Hi, competitors!
Get your friends together and form a Team for the upcoming Top Teams in one or all three of the NADAC class groups!
We will be tracking team scores for the "JC Teams" (jumping classes) which will consist of the top five yearly scores for all three team members in the Regular and Jumpers classes. Each team member will have 5 jumpers scores and five Regular Agility scores used for scoring. Their scores will come from the Elite level and their run index will be used to calculate scores.
We will be tracking team scores for the "TW Teams" (Touch N Go/Weavers classes) which will consist of the top five yearly scores for all three team members in the Touch N Go and Weavers classes. Each team member will have 5 Touch N Go scores and five Weavers scores used for scoring. Their scores will come from the Elite level and their run index will be used to calculate scores.
We will be tracking team scores for the "EGC Teams" (Extreme Barrelers and Extreme Hoopers classes) which will consist of the top five yearly scores for all three team members in the Extreme Barrelers and Extreme Hoopers classes. Each team member will have 5 Extreme Barrelers scores and five Extreme Hoopers scores used for scoring. Their scores will come from the Elite level and their run index will be used to calculate scores.
We have chosen two classes for each Team grouping that shows a diversity of skills within each group and within each class.
Scores for the year 2014 will be calculated from May 1st to Dec. 31st. For future years the scores will be used from January 1 to December 31. New team totals will be posted to the forum and NADAC web site every two weeks.
The tracking of scores will cost $25 per dog per team. Total cost per team is $75 per team group.
A dog can be on a different team for each group. So a dog could have different team members for the JC team than what they have for an EGC team or a TW team.
A dog does not have to be on all types of teams, they could be on one team only if desired.
A team will receive a 5 point bonus for each 15 point bonus run by a team member. A team will receive a 10 point bonus for each 20 point bonus run by a team member, 15 for a 25 point run, 20 for a 30 point run. So the team members score would be run index plus their bonus points.
If a Regular run has faults, then 5 points will be deducted from the run index.
Teams need to submit team names for each group.
A team could consist of three dogs all handled by the same person.
A team may have a maximum of one substitution during the year with a veterinary letter stating that one dog is unable to compete in agility. A second substitution is not allowed.
Find some friends and join a team! Team names are required, team shirts are encouraged!!

This sounds fun!! Are there categories to the teams, as in JH-vet (like champs) and standard, etc? Or are we all in together?
-
WAHOOOO!!!!
-
I love this. Can't wait till Cinna and I are at the Elite level and we can play! So cool to be able to be on a team with friends from all over the world!

That sounds like fun!

This is fun!!
I hope this is OK to post here....but since we don't have NADAC trials locally, and I travel to different parts of the area and see different people/dogs....
Bracken would love to be on a TW team! Touch n Go and Weavers are his two favorite classes, and the ones he goes fastest in!
Anyone else like to join us??
Warning: We don't get to a huge number of trials in a year, but will definitely enter these classes at all we do attend.
Thanks for yet another fun goal to aim for!

I think a Vet team division would be nice.

Some of the best teams in the country are Vets! Many people want to combine their teams with friends of Vets and non-Vets too.

If anyone wants an Aussie (as in Australian) team mate - Smudge and I would be willing for EGC. We may not have many EGC trials but we love them when we do

Anyone out there want to put together a deaf dog team?

Is there a deadline for forming teams?
If a team is formed after May 1, are points retroactive?
Thanks

There is no deadline for forming teams. All scores from May 1 would count.

Hey, Arlene!!! Alva is a bit out of commission right now, otherwise we'd be all in for JC, and maybe EGC! We're getting a second evaluation today... let you know what we find out. TW is out... Alva has never been a speedy weaver.
ugh... that means permanent Open EGC boy would have to graduate to Elite :o scary thought! Oh... just remembered. He's still in Open EGC Chances because we just don't run it down here enough. So maybe the EGC option is out...
Leanne????

