The Hyperflite/Skyhoundz Ontario Regional Championship is also the Worlds Qualifier. Competitors participating in the "Expert" class of Distance/Accuracy; Freestyle; MicroDog; and Pairs are all eligable to earn invitations to compete at the World Championships.
The top four placing dogs in Distance/Accuracy, and Freestyle; the top two placing dogs in MicroDog; and the top two placing dogs in Pairs, will all receive invitations to compete at the World Championships in Chattanooga, Tennessee in September of 2009.
If you choose to compete in the Expert class, you ARE attempting to qualify for Worlds. If you qualify and choose not to go, your spot does not roll down to the next competitor in line. The spot is lost completely.
At this competition freestyle rounds are 90 seconds long and you may use "up to" five discs. Any plastic disc of your choice is allowed as long as it is safe for the dog. In the Pairs freestyle division you are allowed "up to" ten discs.
Distance/Accuracy (aka toss/fetch) rounds are 6o seconds in length. The thrower must stand behind the throw line when throwing but may be anywhere on the field at other times. You can choose which end you want to throw from, but once your round is underway, you may not change direction.
Freestyle is judged based on the Skyhoundz PAWS Scoring System. For a full description of this scoring system go to www.skyhoundz.com
