Annual Awards Rules

The Agility Club Annual Awards will run from 1st October through to 30th September. Points are awarded for a top ten place and at the end of each Annual Awards year the final top two in each individual category (division winners in the Club League) are invited to receive a trophy at the conclusion of the Agility Club Annual General Meeting, with the awards being supported by ProPlan.

In all categories, points will be awarded as follows: 1st - 11 points; 2nd - 10 points; 3rd - 9 points;
4th - 8 points; 5th - 7 points; 6th - 6 points; 7th - 5 points; 8th - 4 points; 9th - 3 points; 10th - 2 points or 1 point for a clear round within the course time, placed lower than 10th or unplaced.

Points can only be claimed for places that are awarded. If the show only awards places to 5th, for example, then only places down to 5th can be claimed for.

RULES

  1. The Agility Club Annual Awards are only open to members of the Agility Club, and points can only be counted from the date of membership.
  2. Points can only be gained from Open and Championship shows licensed by The Kennel Club. The following are examples of events that cannot be counted: KC Limited shows, shows licensed by other Kennel Clubs or organisations, unaffiliated shows, finals, semi-finals, special or invitation events.
  3. Only awarded places in scheduled single-dog classes which meet with the Agility Club Committee's approval can be counted. All Standard classes are approved, with the exception that in Championship the Jumping and Agility qualifying rounds may be claimed for but not the Final. Special classes such as Gamblers, Power & Speed, Snooker, etc. will normally be allowed provided entry is based solely on KC grades with no additional restriction. The exception is that points from Junior classes may be claimed for dogs entered in either of the Junior Under/Over 12 annual award categories. Examples of Special classes that cannot be counted include: ABC (Anything But Collie), BC/WS (Border Collie/Working Sheepdog), Veteran, Allsorts / Any Size, Pay on the Day, Pairs, Team, Trio.
  4. In all categories, points are for one dog only, i.e. points for more than one dog are not added together. Where two dogs have an equal number of points the number of wins will be used to determine which takes the higher place, followed (if necessary) by the number of 2nds, 3rds, etc.
  5. Within the points 'year' a dog can only be entered in ONE category, and its points allocated to ONE club (which may not be changed during the year).
  6. At the end of the year the top 3 clubs in each division will be promoted, and the bottom 3 relegated. Any other clubs with 0 points will also be relegated and the corresponding number promoted from the division below.
  7. Results must be received by the Points Secretary within ONE MONTH (based on the last day for shows more than 1 day long). The final results at the end of the Annual Awards year must be received no later than the 7th October 2012.
  8. When sending points claims, all the details as shown on the claim form must be supplied on each occasion.
