Top Spots: Agility 2013By Holly WaldropDCA Agility Ranking CalculationsClasses (excluding Masters)A dog is credited with a title in the calendar year the 3rd qualifying score is earned according to AKC’s records. Only the first 3 qualifying scores are used in calculating class rankings regardless of how long the dog continues to compete at that level.

The scores from the 3 qualifying runs are averaged. The speed (yards/second) is calculated for each run based on the course yardage divided by the dog’s time, then the speeds from the 3 qualifying runs are averaged. Rankings are based on highest average score. If there are 2 or more dogs with the same average score, the tie is broken using fastest average speed.

If less than 10 dogs are listed in a category, then less than 10 dogs earned that title for the calendar year.

Masters classesFor Masters classes, dogs must have earned a minimum of 3 qualifying runs for the year and all qualifying runs are used in the average. The speed (yards/second) is calculated for each run based on the course yardage divided by the dog’s time. The scores and speed from all qualifying runs are averaged. Rankings are based on highest average score (which is always 100 in Masters) with ties broken by fastest average speed. Please note – Masters is the former “Excellent B” class and Excellent is the former “Excellent A” class. This is a new change for 2013.

Top 10 RankingsOnce the classes have all been ranked, then all ranking dogs from all classes are combined and ranked – all Standard levels together and all Jumpers with Weaves classes together. The rankings are again based on highest average score with ties broken by highest average speed. The “Class” column in the Top 10 listing indicates in which level the Top 10 dogs’ scores were earned.
