            NORTH AMERlCAN SCOTTlSH ATHLETlCS CHAMPlONSHlP
                            ENUMCLAW (the Claw!), WA, USA
                                   JULY 28th and 29th, 2012
As has been done in the past, our NASGA ranking page will be used to determine the twelve (12) best North American male applicants to be invited (however, neither Canada nor the US will be represented by fewer than two [2] athletes from that page.)  Applications will be available through June 20th at the Claw's web site.  lf you have any questions, call me at (206) 938-3934 or email me at heavys@sshga.org.

This year, the Elite Women's Championship has been extended to two (2) says.  The six (6) top ranked women that apply will be invited (however, both Canada and the US will be represented by at least one [1] athlete.)

There are also five (5) Pre-Elite classes: Men's A and Women's A on Saturday, and Master Men 40-49 and 50&up and Master Women on Sunday.  There is room for twelve (12) athletes each in Men's A and Master Men, but Women's A and Master Women are limited to six (6) each.  Last year's Pre-Elite Class Champs, Runners-up, Caber Champs and those who set new Field records will be invited first.  From the balance of the applicants, we will then invite the best athletes.  Further vacancies, if any, will be invited by promptness of application.  As always, applicants not making the cut will have their application fee returned.

Is B class filled up already? I just looked for it and there isn't a selection for it.

Sorry, Josh.  Men's B fell victim to the expansion of the Elite Women's class.  As did Women's B!  There's only so much room under the Big Top!!

Wally! I want to hit the A's on Sat and the Masters on Sunday but it is entirely possible I will have no 42 marks for distance or height before then. Suggestions?

Think of it as the E-claw incentive plan!

Easy!  Just leave it off of the schedule!!  Just kidding.  You know how small the arena is at the Claw.  l had to play with the schedule since last year's Games to be able to come up with a second day for Elite Women.  The B classes were dropped to make way for it.  Pretty much the way that Men's C was dropped to make way for day 2 of Elite Men.

  Thumbs Up Offer accepted.  You'll have the best seat in the arens.  Get your friends to join you.  The Claw would be impossible to run without the help of volunteers like yourself!! Clap

Sean, just send in your 56 marks (be sure to indicate that's what they are.)  l can figure how they'd equate to a 42.

Double your entry, double your fun!!

Thanks big boy! I just figured if I'm making the trip anyway, might as well make it a 2 day games :) Hard for me to get a crippling sunburn in one day, but two? Candy.

Thanks Mike and Duncan....
Well as B class Champion and Caber Champion I get an invite. SO yes I would like to come back as an A. The B class has been a great place for so many guys including myself to get a firm hold on great competition. It's just sad that it wont be there. There are so many guys who got there start there and also the regulars who came back every year!

Wally - I'd like to register for masters 50+, but won't have my first game and measures for another month (Victoria).    What's the likelihood that class will be closed out by then? Thanks.

lt's not like the 'old days.'  There's a lot more Games around here now for those that are just starting out.

For those 'regulars,' this can be their incentive plan!

Greg, l'd say just go ahead and enter.  Where the form asks for marks, put in a zero (0).  Remind me about what's happening in the space for 'Records held.'  Then email me your marks when you get them.  By doing this, you'll at least meet our 3rd qualifier, 'Promptness of application.'  Once again, applicants not selected will have their application fee returned.
Quote What's the likelihood that class will be closed out by then?
None.  Classes are not closed until after 11:59 pm on June 20th.

The way lnvites go is:
Class A, last year's Champions, Runners-up, 2nd Runners-up and Caber Champions.
Masters, last year's Champions, Runners-up and Caber Champions.
Class B, last year's Champions and Caber Champions.

Sorry if l needlessly got you excited.

Hey Wally,

No problem, I will still be registering for the A's and will just have to qualify the old fashioned way.  The fault is mine for letting Jay beat me last year.

Thanks
