Class Descriptions

Standard Agility: A standard agility course consists of a numbered sequence of obstacles. It demonstrates a dog/handler team's speed, accuracy, and teamwork.

All non-standard classes are scored pursuant to the provisions of Chapters 6 & 7 of USDAA Rules and Regulations.

Gamblers: Consists of a course with no pre-determined route and each obstacle is assigned a point value. In the opening period the handler seeks to accumulate points by performing the obstacles of his/her choice in the time allotted. At the conclusion of the opening the handler attempts the gamble, as a sequence designated by the judge to be handled from a distance, for additional points.

Jumpers Class: Consists of a course of jumps and may include a tire and tunnels.

Snooker: Has an ‘opening’ sequence of point collection similar to the Gamblers followed by a closing sequence of a set pattern. Roughly parallels the billiards game of ‘Snooker’, requiring the dog to successfully complete a ‘red’ jump prior to attempting an obstacle designated as any other color.

Pairs Relay: Consists of a standard course with one dog and handler running a portion of the course, followed by a baton exchange to a second handler and dog who run the second portion of the course.
