TOURNAMENT DESCRIPTIONS: (for complete rules go to www.usdaa.com)
2010 Grand Prix of Dog Agility ® World Championships and Performance Grand Prix SM
Championships Local Qualifier Class Description:
These classes are open to all competitors regardless of titles earned or skill level - a single-round
tournament featuring the sport in its basic form. A dog may not be entered in both Grand Prix and
Performance Grand Prix at this event.
Qualification and Advancement for GP/PGP Local Qualifiers: Competitors that earn zero (0)
faults shall earn a qualifying score and become eligible to enter the preliminary round of a Regional
Championship. In addition, the first place qualifying competitor in each height class shall earn a
“bye” voucher, permitting them to directly advance to the final round of a (Type 1) Regional
Championship; a competitor utilizing a “bye” voucher may elect to run in the preliminary round
without affecting their qualification for the final round. A competitor may earn more than one
voucher, and the voucher is non-transferable, can be used only once and must be redeemed with
entry to a (Type 1) Regional Championship along with fees due for the class. See complete rules &
regulations for Regional Championships, which are hereby incorporated by reference. The rules
may be found on the USDAA web site-General Information-Forms and Documents Library, or may
be requested in writing by US mail from the USDAA office. A competitor must have two
qualifications from local qualifiers, one of which may be from the first round of a Regional
Championship, in order to qualify for entry to the National/World Championship quarterfinals;
however, where a competitor may choose to compete in both Grand Prix and Performance Grand
Prix qualifiers during the current tournament season, the competitor is only eligible to compete in
the championships of the tournament in which they have earned the most qualifications. Further,
2010 tournament rules stipulate that a competitor must compete all in Championship or all in
Performance tournaments at a Regional and National/World Championship events.
SPECIAL NOTES: When a local qualifier is held in conjunction with an agility test where all
levels of titling are NOT being offered, ‘bye’ vouchers will not be awarded (e.g. Starters/Advanced
only, Advanced/Masters only, Masters only – Tournament Only shows do not fall into this
category). Competitors at a Regional Championships with a qualifying score in the top 50% in
Round 2 in each height class shall earn a bye into the semifinals at the Cynosport World Games. If at
a regional championship a bye is earned by a competitor/dog team who has already earned a bye in
that jump height, the bye is forfeited.
2010 DOG AGILITY STEEPLECHASE ® and PERFORMANCE SPEED JUMPING SM LOCAL QUALIFIER:
These classes are two-round tournaments with emphasis on speed. Each round will be conducted on
a jumpers-style course that shall include at least two spread hurdles (in Steeplechase only), a long
jump and an A-frame and a minimum of 10 weave poles. Either the A-frame or weave poles shall be
required to be performed twice. Top competitors as set forth below shall advance to Round 2 to
compete for prize money and Tournament Top Ten points. Qualifiers and placement winners
(minimum of four, there is no maximum) in the height class are eligible to advance to
Round 2 at a local qualifying event in order to compete for Top Ten points and prize money,
provided they have finished the round with a score. Non-qualifying competitors running in Round 2
shall not be credited with a qualifying score regardless of their final standing and at the Regional
level are not eligible to earn a bye based upon their score in Round 2. A finalist slot vacated by a
competitor who has earned the right to compete in the final round shall be forfeited and no
substitutions are allowed. Qualifiers as defined herein earn the right to enter the respective
Championships to be held in the autumn of 2010. The tournaments are open to all competitors
regardless of titles earned. A dog may not be entered in both Steeplechase ® and Performance Speed
Jumping SM at this event, The tournaments shall be conducted pursuant to USDAA Championship
Program Starters/PI level rules, except that scoring in each round shall be on a time plus faults basis
with a five-point penalty added to a competitor's performance time for each occurrence of a fallen
hurdle or missed contact; running the wrong course shall be scored as an elimination as defined
under Masters rules.
Qualification shall be determined based upon the Round 1 scores of the top three dogs in each jump
height provided there are at least 5 scores each in the 12” and 16” height classes or 7 scores each in
the 22” and 26” height classes. The top three scores shall be averaged and multiplied by a factor of
1.25 to determine the maximum qualifying score for each jump height. Only competitors with scores
equal to or less than the maximum qualifying score in round 1 qualify. For purposes of qualification
calculations, dogs scoring an elimination shall be included in the count of competitors “actually
competing” in the qualifying score computations.
Awards:
(see "Prizes and Awards")
CLASS DESCRIPTIONS
Two certification programs will be offered at this event - Championship & Performance. Competitors may
enter both Championship and Performance Program classes for which they are eligible;
however, under NO circumstance may a dog be entered in the same Championship and
Performance class at this agility test (ie. standard at any level in both programs). Classes include
standard agility, gamblers, jumpers, pairs relay and snooker agility as set forth in Chapters 3-7 of
USDAA Rules and Regulations, each of which are conducted at three competitive levels.
CHAMPIONSHIP PROGRAM CLASSES
These classes are held at the Starters, Advanced and Masters levels. See Chapters 5, 4 and 3
respectively of the USDAA Rules & Regulations for details.
PERFORMANCE PROGRAM CLASSES
Generally, Performance Level I, Level II and Level III are run on courses used for Starters, Advanced
and Masters classes in the Championship Program, with the following exceptions: the A-frame is set at
5’6”, jump heights are one height class lower as set forth in Notice to Competitors, no spread hurdles are
utilized and time standards in the standard, jumpers classes are extended by 3 seconds beyond that
utilized in the Championship Program. See Chapter 7 of the USDAA Rules & Regulations for details.
NONSTANDARD CLASSES
The following classes shall be scored pursuant to Chapter 6 & 7 of USDAA Rules and Regulations:
•Gamblers: The competition consists of a course with no pre-determined route and each obstacle is
assigned a point value. In the 'opening' period the handler seeks to accumulate points by performing
the obstacles of his/her choice in the time allotted. At the conclusion of the 'opening' the handler
attempts the 'gamble', a sequence designated by the judge to be handled from a distance, for
additional points.
•Jumpers: This class consists of a course of jumps and may include a tire and tunnels.
•Pairs Relay: This class consists of a standard course with one dog and handler running a portion of
the course, followed by a baton exchange to a second handler and dog who run the second portion of
the course. Partners must be from the same level and height division, mini (Ch 12/16, Perf 8/12) or
open (Ch 22/26 or Perf 16/22). In the event one dog is entered in a program/level, un-entered dogs
or dogs from another program/level may NOT be recruited to form a qualifying pair.
•Snooker: This class has an 'opening' sequence of point collection similar to the Gamblers, followed
by a 'closing' sequence of a set pattern. It roughly parallels the billiards game of ‘Snooker’,
requiring the dog to successfully complete a 'red' jump prior to attempting an obstacle designated as
any other color in the 'opening' sequence.
PRIZES AND AWARDS (must be claimed on the day they are awarded- none will be mailed)
Grand Prix of Dog Agility ® and Performance Grand Prix SM Local Qualifying Events
Rosettes in each height class will be awarded to first through third place. First place qualifying
winners in each height class shall be awarded a ‘bye voucher’, permitting them to advance to the
final round of a regional championship. A double overlay maroon and white ribbon shall be awarded
to all Grand Prix qualifiers; maroon and pink to all Performance qualifiers.
Dog Agility Steeplechase ® and Performance Speed Jumping SM Local Qualifiers:

any reason or allocable prize amounts less than $3.00 shall not be paid.
