The aim of the Masters is to encourage more competitive running in UKA classes and improve the overall standard of top level agility in the UK. The Masters has been created for dogs and competitors whose goal is to compete at both National and International level. The Masters is also intended to attract the highest standard of judging over challenging agility and jumping courses.

General Rules
  • Open to all UKA Champion Level Performance dogs
  • Separate competition for each height
  • Agility and Jumping class with results combined
  • Handlers must run in strict running orders, failure to do so will result in elimination
  • Any late entries will run first


Scoring

  • Faults converted into seconds. 5 faults = 5 seconds
  • Time faults treated the same as course faults
  • An elimination = 100 faults
  • Dogs eliminated will also be given the course time as their time
  • Dogs with the lowest score will be deemed the winner
  • In the event of a tie the result from the agility class will be the deciding factor
  • Any extraordinary circumstances to be ruled by UK Agility
