Yup, that's the way to do it, If there are any guys down your neck of the woods who have done highland games speak to them and they should be able to help you out with tips on technique.

I'm assuming that it will be the usual with the events where there are two weights that one rep with the heavier weight beats as many reps of the lower weight?

How can you cap competitors on a qualifier, that could mean the top dog in Britain doesn't get to compete because he's not in the fastest 14 in his class to send of a form?

Do the points on log, for example, just go towards placings for the log event, or to your overall points for the comp?

In total agreement. Capping numbers on a qualifier is a nonsense. If there is too much interest then hold more qualifiers, or find a biggr venue. Speed at sending an email in no way displays strength, so it makes a mockery of the whole comp imo

Are you suggesting the discussion is bulls**t or the scenario?

I dont see how anyone can lay claim to a national title when the qualifiers were capped and the best guys could miss out. Would make winning it a bit hollow imo

It would be even worse if the Northerns where capped and the Southerns not!
