To get an invite to 2024 Regionals:

 

  • Place in the top 3 of any division (open and lap)  in any discipline (Distance, Air Retrieve and/or Hydrodash) at a 2024 Qualifier event. (Invites roll down)  They do not determine the division you compete in at Regionals
  •  Top 3 veterans in each open division also earn an invite 
  •  Place in the top 3 at a 2023 Regionals 
  • Earn an advanced or excellent title during the 2024 season

 

 

 

Division placement for the 2024 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 HydroDash - (average of 5 best HD scores)

 

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

 

The minimum required splashes for the 2024 season are:

 

  • Distance 15 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.
