Hi ADs out there! It's nearly March, nearing spring (especially according to Punxatawney Phil), and the 2016 Calendar of Games is soooooo empty of many of the regulars: Kansas City; Davenport (Quad Cities); Waterloo, IA; Pleasanton; Albuquerque; Valkyrie games in ID; and the list goes on. Unfortunately, from what I know so far, it looks like KC and Sioux Falls will be the same weekend, as will Waterloo, IA and Topeka, KS. Bummer: I may not equal my yearly participation from years past due to such conflicts. I ask everyone to reach out to the ADs they know to nudge them about getting their games posted so we can get on with planning our season's schedule. Thanks!

I will piggyback on this post because I was thinking the same thing. While Im no top flight thrower who fills out a whole schedule of games, me and the Fam like to plan our vacay's around a games and I was seriously worried when I saw how empty the 2016 schedule was...only 2 or 3 games scheduled per month across all of N. America??....I know we lost a long standing games up in VT this year but hopefully there are not too many more casualties out there and they are just slow in posting !!

The last week must have seen a lot of action, it is looking fairly fleshed out now, and I just added in a handful of TX and LA games.

Highland Games - The drama is so high, because the stakes are so low.
