FREE 3-Dog Team Competition, 2025

TEAMS

  • 3 dogs per team

  • Dogs can be at any level (Starters, Advanced, Master), all dogs on a team do not need to be at the same level

  • You can enter the competition without a team, and we will try to find a team for you

  • Any number of dogs on a team may have the same handler

  • A dog cannot be on more than one team

  • Dogs need only register once, that covers all trial, and can enter at any time before Paws4Fun's last trial of 2025, in Sept

NOTES

  • Team positions will be posted on FB after each trial, so teams can see where they need to focus in the next trial!

  • Not every dog has to run every event (e.g. if Rover never runs Snooker, his Snooker score for the team will be zero)

  • All levels (Starters, Advanced, Masters) stand a fair chance. Remember that course design difficulty and faults differ with the levels.

SCORING

  • Standard, Jumpers, and Steeplechase: dog starts with 100 pts, course and time faults are subtracted off, time under SCT is added on

  • Snooker & Gamblers: points (including the doubling of points in Gamblers)

  • “E” is scored as zero, "FEO" is scored as zero

  • The team is scored on the sum of each dog’s best run in each class over all Paws4Fun 2025 AAC Trials

AWARDS

  • Will be presented at the end of the Sept-2025 Paws4Fun trial, Sunday afternoon. You don’t have to be present to win

  • First Place for each class - Rosettes will be given to each dog on the first place team for each of Standard, Snooker, Gamblers, Jumpers and Steeplechase.
    (a team can only win one of the classes. Precedence = Jumpers, Gamblers, Snooker, Standard, Steeplechase. I.E. if a team has the highest score in Jumpers, Gamblers and Snooker, they only get awarded for the Jumpers win.)

  • First, Second, and Third Place for overall - Rosettes will be given to each dog on the first, second, and third place teams overall (for overall position, teams actual scores are used, regardless of how many classes they won)

  • Each dog on the first place overall team will receive a Paws4Fun pre-paid run certificate for the 2026 season

  • No tie-breakers – e.g. if teams tie for first, then they all come first and all get awards
