New Calculations for RRCUS Agility Top 20

Your comments are welcomed by the committee and can be sent to Sue Kaehler, 1581 County Rd K, Cedar Grove, WI 53013 or e-mail her at redwingrr@kaehlers.com

The formula for calculating the RRCUS Agility Top 20 is as follows:

5 points for each qualifying Std leg
4 points for each qualifying JWW leg

Bonus points are awarded to qualifying runs with a perfect score of 100 as follows, depending on the speed of the run:

1 point for 2-3 yards per second
2 points for 3-4 yards per second
3 points for 4-5 yards per second
4 points for >5 yards per second
2 additional bonus points are awarded for scores of 100 in both Std and JWW classes on the same day.

The number of qualifying legs in the Agility Top Twenty will be limited to four per class per year in all classes except Exc B Std and Exc B JWW. The best four qualifying runs (as determined by RRCUS Top Twenty points) in each of the lower classes will be used. All qualifying runs in Exc B Std and Exc B JWW will be used.

Owners are not required to submit their scores to the statistician to be included in the RRCUS Agility Top 20 rankings. Final standings will be determined based upon data obtained directly from the AKC. However, if you wish to have the statistician keep a running tally of your score between standings reports, you may submit scores to Sue Kaehler (address above, left).

If you submit your scores, you must include the following info for each qualifying run:

1. Owner's name & email address or phone number
2. Registered name of dog & Call name
3. Name of club sponsoring the trial
4. Date of the trial
5. Agility class entered: STD or JWW?
Nov A, Nov B, Open, Exc A, or Exc B?
6. Jump height entered
7. Score
8. Length of the course (yards)
9. Course time allowed (seconds)
10. Your time (seconds)

If you have questions, please contact Sue Kaehler. We hope all of you have a fun filled year of clean runs! GO RIDGEBACKS!!!
