There are two techniques for throwing stones: Braemar, where athletes remain stationary, and Open, where athletes can use any throwing style as long as it is safe. The athlete enters the back of the painted box, makes their throw, and then exits out of the back of the box. Each athlete has three attempts, and the athlete who throws the farthest distance wins.

Caber

Cabers, which resemble telephone poles, are obtained by cutting down trees. They are available in various sizes, ranging from 16 to 20 feet in length, and weighing between 45 to 175 pounds. Before the game, the athletic director selects one caber for each division. During the game, athletes are required to pick up the caber from the tapered end, take at least three steps, and attempt to flip it over. The athlete’s performance is evaluated by the angle of the caber if it’s not flipped over, and by the hour on a clock if it is flipped end-over-end. The highest score an athlete can receive is 12:00, which represents a perfect flip of the caber.
