Raleigh, North Carolina January, 2004

Welcome to the DogGoneFast Winter WufFest III!

Thank you for your entries; we are expecting 51 teams and we will have 2 rings. Please check the other links on our web site for seed chart, racing schedule, detailed directions/maps and a complete list of food sales.

Once again we have managed to provide each team with 39 to 42 heats. We have a very full racing schedule, so please do your best to keep things moving along. We have split the racing so that there is slightly more on Saturday. We are short of box judges, so please plan to box judge the race following yours. We have trophies for 1^st place and ribbons for 2^nd and 3^rd placements, a raffle and a prize table.

Racing Format

All racing is Round Robin, either 5/5 or 3/3. Teams are awarded 1 tournament point for each heat won, and an additional point for winning the race. Ties will be broken by the best time posted in the division. Warm-ups will be 2 minutes on both days. Warm-up time may be reduced to 90 seconds if necessary. Please notify the judge if you do not need the entire warm-up period. Ring B has priority. Please inform the judge prior to your race if a conflict is expected. The two rings will be separated by a barricade. Please use the assigned doors for entering and exiting your ring and do not cross behind the barricade.

Venue Information

The Holshouser building will be open until at least 8pm on Friday night; you may drop off your flyball boxes if you wish. There is no room for team crating in the racing building, exceptions have been given for judges and for folks that have special needs.

Several of the boy scouts and their parents are volunteering at our tournament; the food sales are a fundraiser for them so please consider using this service.

We have planned a FREE pizza dinner for Saturday evening! All club owners have been emailed asking if their teams will want pizza. Please check with me if your club captain has not mentioned this to you!!
