Hello all,

Just wanted to post that the requirements for qualifying for splash dogs 2008 world championships will be the same as 2007. A team must complete 5 scores in a division between Nov 5th 2007 and the splash dogs world championships 2008. You will only qualify in the highest division that you have 5 scores in. A score is the best of 2 jumps in a wave. Finals count as a wave as well. If a dog qualifies in 2 different divisions with 2 different handlers, the dog must compete in the higher of the two divisions, but may compete with either "qualified" handler. A dog may not compete with a handler who does not have 5 scores in a division with that dog in 2008.
Super Vertical qualifying requirements is that the dog has a successful competition "catch" at 5'0" or higher at a splash dogs event between 11/5/2007 and the world championships 2008.

We have yet to determine what other organizations results will also count towards qualifying.

The world championships will most likely be at cynosports in Scottsdale again Oct 29-Nov 2, 2008, but this has NOT been confirmed.

If you are interested in competing please keep checking back on our events page and the messageboard as the months progress. We have not worked out details, but it is possible that we will require pre-registration and we don't want you to miss other important event information as it becomes available.

Thanks!

Hey all,
I know it seems like the 2007 world championships just ended, but I'd like to make sure that we work throughout the year to help make sure that the 2008 world championships is just as great if not better!

I'm looking for volunteers for the committee to help make this the best event ever. Please email info@splashdogs.com if you are interested in helping out.

Tasks that committee members took on last year include: raffle/door prizes (yeah Barb!), organizing the awards dinner, coordinating the awards voting, picking out and ordering awards plaques, the cool t-shirts, ribbons/medals, format questions, etc.

Thanks!

The Splash Dogs World Championships will be held at the Cynosport World Games in Scottsdale again this year.

The event will be setup similar to last year.
There will be a Dock Jumping Challenge with qualifying waves from Oct 29-Oct 31st.
The World Championships on Nov 1 and 2 (we will likely split the world championships across 2 days this year).

The event schedule and details will be made available in the coming months.
For qualifying information, see the post right above this one in this thread.

Also, the annual rankings for 2008 will continue through 10/1/2008 and qualifying will continue up until 11/2/2008 (Just like last year).

If you are interested in being on the world championships committee, please email me at wendy@splashdogs.com. We really need help to make this event just as great as last years!

Ack! I messed up. I looked at the usdaa website for dates and didn't notice that they had the 2007 dates still up.

It's Oct 29-Nov 2 with the world championships on Nov 1 and 2.

Sorry!
