KEG TOSSING RULES

OFFICIAL RULES:
Keg Tossing

Ligonier Highland Games will host it's annual Keg Tossing competition later in the afternoon. Meet at the Main Field Tent at 4:45 pm to check in or register. Here are the basic rules:

All competitors must be present and signed-in by 5:30 pm
Every competitor will have two chances to toss the sixth barrel slim keg (approximately 17 pounds) for distance. Longest throw counts.
Distance measured from throwing boundary to first impact.
All competitors must stay behind the marked-off throwing zone. Crossing the boundary is a foul and thrower gets a zero for that toss.
Competitors may toss keg in any manner they wish, one hand or two, underhand, overhand, spinning or moving approach – all permitted.

PRIZES FOR FIRST 3 PLACES IN EACH CATEGORY PLUS PRIZE FOR LONGEST THROW FOR MEN AND WOMEN

COMPETITION CATEGORIES:

MEN: AGE 18 – 35 AGE 36 – 54 AGE 55+

PLUS WE WILL DRAW FROM THE ENTRANTS FOR A CONSOLATION PRIZE OF $25, SO YOU CAN STILL WIN EVEN IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE LONGEST TOSS!

YOU CAN PREREGISTER WITH THIS FORM. COMPLETE AND RETURN SCANNED COPY OR PHOTO VIA EMAIL OR BRING ALONG TO THE HIGHLAND GAMES.
