Raleigh, North Carolina September 22, 2018
Welcome to the DogGoneFast FlyBall XVII!
Thank you for your entries; we are expecting 36 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.
We have managed to provide each team with approximately 40 heats. We are doing the “One Schedule for 2 Rings” format. A big thank you to the Sanderson HS Airforce JROTC for providing box and line judges for our tournament! We have ribbons for 1 st, 2nd and 3rd placements, a 50/50 raffle, and great welcome gifts.
Racing Format
The Racing Format is described on the seed chart. Warm-ups will be 120 seconds on both days. Warm-up time may be reduced if necessary. The two rings will be separated by a barricade. Please use the assigned doors for entering and exiting your ring and do not ever cross behind the barricade while teams are racing.
Mike Durman will be our Maitre-D (with assistance when he is not available) and will be providing ring assignments. C2 forms will be delivered to the ring for you.
Judges and Acting RD
Jon Bescher, Stephanie Trevino, and Patricia Howell will be our judges. Please treat them well!
Tom Ward of Hairier Jump Jets has graciously agreed to be the acting RD for the weekend. Please see him if you have any RD type questions.
