DACOF FAST ~ Pre-Briefing

Hello Members,

It seems the DACOF FAST Briefing often takes longer than briefings in the other rings due to extra questions.

To help streamline things, we've prepared the following Pre-Briefing Information to clarify common points in advance:

DACOF FAST ~ Pre-Briefing

ALL Obstacles (except the Teeter) will be Bidirectional

The Start and Finish Jumps will also be Bidirectional

Must Start at the Start Jump!

If a Dog accidentally takes another Obstacle before taking the Start Jump, it cannot earn a Send Bonus although Points Earned from Obstacles throughout the course and in the Send Bonus Areas will be credited to the score

ALL THREE Send Bonuses (Novice, Open & Ex/Master Bonuses) are available to, and may be attempted by all classes (Novice, Open & Ex/Master)

Novice Send will be Bidirectional and can be taken, in any order 

(10 Bonus Points)

Open Send will be Bidirectional and can be taken, in any order 

(15 Bonus Points)

Ex/Master Send must be taken in One Direction Only, and MUST be taken in flow (20 Bonus Points)

Only the highest point Send Bonus attained will be added to the score

If NO BONUS is completed successfully, all points earned from Obstacles Completed will still be credited towards the score

However, Dogs MUST cross the Finish Jump to stop the timer to earn a score

If a Contact is missed (A-Frame or Teeter) another Obstacle must be taken before reattempting for points

Except for the 1-Point Jumps, Obstacles can only be completed once for points, but can be taken additional times for flow through the course.

!!! PLEASE – PLEASE - PLEASE !!!

Do not congregate around the scribe table during Competition so the Scribe can focus on scoring runs!

We’re looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow or Friday!

Bill, Kathy, Jen, Erica & Ashley
