2027 Last Chance Qualifier/World Championship Dates: Update Many of you have asked about the dates for next year’s World Championship. We’ve been doing everything we can to lock them in, but we’re still waiting to hear back from the City. What we can tell you now is that the LCQ and World Championship will take place either the week of September 13–19 or the week of September 20–26. The holdup is that the City of Chattanooga has scheduled an 18-month renovation of Ross’s Landing, the riverfront park across the river from Coolidge Park, so the 50+ events normally held there are being moved to Coolidge and other city parks. If needed, our fallback is to hold the entire event at Camp Jordan, but we want to hear back from the City about Coolidge before committing to that. We apologize for the delay. We’ve been told to expect an answer soon, and we’ll share the final dates as soon as we have them.

🏆 2026 Skyhoundz Club Cup 🏆 We introduced the Skyhoundz Club Cup in 2004 and presented it through 2017. MAD Dogs won every year but one, when IDDC took it home in 2006. I'm not sure why we stopped recognizing clubs after that. Probably because we got tired of MAD Dogs winning it. 😄 This year, with our new connection to Mark Vitullo's K9 Toss & Fetch League, we talked about bringing the Cup back to the WC, since he has something similar in his league. We discussed several options, but we didn't settle on a final format in time to announce it before this year's WC. On the last day of the WC, I realized we hadn't done anything about it and rushed to start collecting club sign-ups for the Sport Division. When we got home, I asked Mark if we could use his existing club listings to fill in everyone's club affiliation, and he said he could. I emailed anyone we couldn't place, so we should have a complete list. (Sorry, no Team Missouri or Team East Coast. 😄) The WC has grown from one series (SC) in 2004 to three (DD, SC, and XD) in 2026, so we wanted the Cup to include all three series and all of their individual games. Pairs events were not included. Thanks to Mark's efforts, we had all the club results to review. The next question was how many members' scores to count for each club. Our clubs ranged from 1 to 15 members, and the results changed depending on where we drew the cut. So we shared the blind results with a number of clubs and staff members and asked what they felt was fair. The majority felt 8 was the right number. Clubs with more than 8 members had their lowest scores dropped, and clubs with fewer received zeros for their empty spots. HOW THE SCORING WAS CALCULATED For each event, we took the total number of competitors and removed duplicates, so each handler was counted only once. First place received that number of points, and each place after that received one point less, down to 1 point for last place. For example, if Open MicroDog had 50 entries and six competitors entered twice, first place received 44 points. Yes, this means events with fewer competitors were weighted less. But larger events also tend to be more competitive, so we felt that was a fair tradeoff. Only each club member's single best score counted, even if they competed in multiple events or with multiple dogs. We then added up the top 8 scores for each club. A club with only 7 members received a zero for its eighth spot, a club with 6 members received two zeros, and so on. Based on all of the scoring, we're pleased to announce the 2026 Skyhoundz Club Cup results: 🥇 1st: Dacula Brightside 🥈 2nd: St. Louis Disc Dog Club 🥉 3rd: Mid-Atlantic Disc Dogs (MAD Dogs) 4th: Southern California 5th: Team Korea Congratulations to all the clubs! 🎉 To make this easier going forward, we plan to add a club affiliation field to the 2027 WC registration form. #Skyhoundz #ClubCup #DiscDog #DiscDogs #WCDC #Hyperflite
