Practice starts at CanAm
Emma Mak
The 2019 Rule Book has been released and is on the NAFA website.
http://www.flyball.org/rules/rulebook.pdf
Of note, especially to those of you attending CanAm:
- False starts are no longer in effect for all classes.
- Practice starts are now available for all classes. At CanAm, we will be using a system that is being used successfully in Regions 5 and 7. A sign and flag/PVC combination will be placed in each ring on the starting lights pole. Competitors will indicate to the judge that they want a practice start by placing the flag into the PVC pipe. The judge will remove the flag after the practice start is completed.
Regards, NAFA

Voluntary Data Gathering Initiative at CanAm - New Measuring Device
Emma Mak
NAFA is moving ahead with the data gathering initiative at CanAm as we continue to explore potentially using the FCI measuring device. What we deem critical is creating a translation from the measurement of the dog's ulna to a comparable NAFA jump height (using our existing withers' measurements).
We are asking attendees of CanAm to consider volunteering to bring dogs that meet the criteria to participate in the data gathering process.
To thank participants for their time, we will be distributing $10 Vendor Bucks per dog (maximum 3 x $10 Vendor Bucks per owner), which can be redeemed with CanAm's official vendors.
Times
The data gathering will be available at the following times:
Please help us to plan by completing this google form to show you're willing to participate, and preferred times: https://goo.gl/forms/2qnHRbyBcijBH1Qf1
Location
The data gathering process will take place where measuring has occurred previously, at the entryway located on the north side of the building. Official measuring for CanAm will be done in a separate area.
Data we'll Be tracking
Dog's gender, age, breed (if mix - please identify as many breeds as possible), withers' measurement, measurement in cm of the ulna with FCI device
What we WON'T be tracking with the measurement data
Dog's CRN, name, region, owner's name, any other way of linking the data with the dog
Requirements for participants

Has your club signed up for the annual CanAm Classic Gift Basket Exchange?
Tomorrow’s the deadline!
This is a great way for your club to meet clubs from other regions. Each participating club would both give and receive a basket. We will assign clubs to each other and let you know in advance to whom you are giving your basket.
What should you include? Use your creativity and imagination! It can be a theme basket of items that are only found in your region, state or province. It could be a snack basket for the people. Or, perhaps you want to give something that is just for the dogs. It doesn't have to be extravagant, just something fun you want to share. Don't have a basket? No worries, just put the items in a gift bag.
If your club would like to be included in the meet and greet exchange, please visit https://goo.gl/forms/Wl75yKD97ti3RgcF3 and fill out the form to register by September 15th.
The form should include your club name, region, state and the size of your club (how many people are attending the CanAm). If you’ve participated in the exchange before and it’s convenient, please include who you’ve been paired with previously in the “Additional Comments” section of the form.
We will let you know what club you will be paired with and the number of people in attendance for that club, so that you can plan and make purchases for your basket/bag.
There will be no organized time for the gift basket exchange. Each club will deliver their baskets at their own convenience while attending CanAm.
Email canamgbexchange@... if you have any questions.
Thank you!
Jon Bescher CanAm Gift Basket Exchange Coordinator

Josh Beissel Spirit of Flyball Award
Presented by Animal Inn, the ”Josh Beissel Spirit of Flyball” Award will be given to the person(s) that, like Josh, exhibit and embody exceptional goodwill and sportsmanship towards other teams, as well as displaying a real passion and excitement for the thrill of competition and racing. Josh had a competitor's enthusiasm for racing but he was always humble in victory, gracious in defeat, and when he wasn't in the lanes racing he could always be found assisting another team or the host club. Josh embodied the spirit of a true ambassador of Flyball and Animal Inn was proud to have had him as a member. This award is intended to recognize others in our Flyball community that also embody that same spirit and joy for the game that we all love so much. To nominate someone for the "Josh Beissel Spirit of Flyball Award 2018", please submit your nomination to AnimalInnFlyball@... by September 21st. Animal Inn will select a recipient from those nominated by the nomination deadline.
