The meet will be held June 20th as advertised - deadline is the 6th nominally.

A few updates:

1: Yoke walk will not be man vs. man - it will be with separate weight classes simultaneously. Yoke weights MAY change.

2.The stone in the medley is a Husafel-type steel implement - not really a stone exactly. It was Nick Detman's old stone and now coming back to active duty. The weights will be reduced - I get the feeling people are turned off by the thought of running with what they may believe is a 300# atlas stone. It'll be lightened anyway - something like 245 for LW, 265 for HW (the thing weighs about 245 or so empty and is coffin-shaped, not round).

3. A novice division has been added for anyone who has never done a meet - or knows someone who has not and wants to try it out. LW Novice (<231) will use the Teen weights and HW novice (>231) will use the 200# open weights (essentially two weight classes handicap). If you guys know anyone who is interested in getting their feet wet but wants to test the waters in a more gradual way, here's a chance for them to try it out. They will not compete directly against the NAS athletes, though they may be in the same heat as the Teens and 200's. Their entry dates may be extended beyond the 6th since it is short notice, and of course, placing or winning or lack thereof does not qualifying one for anything, so there's no pressure.

4. Also, an auxiliary event will take place for all who wish to take part - loading sandbags over yoke crossbar in time - overall HW/LW winner takes a cash prize - this is not part of the meet but makes for a good show and puts our awesome new K2 bags to use. All competitors would get free entry, with others a $10 fee (no NAS card needed, obviously, just a 'pain-waiver')
