Explanation of the rankings:
Don't ask me why, but I decided to try and do a rankings.  And this is what I've come up with.  The numbers for each event represent the rank of that person as shown on the corresponding page.  Add these up, and the athlete with the lowest total is the highest rank.  For a large number of athletes I have no sheaf performance, so I decided to calculate the overall without the sheaf as well.
All of the performances used in this ranking were taken my my website, and from the SAAA website.  If you had a result that's better than what's shown here, all you have to do is contact the AD of that games, and send me the FULL RESULTS of at least your class at that games.
This list is by no means complete.  At least one top athlete that I know of is not on the list because I have no results for him.  Also, I have not included every A athlete that I do have numbers for.  This was a pretty hefty undertaking, and my main goal in this first draft was to get at least the top 15 and whoever else would have some effect upon the top 15.  I am sure that I have overlooked several people that are very worthy of this list, and I am truly sorry.
If your name is not on this list, and you would like it to be, first of all, get the results from your AD and send them in.  Secondly, make a list of your best marks FROM THIS WEBSITE OR THE SAAA WEBSITE, showing the location of your throws, and send them in an e-mail to me.  The next time I do an update, I will include you.
These results are for people competing in A class only.  I don't have time to do all of the classes.  I may do a women's ranking, I may not.  If someone else wants to do a ranking for a different class, I will post it on this website.
Finally, I am absolutely, positively sure that this list is riddled with errors.  Feel free to e-mail me with corrections.
