TRIATHLON

12th Annual AWC Triathlon

The AWC Triathlon competition was developed to recognize whippets that excel in three areas of competition: con­formation, lure coursing and obedience. The 12th annual competition is open to all whippets entered in eligible Con­formation, Obedience/Agility Classes and Lure Trial Stakes offered at the 2006 AWC National Specialty in Danvers, Mass. To acknowledge the dogs that excel in all three areas of competition, there will be 10 placement awards.

2006 AWC NATIONAL TRIATHLON RULES AND SCORING

The total raw scores for all three events will be added together. At the completion of obedience competition on Tuesday, the dog with the highest point total will be declared the 2006 Triathlon Champion.

CONFORMATION: The base score for conformation is determined by the judge in the Triathlon conformation class. A numeric score will be given utilizing a Conformation Score Sheet based on the breed standard having a perfect score of 100. The 4 top scoring dogs will be ranked first through fourth place which will break any ties at that time. The high scoring dog will be High Score in Conformation (HCS). This is not an actual award but is utilized in the case of breaking ties as listed below.

LURE COURSING: The base score for the Lure Coursing portion of the event is the total final perfect score of 400 points.

 

OBEDIENCE: The base score for the Obedience portion of the event is the highest total points earned in any single-dog entry Obedience Trial Class. NOTE: Non-qualifying scores are utilized in calculating the total score. The base score for obedience is a perfect score of 200 points.

AGILITY: As an option to obedience, TWO Agility scores (any Jumpers and any Standard class) of 200 maximum total points can be used instead of an Obedience Score. Entries in both Agility and Obedience are acceptable and encouraged. No numeric scores are given for NQs. In the event one dog qualifies in two different classes, only the highest placing class will be used for tiebreaker points.

BONUS POINTS

There will be no Bonus Points awarded for placements. The Total of the raw Scores will be used. In the case of a tie, placements will be utilized for tie breaker points. Placements will be given points of 4, 3, 2, and 1 for First through Fourth Place in a four-dog or more class. Only 1 point will be awarded for a one-dog class, 2 points and 1 point for a two-dog class, and 3 points, 2 points, and 1 point for a three-dog class. BIF, HIT and HCS will be utilized as final tie­ breakers, used only after all placement tie-breaker points have been awarded.
