JET SET DECEMBER FLYBALL FLURRIES – December 5th & 6th, 2009

 

 

 

WELCOME!! to Jet Set’s December Flyball Flurries Tournament.  67 teams are competing in one (1) two-day unlimited tournament with 25 Regular teams, 8 Multi-breed, 30 Open, and 4 Veteran 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.  1st place thru 3rd 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 sheets. Junior Handlers should also be entered on our poster to be recognized. 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. We will need everyone’s help in keeping things moving in the lanes. You will find a seeding chart, format, and racing schedules 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 Denise Lacey and Scott Chamberlain.

 

Clean Break Flyball Club will be holding Single Dog Racing on Friday
evening, December 4th, beginning at 6:00 PM. at the Jet Set Tournament.
You may register your dog(s) starting at 5:30 PM. Cost will be
$5/dog/run and each entry will consist of one practice run and three
timed runs with the lights available or any other lane work you wish to do within your allotted time. We’ll give you a certificate listing times for each dog that runs. Dogs participating in Single Dog
Racing do not need to have CRN’s so this is a chance to let your newbies
try their wings! We will have a flyball box available even if your box
hasn’t shown up yet!

 

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 side of the sheet. Please do not bring entire C-2 sheets unless your sheets have the races pre-printed. Also be aware that team lineups may be changed or a performance team may be declared up until the first race of their respective division has started. After a race has been run in a division no lineups may be changed for any reason in that division.

 

Scoring:

 

All divisions will score 1 point per heat won + 4 points for winning the race, 2 points for a tied race, 1/2 point for tied heats and 0 for a loss.

Ties for tournament placement will be decided by:

First- Fastest head to head time

Second- If still tied, fastest time in the division

Third- If still tied, a tie breaker race (2 of 3 heats)

Racing:

Single Schedule divided among two rings.

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.

The race numbers will show the team which is on deck and waiting to enter the next race.

 

Line and Box Judge Raffle – Brand New Dyson DC-15 Vacuum Cleaner

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. The raffle prize will be given away at the end of racing on Sunday. If you must leave before the raffle drawing be sure to give your ticket to someone. You must claim your prize or another ticket will be drawn at the end of the tournament until the prize is claimed.

  • Parking should not be a problem. Please observe all posted signs for parking restrictions.

We are asking teams to bring their own power source if you need to plug in fans, computers, etc., as we will be charged for any extra electrical outlets used, $21.00 per outlet per day.  Our contract with the facility only allows the use of 5 outlets per day before we are charged for additional outlets and we do use those for our displays, computer, etc. needed for racing.  If a couple of teams want to go together and share an outlet and split the $21.00 fee, that’s fine.  Please see me if you want to do that.  If you have any special circumstances, please let me know.

 

The tournament will be held in the West Wing of Memorial Bldg. - York Expo Center in York, Pa. The building is fully air-conditioned and heated. The West wing is new this year providing 1000sf more space than last year. The vendors will be located in the lobby and hall area this year to allow more crating area.

The facility will be open for crating set-up Friday. We will be setting up from 3pm Friday until we are done around 7pm. You may drop off any boxes and balls after 3pm and before 8pm Friday night.

There will be indoor crating for all clubs which will not be assigned, however we reserve the right to limit any club who takes too much room. 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. Please pay attention to your dog while you are talking so that you don’t miss picking something up your dog has left behind. Bags and waste buckets will be provided.
