Onderstaande berichten zijn gekopieerd van de site van de USDAA(www.usdaa.com). Volgens de berichtgeving nemen ook honden uit Nederland deel aan dit evenement (ik heb alleen geen idee wie dat zijn). Ook heb ik informatie geplakt over de finale steeplechase (voor Nederland een onbekend onderdeel). Zoals bekend fluit ik deze finale.
Groeten,

Background : Begun almost ten years ago as a feature class for public exhibition at equestrian events, this tournament series highlights the speed, jumping ability and extreme elements of the sport of dog agility. Competitors vie for a stake in $10,000 in prize money.
Description: The tournament is divided
into four height classes of 12", 16", 22" and 26". The Steeplechase course will be a fast-flowing, jumpers-style course including a variety of hurdles and jumps, as well as the weave poles and an A-Frame, one of which must be performed twice on course. Competitors compete in a Semifinal round on Thursday to determine who will run in the championship final round on Friday night to compete for $10,000 in prize money.

Standard faults are assessed only on hurdles, missed contact zones on the A-frame and for handler or outside assistance. No refusal penalties are assessed.
A wrong course penalty shall result in elimination.
No refusals shall be penalized. The lowest score— the fastest time after penalties added—determines the winner.

Ik vermoed dat de Nederlandse deelnemer Wiel Weijers is met zijn Aussie Shadow. Zij zijn als Nederlandse frisbee kampioenen al diverse keren in Amerika geweest.
