LDKC brag requests and "Judging of the Jump exercises"

First of all, congratulations to everyone who gained points or legs towards their next titles and to those who reached new titles!!!

 What a wonderful show to attend.  The Lethbridge Club members truly go out of their way to make everyone feel welcome at their show.  The set-up for the rings is super, with conformation at one end of the building and obedience at the other.  YUM is all I can say about the concession.  Wow!!! Good food.

Please send all your brags to me asap and pics if you have them so I can post them on line.

Also, as a CKC Rally O judge, I would like to share the following with our club members in regards to judging the jump exercises in Advanced and Excellent Rally O.

“8.10   Scoring (all classes):

Non-qualifying (NQ) scores shall be given for:

•      bar knocked off the uprights of jump
•      using a jump as an aid in going over a jump
•      failure of dog to go over jump in the proper direction

No retry will be permitted for any error that results in a non-qualifying score

Appendix B  #34 - Send Over Jump, Handler Passes ByWhile moving with the dog in heel position, the handler directs the dog to take the jump, as the handler passes by the jump without stopping.  

When the dog has competed the jump in the proper direction, it is called to heel position and the team continues to the next exercise."

For example, if the dog attempts to go around the jump but is blocked by the handler stopping to make it jump, or if the handler has to stop and coach the dog to jump, or if the dog merely goes around the jump to follow the handler, or the dog goes under the bar jump, a "Non-qualifying (NQ)" score should be given, not an "Incorrectly performed (IP)" 10 point deduction.

I hope this clarifies any discrepancies you may have found in judging previous to knowing this.
