In TimeTrial, each competitor or team will attempt to complete two 20-yard (18.3 meter) throws to a canine in the shortest amount of time possible. To qualify as a successful throw, the disc must be caught by the canine beyond the 20-yard (18.3 meter) line that runs from one side of the field to the other (there are no side-boundary lines). A maximum time of one minute will be permitted.
Spot Landing challenges competitors to complete as many catches as possible in the designated scoring zones within the time allotted.
Freestyle is a free-form, choreographed, routine scored by judges with an emphasis on success, variety, innovation, and the athletic skills of the canine and thrower.
Distance/Accuracy (sometimes referred to as D/A or D & A) is a fast-paced event in which teams attempt to score points by completing as many catches as possible within various scoring zones in the time allotted. The thrower must always throw from behind the throwing line and between the throwing line cones but may move freely around the field at other times. A throw will not be scored if the thrower steps on or over the throwing line prior to or during the release of the disc (foot fault). If the disc leaves the thrower’s hand before time is called, the throw will be scored if caught by the canine inbounds.
Bullseye is a fast-paced and updated derivation of the original circular canine disc distance format.
To begin, the thrower and the canine must both be within the throwing circle. Once time begins, the thrower and canine may move freely about the field to catch and/or retrieve discs. All throws must be made from within the throwing circle.
