SPLASH GAMES
All games are played from the ramp for safety.
Categories
Vets - dogs over 8 years or older on the event date
Small dogs - dogs that measure under 16” at the top of the shoulder blade (please note - we will not be measuring dogs at these events. We are using an honour system for this event and ask that you enter your dog with sportsmanship in mind.)
Baby dogs - dogs under 6 months of age on the event date
DOGGO MATH
Your dog has 75 seconds (or 90 seconds for small, baby, and veteran dogs) to collect as many points as possible!
We’ll have 12 facility-provided ring toys in the pool, all worth a different unknown point value. When time starts, your dog will begin retrieving as many toys as possible and bring them to the handler. At the end of the designated time, all toys retrieved will be calculated. The highest score wins!
In the event of a tie, the dogs that are tied will compete in a tie-breaker. They will have thirty seconds each (35 for small, baby, and veteran dogs) to retrieve just one toy each. The first toy that they return to their handler will be their new point value for the tie breaker.
Each toy can be retrieved once per dog and will be put back into the pool at the end of the dog’s turn.
IN THE ZONE
Use your 90 seconds (or 110 seconds for small, baby, and veteran dogs) to retrieve as many toys as possible, earning points for each toy retrieved. Strategically toss them in zones to maximize your point total in the time allotted.
In this team game, the lead dog will retrieve as many facility-provided toys as possible during their turn. The other dogs on the team will take their turn, and any time they make a “match” by retrieving the same toy as the lead dog, they earn points!
MATCH GAME
POWER UP
The pool will be divided into “lanes” using pool noodle uprights. Use your 90 seconds (or 110 seconds for small, baby, and veteran dogs) and your toys creatively to send your dog between uprights. Every time they pass through a set, they earn the points associated!
ANYTHING BUT A TOY
In this final game, a variety of dog-safe items that are not dog toys will be in the pool. Dogs will retrieve one item, multiplying their total accumulated points by the number on that item.
TEAM COMPETITION
Create a team of 4 dogs and join our overall team competition! Each dog on a team can earn points from each event they complete.
The winning team will be announced at the end of the event.
If you don’t have a team, or not quite enough dogs to round out a team, enter the team competition and we will create a team for you!
BATTLE OF THE BREEDS
The competition is heating up with this new battle addition!
Your dog's best score from each game will count toward the breed's team average, and prizes for the top breed will be awarded at the end of the day!
Only two dogs of a breed are required to make a breed team. So, invite those friends and get ready to battle!
