BASC Scurry League
The BASC Scurry League is a timed event where dogs compete against the clock by retrieving dummies over various disciplines.
The Scurry League is open to all gundog breeds (including recognised crosses of these breeds). Points are awarded per day: 1st place = 30, 2nd place = 20, 3rd place = 10.
As well as points for the league, Sporting Saint vouchers will be awarded to those in 1st, 2nd and 3rd place in each individual scurry.
How it works
Once the dog crosses over the line the clock starts; each return over the line stops the clock. Dogs maybe kept on leads or held.
Cost to take part
It’s £2 per run for each scurry and junior competitors (16 years of age and under) will be entitled to receive one free scurry ticket per individual scurry held at each event. Thereafter additional tickets will be £1 each.
How to win
The fastest dog over each event wins. There is no limit on the number of entries, however if the organisers feel that excessive competing of a dog may lead to injury, an entry will be declined.
The top 20 dogs in the league after the final qualifying scurry will be invited to attend a grand final to determine the overall winner of the league. A handler may compete in the grand final with more than one dog.
