2011 World's Location & Qualifying Criteria Announcement
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Medina, OH - February 9, 2011 - The highly anticipated announcement of the 2011 DockDogs® World Championships location and qualifying criteria is finally here.
After taking our live event to the West Coast last year, DockDogs® has decided to select a more central location for the 2011 World Championships. After much consideration and discussion it has been decided that the 2011 DockDogs® World Championships will be held at the Silverdome in Pontiac, MI.
"The Great Lakes Agricultural Fair has graciously decided to extend an invitation to DockDogs® to participate in their inaugural event" stated Brian Sharenow, DockDogs® Vice President. "We look forward to returning to the Great Lake state after a year long hiatus and bringing with us our World famous event to the state of Michigan" Sharenow went on to add.
The DockDogs® World Championships will again be held over Labor Day weekend, September 2-5. As the sport of DockDogs® is ever changing and evolving as we have decided to expand the Youth Handler aspect of the program this year. This season not only will there be an invitation extended to the winners of the Pro division in Big Air, Speed Retrieve, the Top Gun division of Extreme Vertical and Iron Dog; but the top ranked Youth Handler at each Zone Qualifier will also be offered an invitation to the World Championships.
While there are a few Zone Qualifiers left to be decided, the qualifying criteria can be found on our website under the "Events" tab. The remaining locations will be chosen in the next few weeks and announcements will be made as more information becomes available.
As is with DockDogs® qualifying tradition each team must be a 2011 Worldwide member and have attended a minimum of 3 National events on or before August 1st. For the full list of qualifying criteria for the 2011 DockDogs® World Championships click here!
