The new NASGA team opens up about the refresh to the platform
Please remember that only marks thrown between May 18, 2025, and May 18, 2026, will be included in the overall rankings for the games. In the United States, there will be 35 games with a Masters division between today and May 18, 2026, which will be the official cutoff date for MWC 2026 qualifying marks. @hgsisterhood seems to be the place with the most comprehensive listing right now, and is adding Canadian games as they are sent in for listing.
Scores must be entered into HeavyAthlete.com by the AD before Monday, May 18, so ADs, please ensure you have access to the site before your games, especially those with games on May 16 and 17. Athletes, please take the time to claim your profile and ensure your name is correct on Heavy Athlete.
Throw far, and we look forward to seeing you all on the fields! #mwc2026 #mwcdriewegen26 #scottishathletics #mastershighlandgames @masters_world_championship

MWC 2025 athletes, please check your emails. We got final information from the festival on parking passes and a map to show us where we can park. As well as a few other details.
We did have an email on record for all athlete so everyone should have received it.
We are under 3 weeks out and the Roster for MWC 2025 is set. No new athletes will be invited if another one has to back out.
CelticFest Mississippi is providing 3 tents for the athletes bisecting the two fields. They are 10'x50', 10'x30', and 10'x20'. There will be 100 chairs and some tables as well. You do not need to bring your own tents. We will have wristbands for the athlete and their plus 1 along with athlete meal tickets when you check in at the banquet on Friday night or your first day of competition. Thank you Suezen for providing this for all of the athletes and their families.
+1 for the MWC 2025 banquet has been reopened. Here is a video on that from the AD of the event.

Braemar rules clarification from the AD for MWC 2025
Braemar Rules for the games I am the Athletic Director to include 2025 Master's Worlds:
1) You may lift your lead foot as long as it does not advance toward the trig. The best way to ensure it does not advance toward the trig is to begin the throw with the foot against the trig.
2) Foot replacement is allowed.
3) Do not touch the top of the trig.
4) Stone must land inside the sector.
The first two are the most common questions I receive about Braemar Stone. #1 being the most disputed because of other AD's and other Judge interpretations. I keep it simple. If your foot began the throw against the trig, lifting it and shifting weight is not an advancement. It is simply a stand throw. No need in making it complicated.
I know there are other AD's and judges reading this wanting to input how they do it or were "trained". Cool story. Not interested. Run your game the way you like. I am simply letting athletes competing at my game know what to expect. I will put out a video demonstrating what my judges will be looking at for clarity. We will be consistent and clear and my judges will follow my policies.
