Agria Brillo Bounce

2017 Rules

Two Dog Agility competitions; one for Small Dogs Grades 1 –7 and one for Medium Dogs Grades 1 –7.

Agria Brillo Bounce classes must be judged using current Kennel Club rules and each host venue may choose which grades are included for each qualifier.

Class Titles: Agria Brillo Bounce Small Dog Qualifier and Agria Brillo Bounce Medium Dog Qualifier

Class Style: The class must be standard agility or jumping class. Each heat must be open to a minimum of two different grades e.g. 1- 3 or 4 - 5 combined.

Qualifiers: Each host venue provides 3 qualifiers at each size of dog to take to the final.

Final: Each Final will consist of 2 rounds (1 Agility and 1 Jumping) at each size whichwill not be timed(max time specified) and all double clears will go towards the final round. In the event of less than 10 double clears at either size then all double clears and dogs with the minimum combined faults will be selected to produce 10 dogs for the final round. Time will be used with faulted dogs to determine those chosen up to 10 dogs.The 10 dogs will compete in the final jumping round against the clock to find winners and enjoy a share of the prize money at each size.

There are many heats for each size of dog at different grades held at shows around the country with the top 3 of each size of qualifier being invited to the final.

ELIGIBILITY FOR CLASSES

In the following definitions of classes First Prizes or other prize wins are those gained in standard classes at any Kennel Club licensed Championship Agility, Premier Agility, Open Agility or Limited Agility Shows (i.e. Special classes and invitational events excepted). Only a first place with a clear round completed within the course time set by the judge will count towards grade progression.

Standard classes may be scheduled for Agility Shows, as Agility classes or Jumping classes. All standard classes must contain the Weaving Poles obstacle. Standard Agility classes must contain the following elements: “A Ramp”, Dog Walk and See-Saw. With this proviso classes are defined as follows:-

Class Structure. A class may be either held as a Graded Class or a Combined Class. A Graded Class may be scheduled for one or more consecutive Grades with separate results and awards issued for each grade. A Combined Class may be scheduled for more than one consecutive grade with one overall set of results.

Progression. Progression from each Grade will require one Agility win or three Jumping wins in standard classes at that grade, except that progression from Grade 5 will require 3 wins at Grade 5, one of which must be an agility class. Progression from Grade 6 will require 4 wins at Grade 6, two of which must be agility classes. Results from Combined Classes will only count towards progression from the dog’s current grade.

Points Progression. At the handler’s discretion a dog may progress up to Grade 4 by winning 100 points at each grade, using the Agility Warrant points scheme, Regulation K3.c refers, except that there is no requirement for a minimum number of agility points. If this method of progression is selected, the handler must ensure the Show Secretary signs the dog’s Agility Record Book at the first show entered at the higher grade. There is no time limit on this progression, however, once a dog has progressed, it cannot return to a previous grade. Progression on points must be done prior to the closing date of entries. It is not possible to change a grade on points once the entries have closed.

STANDARD CLASSES

Only first prizes and points gained in standard classes at Kennel Club licensed Agility Shows may be used for progression through the classes. (A dog is only eligible for one grade).
