What are agility gambler and snooker?
Gambler and snooker are agility games. The idea of these course types differ from traditional agility and jumping courses in that the goal for the dog and handler is to collect points on the course.
Agility snooker
Snooker may sound familiar from billiards and in fact, the rules are based on it. Snooker courses test the handler's strategic skills. The aim is to score as many points as possible by completing obstacles placed on the track against the clock. Points are awarded for flawlessly completed obstacles and for combinations of obstacles. The course is divided into two parts.
In the first part, the red obstacles alternate with optional obstacles or obstacle sets. The handler draws up a plan beforehand of which obstacles he or she wishes to complete between the red obstacles.
The second and final part is similar to a traditional agility race, where the aim is to cross the finish line in accordance with the numbering of the obstacles.
Agility gambler
As in snooker, points are accumulated in the gambler according to the number of obstacles and obstacle combinations of different sizes. The obstacles are scored as follows:
Jump = 1 point
Double jump, tunnel, tyre, wall jump, long jump = 2 points
A-frame, see saw, games weave poles (6 poles) = 3 points
An obstacle chosen by the judge = 4 points
Weave poles, dog walk = 5 points
The gambler courses are also divided into start and finish. In the first section, the aim is to collect as big a score as possible while the time is running. Only flawless obstacle performances are awarded points.
In the final part, the dog performs the main gamble which consists of 3 to 5 obstacles determined by the judge. The main gamble must be performed without errors within the allotted time to score points.
