Overview

Each year U-FLI will acknowledge a U-FLI Champion in seven different divisions. These Champions will be determined from the results of an annual Championship Tournament. In order to compete in the Annual Championship Tournament, clubs must qualify through Qualification Tournaments.

Qualification Tournaments

Eligibility

1. Clubs, participants and dogs must be in good standing with U-FLI.
2. Clubs must have competed in at least two different U-FLI events held on separate weekends during the 18 months leading up to the closing date of the Qualifier being entered.
3. Only one team from each club will be allowed to enter a Qualifier.
4. U-FLI will designate a club's seedtime, based on the club's fastest tournament time posted during the 18 months leading up to the closing date of the Qualifier being entered.
5. Clubs may only enter dogs that are eligible for entry on their Regular Team.
6. Once a club earns a spot in the Championship Tournament they are ineligible for future Qualifiers in that same year.

The Qualifiers

1. Qualifiers may be held on the same weekend as a U-FLI tournament. Any dogs entered in a U-FLI qualifier may enter no more than three classes of competition. The Qualifier in this instance will be counted as a class of competition.

Annual Championship Tournament

Eligibility

1. Clubs, participants and dogs must be in good standing with U-FLI.

3. In the event that a qualified team is unable to attend the Championship their spot will be filled in the following order:
   1. The third place team in the same division from their qualifier.
   2. The fastest of all other third place finishers in the same division.
4. Clubs may only enter dogs that would normally be eligible for entry on their Regular Team.
5. Clubs will compete in the same division of the Championship Tournament for which they placed in the Qualifier.

Championship Format

1. The Tournament will consist of the same divisions and seed times used during the Qualifiers.
2. Each division will race a round robin format. Divisions that are too large may race a 'Bracket Format'.

Bracket Format

A bracket format may be used in Qualifiers and the Championship Tournament to separate large divisions into smaller brackets. Each bracket will race a round robin format. The first and second place finishers of the brackets will compete against each other in a round robin format. The placements of the final round robin will be the placements for the Qualifier or Championship Tournament.
