Disc Dog Gauntlet Rules:

1. Any dog safe disc may be used, such as a standard variety of K-10, Fastback, Hero, or Aerobie or floppy. 
    

2. Dogs must start with a paw in the throwing box, but then can be released. Handlers must remain in the throwing box until they are finished with that obstacle, unless they must retrieve a disc to take their “Do-Over” on that Obstacle.
    

3. A team is given one chance to complete each obstacle.  Each team gets one “Do-Over” per round. They can choose to use it before leaving the throwing box of any of the four obstacles. If a team chooses to use the “Do-Over”, the "Do-Over" score will be the one marked on their score sheet.
    

4. Teams are scored by clearing the obstacle, and getting a catch. Scores from all four obstacles are added together. 
    

5. The obstacles will be run in order as shown in the diagram below.
    

6. In the event of a field interruption, the judge will make a decision and instruct you regarding your options. Nature breaks will be cleaned immediately.
    

7. In case of a tie in the second round for a prize winning placement, a coin will be tossed; the winner of the toss can either choose an obstacle or choose to throw first or second. The loser of the coin toss will choose the option that the coin toss winner does not choose.  Then it is sudden death at that obstacle until one team outscores the other.  In the event of a 3-way tie (or more), straws will be drawn to determine run order and the person who selects the #1 throwing position will select the obstacle.
    

8. Note:  To expedite this event there will be two judges and two teams on the field at once. As soon as a team completes the #2 obstacle and proceeds to #3, the next team will start the #1 obstacle. Be on the spot and have your dog walked and ready.
