MACH 2 CROSS CREEK
SWATCH OF PEBWIN AGILITY TROPHY
This
challenge trophy was donated in 2004 by Christine Miele.
The intent is to reward
and encourage entry level agility competition.
The criteria for
selecting a winner:
This trophy is to be
awarded to the HVGRC Member in Good Standing who has the winning
competition record in the following agility classes: Novice A,
Novice B and Open in Standard and/or Jumpers With Weaves. The
HVGRC member must be in good standing during the year in which
scores were earned, and at the time of presentation of the
Trophy.
A maximum of 12 scores
may be submitted:
3 from Novice Standard,
3 from Novice Jumpers
3 from Open Standard and 3 from Open Jumpers
Application for the trophy can be made with fewer than 12
scores.
Scores are calculated as
follows:
The dog’s score
(100-90-85 etc) is added to the difference between standard
course time and the dog’s actual time. Times would be rounded
down if over standard course time and rounded up if under
standard course time consistent with AKC scoring regulations
For example:
A dog with a score of 95
who is 8 seconds under standard course time, would have a score
of 103.
A dog with a score of
100 who is 8 seconds under standard course time would have a
score of 108
The dog with the highest
score wins the trophy.
This is a Perpetual
Trophy which, if won three consecutive years by the same owner
(not co-owner, and not necessarily with the same dog), could be
retired. It could then be re-named and/or replaced by the
person who has won it three consecutive times.
