We will be offering all regular UpDog games including pairs. Please note that per UpDog Official Rules, no dog may compete in more than 10 runs/day. Keep this in mind if you plan to have more than one handler on the same dog for multiple runs. To enter Level 2, you must have a Gold UP in that game for Level 1. Any dog can enter Level 2 Freestyle.
We will have a maximum of 175 runs/day for this event.
Triple Crown games will be played Saturday evening.
Please enter your correct division based on your scores. Judges may move you into a higher division if your Teams profile show scores in that division.
Triple Crown 2024 Divisions
Below are the criteria set forth for determining your division for this year’s Triple Crown. If you and your best dog usually score within the points listed below you should enter that corresponding division with all of your dogs. One human should only be in one division, not multiple divisions.
Triple Crown Divisions - check your game average and enter the appropriate division.
Expert
Four Way Play 28 and up
Greedy – 38 and up
Time Warp - 69 and up
Intermediate
Four Way Play - 17-27
Greedy - 22-37
Time Warp - 28-68
Novice
Four Way Play - 16 or below
Greedy – 21 or below
Time Warp - 27 or below
Youth (youth may opt to enter a higher division if they choose)
Age 15 or below as of 9/29/2024
Special Note – if you placed in the top 10 of your division last year you must move up this year (except for youth).
Example: Terry and Fido usually score around 25 in Four Way Play, 21 in Greedy and 30 in Time Warp. Terry and Fido would enter the Intermediate division. (This example equals 2 intermediate scores and one novice – therefore the team would enter Intermediate)
For those of you familiar with the team site and the stats pages, essentially these thresholds are roughly based on the percentile ranks from the Team site. Expert Division is the 90th percentile and up, Intermediate is between the 50th percentile to the 89th percentile and Novice is below the 50th percentile. https://teams.updogchallenge.com/games
To see where your scores fall on the percentile rank or to refresh your memory on what you've scored recently just view your profile for your team and scroll down to the results listed by event. Use this to get an idea where you land for your last several rounds of each game and enter the appropriate division.
