    I'm pretty sure this is correct. It's one of the either to move up. Either get the PD title, or get 3 Q's in each game other than Standard. Something like that.
    What??!! Are you serious? BTW, I love the "gaah" icon now. It's so fitting here on agility a lot.lol.

    I would move up in everything if Koji were my dog UNLESS one of these things is true:

    1--You don't feel like you understand the rules of Snooker
    2--You will feel totally discouraged if you are in Advanced Gamblers, for example, for several years. I moved Bentley up to Masters Gamblers as soon as he had his AAD (meaning 3 Standard Qs, and 1 in the games) even though I knew it would mean not Qing in that event for a long, long time (again, in our example, he got his last Gamblers Q 14 months ago).

    Cheryl is correct on the first part.

    The second part, to be honest, I've never even though about. I guess because we do USDAA so often that I never had to think about it because we ran under so many different judges. Sort of makes me nervous. I think maybe it's time to get the USDAA title tracker from USDAA.com!

    Just be sure that when you do move up that you have everything that USDAA requires. I agree it isn't plainly obvious. Any Q you get at the next level will become null & void if USDAA disagrees with your calculations.

    Thanks Ashley. I'm assuming if, let's say I get his title (3 standard, 1 in each game), I don't have to move him up in Gamblers? I can stay in Starters for a bit longer for that one, but work on my Advanced Q's in everything else?

    I know I'm not doing a lot of USDAA, but I'm making a game plan. I guess I'll need to read the Snooker rules for Advanced when I move up. I guess I didn't think there'd be different rules. Yikes.

    Thanks for the feedback.

    Does this mean you know ppl who got screwed? Yikes! I don't want to have to pay for the tracker. Well, maybe when I get to that point, I won't mind. For now, I'm just focusing on AKC. USDAA will become my main venue after I get my MACH. Until then, I'll probably just get the 3 Q's in each class before moving up, versus moving up with the PD title only. Saves me some heartbreak if I didn't have everything in order.

    Mistakes can happen on either end, and in any venue. Yes, I know some whom this has happened. It shouldn't deter you from moving up if that's what you want to do. If you do, I recommend being fully aware of your records & what Q's you need in advance.
    You can check online with USDAA if you have paid for data services.
    Think that is about $25 a year.
