SCORING 2007 (UPDATED)
Purpose: The purpose of the Triathlon is to recognize the versatility of the saluki. The Triathlon consists of scores from the AKC Lure Coursing Trial, an independent Conformation class and the handler’s choice of Obedience, Agility or Rally. The handler must identify the Obedience, Agility or Rally class on the Triathlon entry.
Clarification: Lure coursing MUST be in competition with other Salukis - singles classes are not accepted and must be in the AKC Lure Coursing Trial. Obedience MAY be pre-novice class, but only 40% of the total score will count - a maximum of 80 points. This equalizes scoring for the lack of off leash work.
LURE COURSING:
Base Score - is one half (1/2) of the total course awarded by one judge or one quarter (1/4) of the total score by two judges for 100 points maximum. The Base Score will be multiplied by a factor of 1.5.
Bonus Points:
Bonus Points are awarded as follows – 1 point will be awarded for each dog defeated. For example – if there are 10 dogs exhibited in a stake, the first place winner would get 9 points, second place would get 8 points, eighth place would get 1 point, etc.
OBEDIENCE:
Base score - use one half (1/2) of the total points earned in any regular obedience trial class or 100 points maximum. For pre-novice, the maximum possible score will be 80 points because there is no off-leash heeling.
Bonus Points: (All bonus points require a qualifying score)
Bonus Points are awarded as follows – 1 point will be awarded for each dog defeated. For example – if there are 10 dogs exhibited in a class, the first place winner would get 9 points, second place would get 8 points, eighth place would get 1 point, etc.
AGILITY:
As an option to obedience, an Agility score (any Jumpers or any Standard class) of 100 maximum total points can be used instead of an Obedience Score. Entries in Agility, Obedience, and Rally are acceptable and encouraged.
A numeric score of 30 shall be used towards the Triathlon if the entrant does not qualify in agility, to recognize the effort. Unlike Obedience and Rally, there are no partial scores earned if a dog does not qualify in agility.
Bonus Points: (All bonus points require a qualifying score)
Bonus Points are awarded as follows – 1 point will be awarded for each dog defeated. For example – if there are 10 dogs exhibited in a class, the first place winner would get 9 points, second place would get 8 points, eighth place would get 1 point, etc.
RALLY
As an option to obedience, a Rally score can be used instead of an Obedience Score. Entries in Obedience, Rally, and Agility are acceptable and encouraged.
Because Rally allows the handler to give multiple commands and verbal encouragement, Rally will use the following scoring:
Rally Novice – 50% of the score for a maximum of 50 points
Rally Advanced – 60% of the score for a maximum of 60 points
Rally Excellent – 80% of the score for a maximum of 80 points
Bonus Points: (All bonus points require a qualifying score)
Bonus Points are awarded as follows – 1 point will be awarded for each dog defeated. For example – if there are 10 dogs exhibited in a class, the first place winner would get 9 points, second place would get 8 points, eighth place would get 1 point, etc.
CONFORMATION:
SCORE: Determined by judge's evaluation of dog and is recorded on Conformation Score Sheet. (100 points maximum). The Saluki will not need to be entered in regular classes.
Altered Salukis are welcome to enter. Conformation will be decided by the independent judge only - no bonus points for placements in the regular or non-regular conformation classes.
*If a dog qualifies in more than one bonus point category in any of the events, he will only awarded the higher bonus points.
Example: A dog wins first in lure coursing stake (12 Points) and first in an Obedience class (4 Points), he is awarded the higher points (12 Points)
