A) General Rules
- The throwing area will include a line behind which all throws must be made. Feet must remain behind the line during the throw and the follow through. An accuracy measuring tape will extend from the throwing line to a distance of 200 feet.
- Each throw will be recorded as the total distance thrown, minus the distance from the accuracy measuring tape on either side of the tape.
- Each participant will be given 3 throws, all of which will be recorded. A competitor may skip attempts and the best attempt will count.
- In the event of a tie, the second best throw will determine the winner.