EGC Chances isn't part of the team competition, only Barrelers and X-Hoopers....... so you are good!!

wooo hooo!!! Definitely in!!! Need to get in some "tight" practice through hoops next to barrels once Alva is deemed better! ;D

Okay, we got 3 team members together at the Elk Grove Fundraiser. Me and Dazzle, Sandy Taylor and Flynn, Patty Diehl and Jammin. Just need to figure out a name and we're ready to send our money in. Is there an application we need to download somewhere? We're ready to go. Sounds like fun.
-
Dayle and Arlene,
Sadly we don't get enough EGC in this area to do this. And when they do, it is barrelers and gaters. I can't even remember the last time I got to run an EGC hoopers class.
-
Ahh, but Leanne, I do believe you will be seeing more Extreme Hoopers - at Periland in May and rumor has it there might be a couple of full weekends of EGC and since I will now be 'have gates, will travel,' perhaps more clubs will be willing to add it......
Karen a true EGC addict
-
And come on down to Roanoke the end of June...full EGC trial June 28 and 29, Leanne. Premium should be out soon and we would love to have you!
-
Just wondering can it be one handler and two or three dogs on a team? Or is it required to be 3 handlers and 3 different dogs??
Wanda
-
Based on Sharon's original post, you have 3 different teams and don't have to be in all 3. My Dazzle is still in Open for TnG and Weavers, and we are still in Novice in EGC. So we will be only on a JC team (Regular and Jumpers). Other team members could be on EGC team or TnG/Weavers team. Right?

It is three dogs, handlers can be different or the same.

Well I do hope you can find a team Kathy because i think things like this are as much about friendships, fun and just being involved as it is about competition :)

How do we actually register a team? It says to turn in names but doesn't say how. Do we just email Sharon or someone else?

Shirlene is creating a team form to fill out. Some have just emailed me with the info.
An "official" form will be out soon!
Sharon

Hi Everyone,
Here is a link to the Team Competition Entry form https://adobeformscentral.com/?f=KYGpswszUXBB6fWqw%2AVb5Q
It is preferred that you use the form to enter as it self generates an excel file for Sharon to work with (so helps reduce some workload). The form is quick and easy and you will need to use one form for each team you enter your dog in.
-
Thanks for the form! I just used it but I wanted to comment that there isn't an option for people to run dogs they don't own. Specifically, my JH runs a dog quite well but I own the dog officially. I put his name under 'owner' on your form as you didn't have anywhere for his name, which seemed wrong. So I hope that works out ok in the spreadsheet!

Shirlene can change the form to "handler" instead of owner.

All fixed...instead of Owner it now says handler :)

I have a lovely young dog who has just gone into Elite regular, Touch n Go and Weavers. He has been in Elite Jumpers for about 6 months. I would love to team up with someone in Regular, Jumpers and Touch n Go and Weavers if anyone out there is interested. Please let me know. I am running in Australia.

Thank you! :)
"Schnauzer Power: Proud to be Loud" is ready to rock and roll :) Same team and handlers as at champs in 2011 but one different dog (my son is running his new dog since our older dog died). Thank you for the chance to do this virtual team - it is fun to be back together! Our 3rd teammate lives far enough away that we rarely see her so this way we get to have virtual fun together :)

Kathy - Sammi and I would love to be on a team with you, but Sammi and I have some speed issues.... I think just about anybody would love to be on a team with you and Dusty - you girls ROCK!!!!

Hi Kelly!
I have an older dog who isn't that speedy, but he's pretty steady. We think it would be awesome to be on a team with you...if you're willing to do it for fun...we won't help you win any prizes! You won't hurt our feelings if you want to keep looking!
-

So Kathy, I haven't scored 3 deaf teammates....and I am frequently in a Q drought....actually I love deserts! How about two dogs with no ears and one with two to cover us Dale? It would be fun just to play.
We might not necessarily be about the winning but rather the journey!
Arlene

Hi Arlene,
Unfortunate, the news for Alva may not be good. He's currently grounded with a shoulder injury, and the outlook isn't promising. I'm hoping that I can retire him from regular agility, and only run him in EGC, to avoid reconstructive surgery. But right now, we're still exploring all of the possibilities... my deaf boy may not fly again :'( It makes me very sad, as he is MY boy, and my first agility dog, but his long term happiness and health is what is most important.
I hope you find another teammate along with Kathy! I'll be rooting for you!

Hi Leanne,
I think that would be great. Do you think we can find a third partner out there. Maybe Ed or Kathy would partner with us with one of their dogs. I will ask him.

