RF Revolution Tournament -Truckee - 2008

 

 
Let's start off by noting that at no time during a heat should your dog be doing this:

Okay.  Moving right along with the narrative...

We took two teams. The Patriots, a Multi Breed team, consisted of Jakers, Honey, Brutus, and Wee-Bee. Airborne, the Regular team, consisted of Reno, Jake, Stella, and Daisy.

The weather was excellent for racing - in the mid-80s, but it was a little muggy, which made it feel warmer. It was a two ring tournament with 101 races on Saturday, and 93 on Sunday.

Racing went very well on both days, both teams ran fine. Stella decided to take the afternoon off on Saturday, but Gyp stepped in to give her a little break, and Stella was fine on Sunday.

Saturday both teams finished second in their divisions. I think racing ended around 4 PM. RF Revolution were very efficient getting us in and out of the rings!

Sunday morning there was an issue because the person at the Parks & Rec Dept who was in charge of ensuring the sprinklers did not go on apparently had major brain fade. Ralph and Barbara arrived at 5:30 to find the field and all of the club camps soaked. In spite of that setback, Revolution Flyball had the races starting only 15 minutes later than scheduled. I think racing was over by 3:30 in spite of an unexpected sneaky rain shower!

Sunday both teams finished FIRST in their divisions.
 
Honey and Stella earned their FDCH Silver titles, and Jakers won his FDCH Gold title.


What a great weekend!  Many thanks to RF Revolution for putting on such a fantastic tournament!
