Challenge run

[Donna & Gracie]

So, I’m sure I missed the briefing on the live feed, can someone explain the challenge run? Was it mainly for the teams that weren’t eligible/invited to the 7th around ? It sounds like it was a different course design then the 7th round of champs. Just curious,  plus wondering if they plan on doing it for 2020 Champs. Thanks Donna

It was for people who didn't make finals and it was winner takes all, with the highest scoring run (no cumulative scores) earning a trophy for that height group.  You could also choose to skip your finals run and run in challengers but I don't think anyone did that?  We loved it and I really hope it shows up again next year!  We won the small dog division but I loved it even without that It was just a fun event to run and gave the non-finals dog one more chance to have fun that day.
