18AGILITY LINK NOVELTY
CORRESPONDENCE SERIES
RULES
Latest reprint: May 2020
Each Club must nominate a NALA Link co-ordinator(s).
It is the Club Link co-ordinator’s responsibility to ensure
these rules are adhered to.
1. ELIGIBILITY.
Only Agility Link subscribers are eligible to have scores
recorded for Interclub or individual dog competition. Agility
Link subscribers may have scores recorded for any dog they
handle. Clubs may compete in any Interclub competition
offered by NALA. If Clubs wish to use a Novelty name they
must also include part of the Club name.
2. JUDGING.
Any person knowledgeable of the agility/flygility/rallyO
rules may act as a judge. Two or more judges may officiate,
one judge competing under the other judge. Care must be
taken to provide consistent judging. All judging will be based
on the current acceptable standards in NZ.
Exceptions are:
a) Weave poles: no faults or refusals except for touching the
dog, but they must be correctly negotiated.
b) Crossover: Judging level to be mentioned on the plan.
c) Long jump: if corner poles appear on the plan they must be
used.
19d) There is no SCT or MCT.
3. COURSE PLANS:
Any subscriber is welcome to submit a course plan, by
Course designer, or clearly drawn to scale on an A4 sheet.
The ring size for agility is 30m x 40m, and for rallyO is 20
x20m maxm for every month.
4. COURSE LENGTH, MEASUREMENTS AND
TIMING.
When setting up the course, distances must be checked with a
meter wheel, following the path laid out on the plan. The
total length of the course must coincide with that stated in the
plan, margin of error is 1m. Where specific instructions are
included on the plan these must be adhered to. The course
layout should be checked so that where the plan shows
jumps/signs in a straight line or on angles this is done. Check
grids and line up obstacles along a grid, so that the character
of the course is adhered to.
Electronic timers or an accurate stop-watch must be used,
with times being recorded to 100ths of a second.
5. SCORING AND RESULTS. (Unless specified
otherwise with the Course Brief)
The club will submit the score of each competitor's FIRST
run over the course.
No previous practice over that particular course is
allowed. (** See comment at the end of this document)
20Agility: The competitor's score consists of the time taken to
run the course plus any faults caused by course faults. A
competitor who has NO course faults will receive a bonus by
having 5 secs subtracted from the running time.
RallyO: The competitor's score consists of the time taken for
the round plus a score out of 100.
The club co-ordinator must enter results on the website or
forward results to reach the AGILITY LINK Results
Recorder before the last day of the month of running. Late
results or results from members who are not financial, will
not be published or credited.
6. OBSTACLE STANDARDS.
The Club should use its own equipment. All obstacles must
be of safe construction. Where levels of height or length may
differ, in Agility Link competitions the obstacles should be
set at their maximum height/length.
7. COMPETITION
a) Interclub.
A club's score in any month will be the sum of the scores of
that club's three best performers for that month. A club will
be credited with points for that month equal to the place it
gains, e.g. The club that achieves 1st Place is credited with 1
point, the 2nd club 2 points, etc.
Top Club Award will go to the club with the lowest total
after adding together that club's EIGHT lowest scores. If,
finally, two clubs are on the same aggregate score the club
with the lower team aggregate for the LAST month they both
competed together, will have preference.
21Agility Divisions.
There will be three or four Divisions, with approximately
similar numbers in each division. Clubs may organise more
than one team but the Club's second or third team must start
in the fourth division, and handlers/dogs will run for the same
team all year. All new teams/clubs will start in the lowest
division.
Relegation/promotion: The results recorder will publish
promotions/relegations with the aim to reward the top teams
by promotion, and to ensure the size of divisions is
maintained approximately even.
Dogs in Teams.
Where a Club has more than one Team in the competition,
Senior dogs (at DogsNZ Championship level) or those with a
clear round in ADX advanced must be included in the top
team (this applies at the beginning of the year when Teams
are first set up).
New members (except for Senior dogs or dogs with a clear
round in ADX advanced ) may be added to any Club team.
NALA members who move during a competition year may
have their score credited to whichever Club they choose.
(b) Individual Dog.
The same principle will apply as for Interclub. Any member
of NALA may compete in the monthly competition, under
the one subscription, with more than one dog. Awards will be
given to the first 10% (approx) of dogs.
22AGILITY LINK may, from time to time, offer other forms
of competition, depending on sponsorship, and interest.
8. CLASSES AND ELIGIBILITY.
Jumpers: Three times a year the courses will contain NO
contact obstacles. All dogs may compete.
Games: An annual Games competition is now available. A
standard results sheet is available from the co-ordinator.
** Members should warm their dogs up prior to running the
course.
A club should ideally set up equipment outside the course
proper, however a dog may also warm-up on equipment
included in the course, at the discretion of the NALA co-
ordinator.
If this is the case, only one or two pieces can be used at a
time and they are to be used the OPPOSITE way to that
which they will be run on the course.
No food is to be used during the warmup on the course.
For example you may want to put your dog on the A-frame,
weave or dogwalk a few times and reward with a toy. This is
allowed. Practice jumps are easily set up, but many clubs
wouldn’t get out two pieces of contact equipment.
23The Annual results
for the 2020/2021
series will be
published in the next
magazine.
