Do all of the CPE level 2 games include the teeter with the exception of jumpers?

I'm close to completing level 1 in CPE and my dog still refuses to do the teeter. I want to sign up for a trial and can't tell from the rules if the teeter is used in all of the games or just standard. I need to mail it in tomorrow to make the deadline.

Does anyone know? Your help would be appreciated.

Someday I hope he will do the teeter but for now it's really challenging to find competitions without it. I know NADAC doesn't have the teeter but there aren't very many of their trials here.
 
In CPE, the Teeter and Weaves both become available obstacles for the judge to use at Level 2.

You will always see the Teeter and Weaves on a Standard course. In the games, it depends on the judge if the Teeter or Weaves are included or not.

For the game Full House you can opt not to do the teeter since its a Handler's Choice game.

For Colors and Wildcard, you can opt for the course that doesn't include this as one of the obstacles unless it happens to be one of the obstacles common to both courses. At Level 2, it think it would be more common to see the Teeter as one of the "A/B" choices for Wildcard.

In Jackpot, unless the Teeter is part of the gamble, and I've yet to see the teeter used on a Level 1 or 2 gamble, you can opt to not do the teeter since, like Full House, the Jackpot opening sequence is Handler's Choice.

You could always opt to just run Level 1 until the teeter issues are resolved. Sure, you won't gain Q's toward the Level 2 titles but you'll still be giving your dog valuable experience.
 
At our friend's first CPE trial, they had the option of a teeter in some of the games. Obviously, it wasn't in Standard.
 
Colors sounds like fun. I love the idea of the two nested courses. And they're short - easy to remember. Haven't had much experience with Wildcard.... :)
