!!! DACOF Rosters are due in TWO WEEKS !!!
Hello DACOF Members!
February 21st 2025 is the DACOF Roster Deadline this year, and is now only two weeks away!!!
There is a NEW PROCESS this year for submitting Rosters!
Team Organizers/Captains will need to visit this following web link to request a Roster Submittal Form before being able to Submit a Roster:
or
This will allow Team Organizers/Captains to request a Roster Submittal Form for your Organization/Sponsor. Once the request is received and reviewed, you will receive an email (to the email address provided in the form) with a link for Roster Submittal. Every Organization that submits this form will receive their own custom roster link. Even if you are unsure of your Organization's commitment to DACOF 2025 at this time, it is recommended to submit a roster for your Organization, in the chance that the Organization is able to participate.
Jen Young reports receiving Roster Requests (or completed Rosters) from the following Organizations:
aGillity
Ashley’s Dog Sports
Brevard County Dog Training Club
Calusa Dog Agility Club
Dog Training Club of St. Petersburg
Endless K9’s
Jupiter Agility
Marion-Alachua Dog Training Club
Paws in Motion
Practice Makes Pawfect
SOTC
TCKC Teams WTF
If you do not see your Organization listed, PLEASE reach out to your Team(s) Organizer to make the request for the online Roster Submittal Form!
Please remember, there should be some nexus (connection, relationship, bond) between the handlers listed on a Roster. This nexus could be: the Handlers belong to the same Dog Club or Organization; train together; have a shared dog breed; or share some other material and identifiable commonality.
Also, although not everyone listed on a Roster is required to be on the eventual DACOF Team, names cannot be added to the Roster after the Roster Deadline. For further information please go to our web site: dacof.com / Send a Team tab / How to Participate drop down.
Additionally, we ask all Team Captains to encourage subscription of (or to subscribe on behalf of) all Handlers listed on Team Rosters, to the “DACOF Email Blasts.”
(email from dacof-update@googlegroups.com). This will ensure everyone in your organization receives all the important DACOF information in a timely and consistent manner.
Subscribing to the email blasts is very easy! Visit our web site, dacof.com, provide a name and an email address, and click the “Subscribe Now” button in the blue “Latest News” box on the right side of the web page.
The Tire Jump is the Obstacle for the 2025 DACOF Pins & T-Shirt
Team Dog-On-It Dynamos, our winning group from DACOF 2024 has chosen the Tire Jump as their obstacle of choice for the DACOF 2025 Pin and T-Shirt. DACOF Members may submit pictures they would like to be considered as the “Model” for this year’s design to Bill at:
!!! PLEASE REMEMBER !!!
Any pictures being submitted to us for consideration must have the photographer’s permission! Additionally, for us to be able to work with the picture, the file size of the picture must be 1MB in size at a minimum.
Nicky with Pix ‘n Pages has once again graciously provided permission for any Pix ‘n Pages photos to be submitted for consideration. Additionally, Rich Knecht from Rich Knecht Photography and Mallory Bernard from MB Photography have granted permission for the use of any photos they have taken, as long as the submitted pictures are purchased and paid copies of their photographs.
Photographs from any other photographer will require the photographer’s release before the picture is considered as a submission to the Board.
We will only accept Tire Picture submissions through Sunday February 23rd, so please send us your pictures soon!
Lastly for this notice, we would like to encourage everyone to visit the DACOF web page,
to learn about all things DACOF!
Specifically, the "Send a Team" tab which has much valuable information that EVERYONE should review!
We have also added an “Updates” tab that will be archiving all DACOF messages chronologically. This has been a request from our Members, because sometimes an email can get lost, or the chronological order of the Facebook Messages can change when someone comments on an “older” Facebook post, moving it to a higher position in the Facebook posts, and out of chronological order. We know this will help our Members looking for any missed messages/postings.
We look forward to receiving many more Roster Requests, Members’ favorite pictures of the Tire, and we wish you all a wonderful Super Bowl weekend!
Bill, Kathy, Jen, Erica & Ashley
