We will be offering all regular UpDog games. Please note that per UpDog Official Rules, no dog may compete in more than 10 runs/day. Keep this in mind if you plan to have more than one handler on the same dog for multiple runs. Freestyle will be offered at Level 2.
We will have a maximum of 175 rounds/day for Saturday and 300 rounds/day for Sunday.
All of Saturday’s games will be played on the main (full) field.
Sunday's games will be played on two (half) fields to accommodate more rounds. There will be dogs running on both fields at the same time - if you have a reactive/distracted dog, please think about the safety of your dogs and others before entering Sunday's games. All of your Sunday rounds will be played on the same field.
Please limit Far Out rounds to one round per dog. If time allows we will allow dogs to play with another handler.
Volunteers Needed!
To run two fields on Sunday, we need people to help with designated volunteer shifts.
Volunteer jobs include line judging, scoresheet running, timer/mic, judges' hospitality, etc. Your volunteer shifts will all be on the field you are playing on and will be split to volunteer for half a game. If you sign up for games on Sunday you will be expected to volunteer for at least one shift. Our events can’t run without volunteers!
Far Out will be offered on an 80 yd field.
Start time 8 am both days.
