Triskaidekaphobia - Joshua's Training

[Alan H]

Unfortunately for the throwers back East, it's all about being "in" with the games owners. If you're new, you sit and wait for someone to take a chance on you.

As they used to say in NYC back in the days of Boss Tweed, "Who's your rabbi?"

You gotta be kidding.

That's insane. I can see deciding that you only have the budget for three judges, so ten people on a trig, 30 people, max. That's fine. But at the very least, just throw a couple of boards down, have the guys sign some waivers and let 'em throw. If the Games organizer doesn't have enough gear, then everybody brings their own. So what if it all doesn't weigh in exactly right?

But to my way of thinking...if somebody wants to throw, as long as it's not dangerous on the field, then THEY THROW, and it's my job as AD to facilitate making that happen. If I've only got room for 30 throwers this year, and I have 50 that want to come, then as AD, I go back to my organizing committee and fight for more space for next year... or a second throwing day..or SOME-thing.
