Scoring Information

..Run Information and Scoring for Regionals

All Regionals will run in the following order each day:

  1. Hydro Dash
  2. Distance 1st Splash
  3. Jr Handlers
  4. Distance 2nd Splash
  5. Air Retrieve

All briefings are mandatory so that we can have participants sign waivers, take a roll call, check run order, and get AR start distances.

All Disciplines are run in groups by division, with Open dogs first, then Veteran dogs, and then Lap within that division. We will run Premier down to Novice. Check the event description for order in each division(A-Z or Z-A by dogs’ name).
The division your dog competes in will be determined by their Season average in that discipline at the close of registration (Tuesday 11:59pm) before their regionals starts.  
You must jump in the posted order, or you will forfeit that turn. The only exception to the order is when a handler (primary handler, not holder) has a conflict with another dog they own. In those cases, we will move the second dog down so there are 5 dogs in between them. The run order will be posted the day before, and if something is missed, the mandatory briefing is your last chance to make adjustments.

Start times are an ESTIMATE. It is the competitor’s responsibility to keep track of the boards and briefing times. We will communicate via email, Facebook, and onsite announcements.

Rules for each discipline:

  • Distance
    • May only take a practice on your first splash of the day.
    • Dogs are ranked according to their longer score of the 2 splashes. If there is a tie, the following protocol will be used:
      • 2nd Longest splash score.
      • Higher Recent Average.
      • Higher Season Average.
  • Air Retrieve
    • No practice
    • Can start no less than 1 ft below your SEASON average (minimum distance for Open is 6′, Lap 4′)
    • Dogs are ranked according to their highest grab from their splash. (Dogs must have at least one successful grab to place.) If there is a tie, the following protocol will be used:
      • Least number of overall misses
      • Higher first miss
      • Higher Recent Average
      • Higher Season Average
  • Hydro Dash
    • No practice (although there never is)
    • Dogs are ranked according to their best (fastest) score from their splash, which is defined as the lowest non-zero score. If there is a tie, the following protocol will be used:
      • Next fastest score on the 2nd run of the Splash.
      • Fastest Recent Average.
      • Fastest Season Average.

Dogs posting a score in a division above the one their are competing in will be placed in that higher division. Dogs posting scores in a division below the one their are competing in will be places with the division their season average puts them in. (you can move up into another division but you can’t move down.)

Standings will be posted each night at the event.

Ribbons will be presented at the end of the competition on the last day of the event. (Please give the admin folks time to double-check scores.)
It’s the competitor’s responsibility to pick up their ribbons or make arrangements for someone else to do so. We will not ship them.
