Hypothetically speaking... should someone I know want to put on a backyard games, he has the following questions:
There is thinking going on about a small event, but how small depends on answering some of these questions. Thanks, Tom |

1. No. Most games are not sanctioned.
2. No. Any classes you want. 3. No. For the Pro Celtic Rankings there is a requirement of 4. This does not exist for any other class. 4. Yes. It's obv easier to have a dedicated judge/scorekeeper, but it's not absolutely necessary. |

Of 20 some games a year that I attend, rougly half are athlete competing and judging with no problem. It is especially the small games not much at stake. Most other athletes in our area are judge-qualified, are honest about it, and watch out for each other. In the big games with stiffer competition and more at stake I see it as more important that judges be independant of athletes for obvious conflicts of interest.
Where the caber is such a judgement call, we've "swapped" judges just to keep it more consistent. I would also seek all athletes' approval for who is judging and throwing.
I have also seen when two groups throw together such as Masters and Lightweights, a qualified LW judges the Masters, and a qualified Master judges the Lightweights.
At small games we host, we usually waive the registration fee for the athlete who judges one of the groups.

Thanks again. I running the traps now to see if a specific small games might come to light. It's this sort of stuff I want to have lined up before I contact athletes and gauge interest.
