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

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- False starts are no longer in effect for all classes.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
