Rules of McCann Team Challenge
Each team must consist of 3 dogs and 3 different handlers. The same handler may not run 2 dogs on the same team (because of the 3 dog relay)
If you do not have a team, you may enter individually and a team will be drawn for you.
Each team must have at least 2 dogs that jump the same height. You can mix Specails, Veterans and Regular dogs. For example, a team can consist of a 16" regular, 16" Special and 26" Regular dog.
All dogs must compete in all 5 classes to receive points
All courses will be judged with Masters rules (any dog is eligible to enter, even if they are not in Masters at Sanctioned events)
The scoring for the event will be provided in a handout before the competition begins (for an example, see scoring for the USDAA DAM event)

SPONSORS - Sashas Blend will be joining us for the day to help promote the "Team" aspect of agility. Although this event is a team effort with other handlers, don't forget how important it is to keep the most important part of your team (your dog) at their absolute best! Please visit the Sashas Blend table to learn more about their line of products for "complete joint health." All of the McCann dogs have been using Sashas Blend supplement and both the humans and dogs love it! Sashas Blend will be providing awards for the top 5 teams.
