These results are preliminary only because I have not completed the team scores. Individual scores are done. I realized I needed to at least get the individual scores out.
Some interesting handling to check out. There are also demonstrations of training aids and food being used on course. Because training aids and food/toys have now seen some use in league runs, it is time we reassess how they are used and the scoring implications. That discussion will be forthcoming in an open comment period for rule updates.
Briefing for “May the 4th Be With You”
I must admit to being a Star Wars fan. So, I decided to modify a game concept I came up with back in 2012. Using a combination of previous league courses, this is what I came up with. I hope you enjoy it.
Objective: Use the Force (a la Star Wars) to guide you without faults on the course of your choosing.
Briefing: This game allows the handler to choose between two numbered courses, the Light Side or the Dark Side of the Force. Each path of the Force has advantages and disadvantages depending on the team. The Light Side of the Force is a more technically challenging course, but it is shorter. The Dark Side is easier to follow, but the path is long.
Pick your path and follow the numbers. Faults will be applied as they would be on a numbered course. No refusals will be called.
Only YOU can use the Force and determine your path!
Scoring: Time, plus Faults.
