Workin' Paws would like to introduce a new type of Fun Match, the F4-Series. The purpose of these Fun Matches are for participants to have fun and train as they do today, but also to add the atmosphere of competition. This series will be based on the Formula 1 car racing theme. The series will be made up of four F4 series fun matches with a cash reward at the end.
It is not a requirement to register as a competitor for the F4 Series while attending a Workin' Paws F4 Series Fun Match; non competitors can run the competitors course or the usual Fun Match embedded courses.
Thier will be 2 qualifying rounds for competitors in the F4 Series, and a final championship run after lunch.
A Team will consist of 2 members. Team members dogs can be in different jump heights, but for scoring purposes, the smaller jump height division will be what the Team is considered to be competing in. If replacement of a team member is necessary, thier is a service fee of $10.
