Welcome to the DogGoneFast FlyBall IV!
Thank you for your entries; we are expecting 42 teams and we will have 2 rings. Please check the other links on our web site for seed chart, racing schedule, and detailed directions/maps. A big thank you to Jon Bescher from Go Dog Go for doing our C2 forms and race labels so quickly!!!
We have a 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 doing the “One
Schedule for 2 Rings” format, which will mean our club will be short handed as
there are extra positions to be filled, please help out with line or box
judging if you can, each race judged earns you a free raffle ticket! We have ribbons for 1st, 2nd
and 3rd placements, a raffle and our prize bag for every team is
sponsored in part by PetSmart. We also have a very special boxloader gift!
Regular 1 has a
double round robin with one point for each heat won, and one point for winning
the race. No points will be given for tied heats or races, and extra heats will
not be run if the race is tied. The RRs are used to
seed the DE. The final placements are determined from the DE.
All other divisions
are racing a round robin format and will earn one point for each heat won, and
one point for winning the race. No points will be given for tied heats or
races, and extra heats will not be run if the race is tied.
Tournament placements
are determined by adding up all accumulated points.
Tie Breakers:
1. Fastest time in
division
2. Fastest time head
to head
3. Tie-breaker race:
2 of 3 heats.
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. 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.
We are going to try to have the “Maitre-D” inside. Geoff and his assistant, Bill Learning, have
graciously offered to run the table, and will be providing ring
assignments. Teams will be handed their
folder to take to their assigned ring.
Please let me know if you have any questions about the format!
The Holshouser building will be
open until at least
We are holding a fundraiser for Noah’s Wish teams that are
working to save the animals impacted by Hurricane Katrina. We will have a donation hat on each head
table and will accept your donations whenever you ‘earn’ a red flag. In addition, we will be selling “Verified Flagger” stickers.
This sticker costs $5 and can be worn proudly if you are a “Red Flag
Freddie”. I plan to purchase one for my
flag-a-holic team-mate! The person that is sponsored for the most
“Verified Flagger” stickers will earn a thank-you
gift! The stickers can be purchased at the raffle table.
