Here is where we stand. We have a limit of 15/flight. Malcolm has agreed that we can make the Sr. Masters class open to anyone 50 and over. So, what we need is some (at least 2) of the guys over 50 who are currently signed up for the Masters class to move to the Sr. Masters if they so desire. Any takers?

A quick glance at the masters list and all that comes to mind is "there will be blood"

Holy crap, I better bring the big bottle of advil

Hot diggity Dog two grisled veterans joing the masters ranks for SOMD-Gene Flynn-always dangerous,and a good caber tosser as well as all-around athlete..and my main man B.McClain...woo hoo bring the dog's out wooo hooooo!

I will move to the Senior Master's group.

What are the weights for the senior masters?

I wouldn't worry too much about getting the masters list down to 15 - with this many old guys, somebody's going to end up hurting themselves and pulling out.

Indeed...but, we must play nice!

lol, Adam you're just not right

I'm trying not to be one of those guys

Good question about the weight of the weights used in senior masters. I would assume that since it is 50 and over, the same weights as regular masters would be used. The lighter weights don't come into play until age 60, I think.

Malcolm?

Frank you use the same weights-you just get to use your walker inside the box actually I think youre right-masters over 60 use lighter weights

I'm not sure, this is a question for Malcolm. I just want as many people to be able to throw as possible.

I would guess that the 0ver 50 group would toss their respective weights: 50-59 the regular master's weights, and 60+ the normal senior masters weights?

Anyway, I'll move (not yet, though!) before the Games if it will open a space, but I would prefer to stay where I am for the time being and see if others want to make the move. No one should be denied a chance to throw because of groupings-- we'll work it out!

Cruel, but true.

Alex, that was definitely NOT kinder than necessary!

My bad. Kisses!

I had figured that sig line was just her being sarcastic.

Alex? Sarcastic?

Everyone, make sure you keep an eye on the lists that are stuck at the top of the page. From now on, that's how I'm going to track and update the registration lists...it just works a lot easier that way.

Yes, Frank that is what I promised Fred. We will score the oldest geezers, 60+ separately. They use 35# and 20# weights and 12# stone everything else is the same in Games that have a Senior Masters Class.
Malcolm

Sounds like a plan, Malcolm.

And Alex-- it's Frank, not Shirley.

Hey, Chuck-- good to hear from you; sounds like it is going to be one heck of a Games! And thanks for moving up to the Sr. Masters; that eliminates the waiting list and everyone gets to throw-- you da man, my friend! See you at the Vierra clinic--

--Frank

Whoops-- well, it would have eliminated the original wait list-- looks like more guys were added. Dang, Malcolm, you got a popular games on your hands!

Malcolm-mania is out of control...it...must...be...stopped...
