RA Dog Of The Year 2015

[Peter Butterfield]

Well folks!… the 2015 trial season is upon us with one trial notched-up already.

Our LEADERBOARD has been rebooted and is now ready to start collating all retrieving trial results published on this site. A couple of changes to the format have been made this year that may be of interest...

The first is that the Status of updates to the database now appears in the Retrieving Trials Index in the RADOTY column against each trial listing. “Complete” indicates that trial result data has been added and will also link to the Leaderboard.

The second is that (for experimental purposes only) Judges point scores for each place will also be recorded this year where provided and a Median Trial Point score (MTP) will appear against listed dogs. The idea behind this is to provide an alternative performance indicator that is independent of influences from the varying stake level scores and trialling frequency. Let’s see what happens ???

A full description of the RA Dog Of The Year Rules appears on the Dog Of The Year Page below the Leaderboard.

As always, if you suspect anything is amiss or awry with the recording or reporting please let me know.

Good trialling everyone!
