August 2021 60×90 Masters Results

The Summer Season is flying by! This post is for the results of the 60×90 Masters League. Only two clubs were able to run this month, but there were a lot of tight scores. Thirteen out of 35 dogs, basically half, had sub- 30 second times!

This season we started with some NEW courses. The course layout was designed by one of our players, Mike Hughson. I only modified his concept by removing the dogwalk and teeter and flipping the location of a tunnel to get a square approach to the A-frame. I finessed distances since he sketched his courses while away from his computer.

If anyone would like to design courses for the league, let me know!!!

The efforts of dogs playing in August earn Lifetime Performance Points (LPP) based on the entire field of dogs who have competed on the course. The LPP is a measure of rank based on how they placed in relation to all the other dogs.

August 2021 36×85 Fast and Fun Results

Another month has flown by leaving me in the dust. This post is for the results of the 36×85 Fast & Fun League. Three clubs have reported results for this League.

This season we started with some NEW courses. The course layout was designed by one of our players, Mike Hughson. I only modified his concept by removing the dogwalk and teeter and flipping the location of a tunnel to get a square approach to the A-frame. I finessed distances since he sketched his courses while away from his computer. I then moved around the numbers for this course.

September 2021 IDAL League Courses

The following courses are for September 2021 IDAL play. This month we are running new courses again. The course concept was designed by Ashley Ragland for competition in TDAA back in 2015. I modified the original concept to fit the equipment size and distances required for League play. I removed the teeter, chute, and tire and changed up the numbering some. Then I scaled the concept for 36×85 and 50×70 course sizes.

The courses are nested based on the A-Frame and central tunnel. A less traditional challenge, but interesting things are showing up in courses nowadays as judges get creative. Backside tunnels were a thing, maybe they will see a comeback. The courses look fun. I hope to set them up in my building with TDAA distances depending on the heat!

If you would like to design courses for the league or learn how to design courses, give me a shout. I will add you to our group.
