I was going to come on here and give a huge thumbs up for the changes in the qualification process for the Pro class at Enumclaw. I went to the 'Claw last year, and although I won't probably ever go again, I thought it was nice that steps were being taken for a fair qualification process should I ever want to go again. I thought it was nice to know that a games existed where how far you threw at legit games, AND ONLY HOW FAR YOU THREW (at legit games), mattered in terms of getting invited.
That seemed, to me, where Wally sat.
Now, I see that we can take the 'Claw down as hope for a games where a qualification database means something. Now it seems that the ADs can choose people on their own whims. I get this; ADs can do whatever they want, but I feel that a rankings board shouldn't even exist if it is not going to be used solely to issue invitations to said event. Anyway, this news disappointed me and I felt like something should be said. And fix the damn caber scoring while you're at it. It's the only event where doing poorly hurts you. It doesn't make sense. |

Yes, Colin and I asked Craig to take the North American Scottish
Athletics Championship ranking board down.
There were many issues raised regarding the ranking board, most recently in
this thread. The ranking board, as it was
set up by Wally, did not filter out scores from games that did not follow the
rules dictated by Wally. The athletes
for Enumclaw 2017 have been selected, and all of those who registered where
shown the modified ranking board we used to select them, complete with a detailed explanation. Therefore, the NASGA ranking board was no longer
necessary. After Portland and Enumclaw, Colin and I will have the time to evaluate which amateur games should be considered and how that would/could be done on a ranking board. Once we know how we will proceed, we will post here and let you all know. |

I've just updated the posting to show the confirmed athletes for the games. If you made a cut but don't see confirmed next to your name, please check your email to find the one I sent to you asking for confirmation. If you already replied back with the affirmative but still don't see confirmed next to your name, please go ahead and re-reply to make sure I get it.

The Queen speaks truth. We're still accepting Volunteers for the Claw. Please send me an email as she mentioned and we'll get it worked out.

I just updated the athlete list for the games with the most recent confirmations and such. Greig O'Connor made the Men's A cut and I've been trying to get hold of him to get his confirmation of yes or no but I've gotten no email or call back. If any of you can give him a poke for me that would be appreciated.