If anyone wants a Touch n Go and Weavers partner - Smudge and I are willing. Weavers is her favourite class (mine too) and Touch N Go well we ain't that good at it but I am willing to play :)

Hi Kelly and Lee Anne,
Zia and I would be happy to join your team. Zia is wicked fast and a great weaver. She can be consistant when we're not going for bonuses. Let me know if you'd like us to join you all.
Linda
-
Hi Kelly!
Yay...this will be fun! Linda Anderson said she would be on our team with her awesome dog Zia. Maybe the three of us could do the Jumping Classes team?
-
Yes,yes ,yes. We don't do bonuses yet either Linda but it is in my dreams to do one, one day. This is awesome. Thanks ladies. I will fill in my form this weekend for jumping classes. I am happy to do weavers, touch n go with you too Linda and maybe we can find a third person. Samson is not in Elite for EGC although we are not far off in Barralers and gaters. I'm not sure that we will ever be in chances.lol
-
If anyone wants a Touch n Go and Weavers partner - Smudge and I are willing. Weavers is her favourite class (mine too) and Touch N Go well we ain't that good at it but I am willing to play :)
Donna Waugh and Gia have teamed up together with Smudge and I but we could really use a Touch N Go specialist - we are both good weaving teams and not so good at Touch N Go. So we are on the hunt for a Touch n Go team mate ;D

Is that interpreted to mean that a team formed now (mid July) cannot use their runs from May 1st to now for the team scores? That only trial runs going forward count for the team scores?

Teams can use their scores from the date that the team is signed up. If they signed up in May, then can use their May runs. If they sign up in October then they can use their October-December runs.

Almost done! EGC Team Champions were easy, as only one team signed up.
We have three divisions. EGC Team Champions, TW Team Champions and JC Team Champions.
(TW=Touch N Go and Weavers, JC=Jumping Classes of Regular and Jumpers).
Getting close, should be done tonight. Some really great teams!

Wish we could come Downunder for a Team BAM photo shoot, Shirlene! How fun would that be? Thanks to you, Smudge, Sharon, Busi and Jean McCreight and Zack for being team mates with me and Gia! What a great addition to our agility year experiences!

Hey it was fun all around, and what a tight competition that turned out to be in TW! Was nice to have teammates from around the world cheering on Zack's rare Q's in TG ;D
I'm on the road for a few days, will try to send a photo when I get home .... I'm not the photoshop expert to ask to put together a team picture! :)

2015 Teams TW, EGC and JC teams competition registration form can be found here;
https://PawstoConsider.formstack.com/forms/nadac_teams_event_tw_egc_jc
"The cost for score tracking is $25 per team member and there are three different possible teams, TW Team (Touch N Go and Weavers), EGC Team (Barrelers and Hoopers) and JC Teams (Jumpers and Regular). With the new software, we can now post standings every two weeks.
Scoring is the top five scores within each group, plus extra credit for any bonus runs.
The Team Awards for 2014 should arrive here in about 10 days and we will get them sent out ASAP.
Be sure to send a picture of your teammates for 2014 and we will create a collage of each team and post it on the NADAC web site.

When you click on the team and/or teams you want to enter more fields will magically appear on the form :)

Anyone interested in joining a team with me and Riot? We blow a lot of runs and I can't resist trying to go for the distance, but he's pretty fast when we get it right! We always have fun!!
If you're interested send me a personal message. He's in Elite for all classes, so I'm interested in doing 3 teams.

Would we use Shirlene's same form for 2016 teams? And, would points count from when we sign up, or the beginning of the year, or I think it started in May last year?
Thanks much!

In 2014, it started in May, which is when we started doing yearly teams. For 2015 it was Jan-Dec.
Yes, Shirlene's form can be used for 2016.
We also need pictures of the top three teams for 2015 for the NADAC web site!

Thank you Sharon and Shirlene for posting to my question. I still have a few more questions.....does each team member send in a separate entry? How do you know who the team members are? Is there a place to write a team name, do you you even need a team name? Is it retroactive to January 1st, 2016? sorry, but never having done this before, I don't want to screw it up.
Thank you in advance.
