SCOA TRIATHLON SCORING 2007
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 handlers 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)
