- Beginners means no podium at any competition before
- Novice means you can have competed before, but absolutely no podium finishes in novice or above - no age limitations
- Open is for anyone who has podiumed in a novice stone competition, however, any 1st timer, beginner, or novice can opt in to compete in Open (no age limit)
