Division placement for the 2022 National Showcase will be determined by the dog’s season average on the closing date of the 2022 season (9/15/22)

 

This year's criteria is basically the same as last seasons’ except we are expanding who needs to attend regionals. When everyone that competes in the Showcase attends a regionals first, it makes for a more fair and competitive National Showcase experience.

 

 

 

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 2022 season are:

• Distance 15 splashes
• AR 5 splashes
• 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.
