NDAL Garden League ~ Week 6 Results

Week 6 started play on May 17, 2020. Our game was Las Vegas, a game that rewards intrepid (and successful) distance work!

Week 6 ~ May 17, 2020 ~ Las Vegas

Las Vegas is a sequencing game that allow the dog to build a poker hand, based on the sequences taken by the dog. These restrictions apply:

• A sequence may be performed no more than three times.
• Only five sequences may count towards the dog’s score.

The three sequences each have a different value:

• Jacks (the sequence numbered with white circles) ~ 15 points
• Kings (the sequence numbered with teal squares) ~ 20 points
• Aces (the sequence numbered with dark red circles) ~ 25 points

If a handler can direct his dog through an entire scoring sequence while remaining inside the containment area, that sequence will be counted as having been performed twice.

Each dog has 60 seconds to play. Time ends when the dog enters the containment area after scoring time expires or on the completion of the final scoring sequence.

Any fault is deducted from the dog points earned.

Las Vegas is scored Points, Then Time.
