Interesting!!   One question - how will this class fit into the current NATCH/All Around award system?

I went ahead and updated the page to include how it fits into the award system.

Short version, it will count towards the All Around NATCH, and be a replacement for clubs who don't offer Hoopers and Barrelers.

So you will be able to earn an AA-NATCH by either getting 130 in Hoopers and Barrelers (Plus all the other V-NATCH Requirements), or by getting 130 in Gamblers (Plus all the other V-NATCH requirements.)

Wasn't sure if you wanted your name out there for everyone to see!

Since gamblers is new do you have to have 130 in it for an  all around or can you have  a fill in?  Say 130 hoopers and 120 Barrelers and 1 gamblers?

Thanks

Will it also count toward All Around awards at the lower levels as a replacement for Hoopers/Barrelers?

Since the Hoopers and Barrelers class aren't comparable to Gamblers, no there won't be any fill ins allowed.

Hoopers and Barrelers can also be VT, so that helps the situation a bit.

In the beginning, no.

But, it's very possible it could in the future.   

The response to Gamblers in 2018 was incredibly good, so we're pretty positive that it will have a large presence in NADAC going forward, but we don't want to jump in feet first until it's been out in the world for a bit.

But there are definitely some tentative plans for it becoming a replacement for Hoopers in regards to the All Around awards, just depends on how the first year goes.

I never understood hoopers, but have come to value and love the class.  It's a wonderful flatwork course for path work and distance skills.  Basically, I would hate to see it go away.

I really enjoyed playing gamblers last year and am looking forward to seeing it move forward. 

[Cathie Cage]

So this is still considered a jumping class, correct? So this can't be added unless you give up another jumping class?

Thanks Cathie Cage
