valor.

Good luck everyone.  Sorry cannot make it.  

22lb minimum for the Rankings is correct. 

The ranking rules are really only noted in the Celtic and Claw rankings, since that's the only place that they really matter.

You could technically throw a 16lb Braemar Stone and leave it in the Am Rankings if you were so ego driven that you needed to do that to move up a couple spots.  I suspect any game that looks at the rankings would quickly figure that out though. 

If you use the rankings to tell your wife/girlfriend/kids/co-workers/etc that your "ranked #x" and that light stone makes you feel better about moving up a spot, then knock yourself out.

Just because I use the NASGA database to make my high school students impressed with me doesn't make me a bad person

Hey, Jasen. I'll definitely be there Saturday with the wife and cub in tow. It's been almost two years for me, so I'm REALLY looking forward to the pitch this weekend. Also looking forward to seeing everyone I met at Glasglowlands in 2010 again.

Going to be perfect weather for throwing. :)

And for what it's worth, it doesn't matter to me what anything weighs. My throws are small and weak, so if I throw 6 meters or 6.5 meters, it's all good.

Cool, looking forward to seeing you!

Kind of a shame about your family, though. Mrs. Bear would've loved to see your kids again. :)

Right now I have had it up to here with my profession.  I just want to throw stuff!!!  Actually I want to smash stuff.  Can we have a smash event of some type?
