14 Eastern, Western, and Central regional tournaments
Each Regional is a two-day event comprised of three shows. Each
exhibitor must compete in all three shows in the division in which he
is entered. The three designated Divisions of competition are: Novice,
Open, and Super Dog (combined).
Placings in the Divisions are determined on the basis of total points
lost, qualifying or non-qualifying with prizes to the first ten
placements in all Divisions.
Titles and scores are accepted from the American Kennel Club, the
United Kennel Club, the Australian Shepherd Club of America
(Australian Shepherds only), the Canadian Kennel Club, and the
American Mixed Breed Obedience Registry. All three scores must be from
the same registry. Dual titled dogs must compete in the division of
the highest title.
