Scottsdale, AZ 11/05/06 - FDDO Championships

Yes you are reading correctly, a 3rd organization disc dog competition during the same weekend, at the same event! Flying Disc Dog Open competition. This is a fun event with creative twists to the standard Disc Dog competition. An event called the obstacle course challenges teams to confront impediments such as a tunnel through which the frisbee must travel, then be caught in a designated zone, or poles of which the thrower must bank the disc around before being caught in the scoring zone. Lots of fun!

This event comprised 4 different disciplines, Obstacle Course, Toss and Fetch, Speed Disc, and Freestyle. The obstacle course and freestyle are emphasized the way the scoring is tabulated.

Bailey and I scored a respectable 12 (4th highest) in the obstacle course, and a had a good freestyle round to claw our way into a 6th place finish. Not too shabby considering there were 32 competitors.
