Scottish Agility League Rules

 
  • The Scottish Agility League is open to handlers and their dogs who reside in Scotland and for Kennel Club Shows held in Scotland only
     

  • The League is representative of each dog’s achievements; therefore you can still claim points if run by a different handler
     

  • The League year begins in 1st January and ends 31st December
     

  • The Administrator for the League is Fiona Young.

 

Registration

  • Cost to join the League is £13 for registration which includes the first dog.   

  • Any additional dogs cost £3 per extra dog.  This is a fixed rate and should you joint halfway through the season the fee will remain the same. 
     

  • Juniors

    • If you Register as a Junior, your Dog's name will automatically have the letter 'J' inserted after the name

    • Juniors are free

    • Points may only be gained from Junior Classes in Scotland.   There are two Junior options – Under 12 and Over 12

    • NOTE when Juniors are entering points, you must ensure the dog name selected is the name that includes the 'J' suffix to ensure that points are credited to the Junior League

  • Veteran dogs have to be 9 years or over and the award is for dogs that gain places in Veteran classes only
     

  • Only Kennel Club officially measured dog height categories are accepted
     

  • The dogs will remain in the grade and height in which they start the League year, and for the duration of that calendar year
     

  • When registering you can choose to which Club you wish your points to be awarded.   These points go toward the Top Club award.   You cannot change your chosen club half way through the season.

Managing Points  

  • Handlers are responsible for submitting their own points.  These should be submitted as soon as possible after the end of each show, but at the latest, within 4 calendar weeks of the Show finishing e.g. Show closes on a Sunday, results to be entered by midnight on the Saturday four weeks later.  Any points submitted after the 4 week period will be removed.   Should you have any queries or questions regarding points please contact me at admin@scottishagilityleague.com
     

  • Points may be claimed for clear rounds even if no Rosette is presented.   For example, if you are 5th but Rosettes are ony given to 3rd, you may still claim for 5th and so on - only CLEAR rounds however!  You may claim points if you get a Rosette with faults.

  • Points MAY be claimed for:

    • All standard classes

    • KC Championship qualifying rounds

    • KC Special Classes i.e.

      •   Helter Skelter

      •   TFO

      •   Down and Out

    • ABC, Border Collie and any other breed specific classes

  • Points may NOT be claimed for:

    • Teams

    • Trios

    • Pairs

    • Final Rounds including Championship Finals

    • Invitational Event

    • Anysize/allsorts Classes

    • Pay on the Day

    • Fun

 

The League is run on an honesty policy.  A key change from previous years is the fact that everybody can see where and when your points were gained.  There will be spot checks made during the year and anyone found to be entering false results will be removed from the League and no refund will be given.

 

I will do my best to make sure that the information is correct but cannot be held responsible for any errors

 

These Rules are subject to change and any change will be notified via the Scottish Agility League Home page and on the League Facebook page.   The last revision date is shown below.

 

Should anyone have any questions or queries please do not hesitate to contact me via the Facebook page, email or chat with me at a Show.

 

I would like to end by thanking Hannah and Eileen once again for starting and administering the League over the past years and I will do my best to continue their amazing work.

 

Here is to a fun filled agility year and good luck to everyone!

 

Fiona Young
