So basically, disc comps work like this...you get two 1-minute rounds to get in as many throws as you can. The further your dog catches the disc, the more points you get. Extra credit for jumping catches. There are two divisions - novice and pro. The novice competitors get to throw five yards closer than the pro competitors.
There were 11 dogs in novice and we ended up in 2nd place! Breeze did absolutely great except when it was time to pry the disc from her jaws :) We took the conservative route, trying to get in more accurate shorter throws. Turns out it paid off and we now get to move up to the pro division next time!
All in all, the day was really fun. The event was actually a part of a larger city-wide festival, so there were lots of people watching and wanting to pet the dogs. Breeze did a nice job behaving herself and didn't jump up on anyone. She showed nice control and played nice with the other dogs. She has really matured leaps and bounds over the past few months.
I'm not sure when the next disc comp will be, but I am excited to try it again on green grass :)
