Cruise the database and look at the results of some games and then figure out if you are a AM B or C class. I am assuming that you are younger than 40.

Depends on the size of the games. Most games in NE have pretty much a ladies, Ams, Masters and sometimes a lightweight. The Maine Highland Games is large enough that there are multiple AM classes.

Games this coming Sunday in Scotland, CT. There MIGHT also be 1 more in Plaistow, NH.

Scotland, CT is open games - pay at the gate (I think $10), sign a waiver and
you're in.

Just be sure to get there by 8:30 or so.

Finally, you don't want to do just games w/ classes. You're not going to learn anything from other C's. Open comps are great opportunities to throw w/ ppl much better than you, & most folk are generous w/ tips & tricks.

well, that depends on where you are in the class. If your at the bottom of a class, there is potentially alot to learn from the others in that class

im about in the middle of the pack of amataur c. but i got no ego ill compete in opens if i get crushed by better throwers ill probably learn a few things. (as long as i perform well enough not to embarress myself or the sport lol dont want to drop a cabre on any spectators)

i saw someone almost drop a caber on some super old woman at Costa Mesa, CA games before. me and a friend were standing a few feet behind her. we ran for it, and she dived to the ground right beside the table she was sitting at. saved her life
