NATIONAL TEAM COMPETITION
TEAM AGILITY PENTATHLON CHAMPIONSHIP
The Team Agility Pentathlon consists of 2 rounds of Agility, 2 rounds of Jumping, and 1 round Speedstakes. The combined results from the 5 classes determine the Team Agility Pentathlon World Champion.
Each country will be eligible to enter 1 team. Each team will be comprised of 4 dogs, 1 dog from each jump height. Only 3 dogs per team will run in the 2 Agility rounds and the 2 Jumping rounds. No height can sit out twice; for example, a country’ s team entry might look like this:
Class 1: 300, 400, 525 Class 2: 300, 525, 650 Class 3: 300, 400, 650 Class 4: 400, 525, 650
Scoring is cumulative; faults are added to time, and the lowest score wins in all aspects of the Pentathlon.
JUMP HEIGHT DIVISIONS
The goal of the World Agility Open in establishing the jump height divisions listed below was to create a height division( our 300 class) where small dogs such as Papillons, Toy Poodles, etc. could compete internationally, as well as to create a Midi / Medium division( our 400 class) that was truly for medium-sized breeds. The 525 and 650 divisions split the larger dogs into two jump heights so that dogs are competing against dogs of a more similar height.
