The Top 20 Invitational dog/handler teams at the BCSA Agility National, will participate in Excellent JWW and Standard classes and a course designed and judged by Diane Craig, AKC Judge on Wednesday October 20th.

Scoring for the BCSA Invitational rounds will be based on the same system that AKC uses for the invitational and the national. Course faults will be scored as follows:

Refusal or Run-out = 5 points
Wrong Course = 20 points
Failure (e.g. missed contact or dropped bar) = 5 points
Elimination (obstacle not completed or skipped) = Whistle (score of zero)
Course time deductions = 3-point deduction for every second over course time truncating down to whole numbers.
All obstacles must be completed or a score of zero will be assessed.

The 4-paw safety rule will not be in effect, however any dog incurring what would have been the 4-paw rule violation will be faulted 5 points and be required to complete the obstacle. The judge shall continue to judge the dog’s performance on the obstacle, i.e. refusals, missed contacts, etc.
There will be a special prize and ribbon for the Winner of the Agility Invitational (Gold), second prize (Silver) and third prize (bronze).
The BCSA is proud to recognize the Border Collie as the World’s premier Agility dog and bring that honor to our National Specialty. For more information, please contact Jacque Hoye BJHoye@comcast.net or Paige O’Donnell paigeodonnell1@aol.com.
