Join the Garden League!
Everyone is welcome to join the NDAL Garden League. We intend to operate this league at least so long as many of are confined to our own homes and back gardens.

Week 4 ~ May 3, 2020 ~ Box Game / Looper
The week 4 Garden League game is The Box Game (a Looper). This game will go into the Book of Agility Games as “Cotterman’s Bermuda Triangle” variation to The Box Game.
The Box Game is a numbered sequence allowing the dog to earn 10 bonus points if the handler either stays outside of the box while the dog runs the sequence or stays inside the box while the dog runs the sequence.
Faults shall not negate the bonus.
As this game will be run as a Looper (a numbered course run twice without stopping) there will be two bonus opportunities. However, our game master, Heather Cotterman has stipulated that the second bonus can only be earned if the handler switches the inside-or-outside choice of the first sequence.
The Box Game is scored: Time, Plus Faults, Less Bonus.

Discussion
The document: Garden League Rules and Stipulations contains our initial attempt to define how on ongoing virtual competition might work. Some of our methodologies will have to be learned as we go along.
I have attempted to explain my own very personal motivations for the Garden League in my own blog, if you’d like to follow along: Making a Small Difference

I love this variation! I love the switch to the other side of the box on the second round!
We’re having fun in the Garden League adapting games to a small space with only a handful of obstacles. Obviously, we need to document some of these in the Book of Agility Games.
Concur. That book must be a beast to edit. I laugh when new folks see that book for the first time, but it is a valuable resource.
