UFO Club Championships

Many competitors have affiliations with clubs or teams consisting of several dog/thrower pairs. Club Standings are based on the World Cup Points earned by club members in the Open Throw & Catch Division of Major. Each competitor that enters the Open Throw & Catch Division at a Major Tournament will automatically earn 5 participation points for their club* at their first UFO Major of the season, and will automatically earn 10 participation points for their club at each subsequent UFO Major of the season. Additionally, each club member will also have the opportunity to earn additional merit points for their club based on their overall placing at the tournament. Dog/Thrower teams may only contribute points toward the standing of one club or team in the World Cup Series during any given season. Although only a competitor's top two placings at Majors count toward their final individual standing, there is no limit on the number of participation points a team can earn for his or her club. This provision is meant to encourage competitors to travel to other Majors in order to earn points toward the World Cup Standing of their club or team. Club points will be awarded as follows:

Competitors who claim a club affiliation are encouraged to put this down on their entry form at every UFO Major that they attend. Please only report one club affiliation. The first club affiliation that a competitor indicates at their first Major of the year will carry through for the rest of the year. Club affiliations CAN NOT be applied retroactively. Though we will correct mistakes on the website, leaving the "club affiliation" line blank on a scoresheet is NOT considered to be a mistake. The information on the scoresheet, inasfar as we can read it, will be the official record once it is in the hands of the UFO. Club affiliations are voluntary information; the UFO has no way to verify this information. If the "club affiliation" line is left blank, it will be assumed that there is NO club affiliation for that competitor.
