BFA Dog Points & Awards

Submitted by Justin Shearing on Fri, 19/02/2021 - 20:00

The long enforced lay-off from flyball due to covid might present us with an opportunity to refresh the BFA Dog Points and Awards system. The enforced lay-off removes the rationale of continuity, familiarity and comparison for keeping what we have always had. With dogs having no racing for a whole year, historical comparisons and our traditional benchmarks for the progression of a flyball dog throughout it's racing career are now less meaningful.

BFA VIPER Update - March Tournaments 2021

Submitted by Rachel Short on Mon, 18/01/2021 - 19:06

The BFA committee has been closely following updates regarding national guidance relating to COVID-19. Due to the current UK-wide restrictions, with no confirmed date for restrictions to be lifted, the decision has now been made that there will be no BFA sanctioned tournaments held during March 2021. We are all missing flyball terribly but we feel this is the right decision to make at the present time.

BFA VIPER Update - January/February 2021 tournaments

Submitted by Rachel Short on Tue, 17/11/2020 - 21:22
The BFA committee has been closely following updates regarding national and local guidance relating to COVID-19. Due to the new national lockdown in England, with no guarantees it will end on 2nd December, or how the tiered restrictions might impact on us all when the full lockdown is lifted, the decision has now been made that there will be no BFA sanctioned tournaments held during January and February 2021. Although we are all missing flyball terribly, we feel this is the right decision to make at the present time.
