There will also be Firearms instructors responsible for the simunition’s and safety of the simunition’s portion of the competition.
Penalties will be assessed as described in the competition Rules and Regulations. Any discrepancies will be handled by the lead judge.
The competition is a timed event. Time will be kept bya dedicated time keeper. At the end of a K9 teams run both times will be compared and the lessor time will be used. In the event of a tie, the team with the less penalties will be the winner.
Obstacles will be set up behind the Oviedo Police Department for anyone wishing to practice on them. The obstacles are not in any specific order.
Please give one of the handlers or the supervisor listed below a curtesy call that you will be using the obstacle course. We can also let you know if there are any issues with the obstacles or the grass field.
Remember, not all stations have an obstacle to negotiate. For example; the K-9 carry just requires you to pick up and carry your dog. There is no setup at our P.D. for this. Practice this on your own.
Teams may bring their own decoy for the running of the course and the fastest dog competition. If they are participating in the Hardest Hitting competition the decoy will be provided by us in order to keep the judging of the dogs simple and fair.
