Titles and Points

Like other dog sports, flyball offers a variety of titles for owners to attach to their dogs' names. Title points are awarded to dogs running on teams where the heats are run without errors, whether they win or lose.

• Less than 32 seconds: Each dog receives 1 point
• Less than 28 seconds: Each dog receives 5 points
• Less than 24 seconds: Each dog receives 25 points

Points are awarded to the four dogs that run for each heat, based on the total time of the heat. The total points accumulated by a dog translate into titles:

• Flyball Dog (FD) – 20 points
• Flyball Dog Excellent (FDX) – 100 points
• Flyball Dog Champion (FDCh) – 500 points
