Northern Magic Agility Dogs (NOMAD)

NOMAD Agility League

Please see the December Newsletter for the agility league rules.

League Standings: MVP points are earned by placement 1st - 10 pts; 2nd - 9 pts; and so on.  Subs are not eligible for MVP awards but they can affect the placements.

As for the Team standings, please keep in mind that the top 2 scores (team point awards) are the only ones counted for standard and then for games, for each team.  Team point awards that were counted are highlighted - the others are dropped.  They are shown on the forms so you can see what was earned.  Subs can contribute to a teams success at a given match.

Individual teams will be receiving their teams tracking sheets as well by email.

Please keep in mind that this is a new process for us and we are starting from scratch on the organization of our league and how we report points, etc.  If you have any suggestions as to how you'd like to see things, or if you find any possible discrepancies on the standings or the individual tracking sheets for your team please send Kim Ingraham a PRIVATE email - no reason to clog up the list.

League Description: The 2011 league season will run from January 8th thru March 19th (skipping March 5th —10 weeks). A makeup week may be offered in March should a week be missed due to inclement weather. Each League match will consist of 1 standard run and 1 games run (2 runs per match) for each dog/ handler present, as time permits. League membership is open to any and all NOMAD members in good standing.

Anyone may act as a judge and the judge may run his/her own dog(s) at the match. Another member must serve as judge for the entire jump height so that the judge of the day may take his/her runs. The judge’s decision is final and only the judge may assess faults to a run.
