Sca is up to #75

Go Sca Go! Into the top 50 you will go! (with us nipping at your hocks...!)

 

Is it at Play Dog Excellent???? I'm painting the guest room this weekend, but PDX is a neat place! (guest arriving in 3 weeks, eek!!!)

 

My friend and I want to go sometime when there's a tournament at Shocco Springs. Not anytime in the near future.. maybe next year.

 

She said she heard good things about it, IDK. I can't remember the convo, but I'm pretty sure it was Shocco Springs she was talking about. Especially since she mentioned it was a Christian camp.

 

Go Sca! Lose those pesky pounds, er, I mean gain those points!

Just curious, since it's been mentioned that maybe, just maybe, Spitfire will earn a point before he's 10, how do you earn points (I know nothing about flyball)?

I had to laugh about the bit where you need to walk him down the lane so he can vacuum up all the crumbs. I have to admit, as food crazy as Koji is, for the most part, he'd leave it alone when we'd be doing a run (agility). The one time he stopped to sniff the ground (in his entire career), I KNEW something super strong smelling and yummy had to be there. He would never stop otherwise. I was amazed because he sounds like Sca when it comes to food.

 

For every successful heat that is run you get points depending on the time.
Under 24 seconds- 25 pts
24-27.999 seconds- 5 pts
28-31.999- 1 pt
Anything 32+ you don't get points.

You usually set up teams to make sure they can at least get 25 point runs. And for reference, a 23.99 second team would mean that each dog would have to run ~6 seconds. Most dogs run much faster than that. Missy and Sca run in the 4's I believe.
