Welcome to the DogGoneFast FangFest!

 

Thank you for your entries.  Please check the other links on our web site for seed chart, racing schedule, detailed directions/maps and a complete list of food sales.

 

We have managed to provide each team with 23+ heats each day.  We believe that we will be able to have a lunch break each day and plan to shut the building up so that the air conditioning can do its job and cool the building off for the afternoon racing.  We have awards for 1st through 3rd placements and prizes for all teams. 

 

We are also planning on holding single dog racing on Friday night at 8pm (we only get in to setup starting at 6pm).  The fee is just $2 for 3 attempts and all proceeds go to AARF (a local rescue organization).

 

Racing Format

There is a combination of Round Robin and Single Elimination racing depending on the size of the division.

 

4 team divisions:  1 RR 5/5 and 1 RR 3/3

5 team divisions:  1 RR 5/5 and 1 SE 3/3 (round robin is used to seed the Single Elimination racing, SE determines tournament placement)

6 team divisions:  1 RR 5/5

 

Teams are awarded 1 tournament point for each heat won, and an additional point for winning the race.  Ties will be broken by the best time posted in the division.  Warm-ups will be 2 minutes on both days.  Warm-up time may be reduced to 90 seconds if necessary. Please notify the judge if you do not need the entire warm-up period.

 

Venue Information

The Durham Kennel Club building will be open from 6 to 9pm on Friday night; you may drop off your flyball boxes if you wish.  There is no room for team crating in the racing building.
