So I see that in Sonoma we're going to have the chance to really have some fun with the Team Jump being offered on Saturday and Sunday July 26th & 27th!
I've got 4 dogs looking for teammates - yes, it would be easy just to pair them with themselves, but what fun is that! Any takers on teaming up w/Gunn, Aries, Vandal or Twizzy? I believe we will be there Saturday only as we have Flyball on Sunday morning, but we may be able to come up on Sunday after practice, still working this out!
Team Jumps - We are excited to bring a new game to you! You can win money even if your dog doesn't jump the farthest! In the team jump, you will be put into teams of 3. You may request your team, or ask to be placed on a team. A handler may only handle one dog on a given team (however a handler may be on multiple teams with different dogs). A dog may only be on a single team. Each team member will take two competition jumps. Any "No Jump" score causes a team to be ineligible for placements. No "Passing" is allowed. Before the start of the wave, all teams will be asked to present their "guess" at their teams total combined jump scores (including all 6 jumps). Teams will then be placed according to how close their guess is to the sum of their actual combined jump scores. Each team member will pay the $20 wave entry fee. 50% the wave entry fees from this wave will go to payout the winners. 1st place gets 60%, 2nd place gets 30%, 3rd place gets 10%. In the event of a tie for any of the first 3 places, we will do a single jump team jump off - the team with the guess closest to the combined score of the 3 jumps will win the tie. All jumps from this wave also count towards qualifying for the finals and also for rankings and titles. Team jump waves may NOT be paid for with Splash Bucks.
