The "Scooby" Award award was created to encourage participation and more enjoyment for handlers with larger breed K-9 athletes.  The award is named in honor of Scooby, the Doberman Pinscher disc dog pictured above, who left this world all too soon.

Rules:

• Your dog must weight 60 lbs or more to be eligible.
• You are scored by the division you enter and your finish in that division.
• Points are awarded based on individual dog/handler pairs using the scoring system defined below.
• Points can be scored in all the events at a competition that a team is eligible to compete in.
• Scooby Award is only given out at SOFK9s outdoor competitions, indoor competitions are not eligible. 
• At the end of the competition, each team's points will be tallied.  The dog/handler team with the highest total will receive the "Scooby" Award sponsored by Elbe Photography.

Scoring break down:

• Every entry in each event at a competition scores:
  • 1 point for entry in Novice Division
  • 2 points for entry in Intermediate Division (when offered)
  • 3 points for entry in Pro Division
     
• The highest placing eligible dogs in each division for each event will receive the following points:
  • Highest placement = 5 points
  • 2nd highest placement = 4 points
  • 3rd highest placement = 3 points
  • 4th highest placement = 2 points
