WELCOME!! to Jet Set’s Blast Into Fall Flyball Tournament. It is being run as one (1) two-day unlimited tournament with 25 regular teams and 16 multi-breed teams in 2 rings. We will go over the traffic flow on entry and exit to the racing lanes at the captains meeting. Please observe them to keep things flowing. 1^stplace thru 3^rd place division winners will receive ribbons and dog toys. Please sign up any dogs who earn NAFA titles during the weekend (and please only those that are earned at our tournament) on our posted sheet. We will be giving title ribbons to each dog who earned them at our tournament. Thanks for all of your entries – We look forward to some fantastic racing. We are having two rings which will provide over 60 ft. of runback. Racing will be 39 or 40 heats for each team. You will find a seeding chart, format, and racing schedule for Saturday and Sunday, along with directions to the tournament site on our website http://www.jetsetflyball.com . If anyone has any suggestions or complaints, please see any Jet Set members for assistance. The judges will be Scott Chamberlain and Phil Getty.

NAFA C-2 score sheets will be filled out with race schedules pre-printed. They will consist of one double sided sheet for each team. If you are using stickers be sure to bring one for each sheet. Please do not bring entire C-2 sheets unless your sheets have the races pre-printed.

Scoring:

All divisions will score 1 point per heat + 1 point per win (1/2 point for a tie and 0 for a loss)

Ties for tournament placement will be decided by: First - win/loss record on head to heads between the two teams and then if still a tie, Second - fastest time run when racing head to head between the two teams.

Teams will be assigned which ring they are racing in just prior to the end of the race ahead of yours. Please be ready to race at least two races ahead of your race as things can move rather quickly if two rings finish at once. Also be sure to notify your box loader as to which ring you are in. Remember no warm-ups may start until both teams have arrived to race. Check with your judge to be sure.

We have received only one set of large display lights, apparently the other set has been lost by UPS. The other ring will be using the regular lights with a tv monitor. So be prepared to have someone to use a start board in the one ring if your team uses one.

We will be looking for line and box judge volunteers for each race. Line and Box judges will be given a raffle ticket for each race they judge. A raffle prize will be given away at the end of race 50 on Sat. and again at the end of the days racing. Sunday will also have a workers raffle after race 140 and again after the last race of the tournament. A new pool of tickets will be started after each drawing. If you must leave before the raffle drawing be sure to give your ticket to someone. You must claim your prize by the end of the tournament or another ticket will be drawn at the end of the tournament out of all the tickets from the entire weekend until the prize is claimed.

If you see an empty judge chair, jump in there and judge. Don’t know how to judge? Ask to have someone instruct you.

Jet Set club members and their families are not eligible to win. If you see a Jet Set member judging ask to take their place.

The tournament will be held in an indoor soccer facility at the Blast in York, Pa. located along I-83 just north of the city. The building is fully air-conditioned.

The facility will not be open for crating set-up Friday. We have set a late start Sat. morning to allow for set up. You may however drop off any boxes and balls after 4pm and before 8pm Friday night.

New turf has been installed in the crating area and we have been restricted to the area we can use. We will designate areas around the outside perimeter of the turf court as places for setup. There should still be enough room for all.

There is parking for campers on-site overnight with no hook-ups or electric. There is also no fee. All campers are required to park in the rear of the parking lot. All indoor crating areas must have the floor covered with waterproof matting or tarps. Any outside crating may be set up in the grass fields outside. The outside has grass areas that must be kept clean as usual; bags and containers will be provided.

Please do not allow dogs to urinate outside along the front of the building or on anything someone has to pick-up (yes someone has to pick up trash cans to empty or store them). Please pay attention to your dogs as you talk or are preoccupied.

Several people complained about dogs that were not picked up after at the last tournament. I’m sure it was only because someone wasn’t watching their dog.
