•  Top veteran in each open division (of distance only) also earns an invite (does not roll down if Vet is in the top 3)
•  Place in the top 3 at a 2022 Regionals 
• Earn an advanced or excellent title during the 202 season (9/16/22 thru 9/15/23)

 

 

 

Division placement for the 2023 Regionals will be determined by: The dog’s season average on the closing date of the Regionals they attend (the Tuesday prior to the start date of a Regionals at 11:59 CST).

 

 

 

Season average  =

in Distance (average of 15 best jumps),

in Air Retrieve - (average of 5 best AR scores),

In order to accept an invitation you must also have completed the minimum required splashes.

 

The minimum required splashes for the 2023 season are:

• HD 5 splashes

Once an invite is earned you can go to any regional and attend multiple regionals but a dog can only place 1st-3rd in a discipline (AR/HD/Distance) at one regional. If you place at another regional that placement and invite will roll down.
