EXPLANATION OF FLYBALL POINTS

The North American Flyball Association, or NAFA, has established a system of points to recognize outstanding performance by individual dogs participating on teams in the sport of flyball. In each race run at a tournament, four dogs from the team participate. Based on the time that these four dogs take as a team to successfully complete the run, points are awarded individually for each dog that participated in that particular race. The accumulation of these points allows the dogs to earn titles at certain cumulative point totals. Look here for an explanation of titles and how they are earned. Point totals are based on the career of the dog; all points earned by the dog are permanent, and carried throughout their lifetime.

Below is a chart which indicates the race times a team needs to achieve to earn these individual points. The first column is the points awarded for the race, the second column is the time in which the four dog team must complete the course to earn the points.

POINTS TIME NEEDED
1 point 28 to 32 seconds
5 points 24 to 28 seconds
25 points under 24 seconds
