What a great holiday tournament weekend full of successes!

Thank you to Touch N Go for graciously hosting this very well run tournament.

Thank you to Natalie and Jennifer McAllister of Dog Gone Devils for helping us with everything this weekend (from box loading, to running our dogs, to taking gorgeous action shots of the dogs!), we loved running pick up with you guys! (And thanks to Shauna for arranging the pick-up team!) We were also so grateful to have help from Melinda from SD Flyball, who did anything and everything that was asked of her with a smile on her face.

We had many successes this weekend. Our A team dogs ran their fastest time at 15.6 seconds (Savage, Frodo, Wicked, Haze).

Our B team dogs (Rain, Toby, Chill, and Gimli) ran clean all weekend and racked up a lot of points with our new friends Zoey and Duke of Dog Gone Devils (who were solid and reliable all weekend!).

Individual dogs and handlers also had many accomplishments!

The weekend started with Savage and Mallory getting a perfect start in the first race!

Rucker did an amazing job of keeping his focus during open ring time.

Journey from SD Flyball ran perfect recalls against two different dogs throughout the weekend!

Twyla and Klepto accomplished all expectations for box work and recalls in their first ever pre-flights.

Padme simulated singles against a veteran dog and will be debuting in singles at the next tournament!

Ogre successfully ran head-to-head over one jump against a dog throughout the weekend!

Chill and Rain ran as expected - perfect all weekend! Chill ran for a new, rookie handler, and was solid all weekend. We can never say enough good about Rain, who always comes through for us when we need her (and with enthusiasm)!

Toby was electrified when he got to run start on Saturday! On Sunday he was a little less sure about starting, but he worked through it and ended the tournament with a 0.04 start time!

Gimli is quickly figuring out the game, and started and finished the weekend strong!

Fiction stepped in whenever she was needed this weekend, and was one of most solid, reliable dogs not matter what we threw at her.

Liar was a good boy - he did not bite his handler and ran perfect as usual!

Frodo was thrown into multiple positions throughout the weekend and handled it like a trooper!

Little Haze was our A team anchor and our youngest dog that was part of our new fastest time for Wicked Team Flyball!

Savage and Wicked both ran solid and fast all weekend for new handlers!

And last but certainly not least, Swindler exceeded all of our expectations this weekend, and was successfully running anchor on our A team by the end of the tournament!

We are happy with how we ended 2018 (working as a team!) and look forward to more racing in the new year!

Thank you to SD Flyball for being the best hosts! Sometimes we like when it rains and everyone gets time to catch up. The taco bar, the raffle, awards are always top notch! Thank you to Michelle Altman Benedict for boxloading. Thank you Dave Collett for judging and the help starting one of our vehicles. Thank you Cynthia Khelif for helping at last minute notice. A special thank you to Jason Amanda from Pawcific Crush and all the guys who helped move our flyball box! We had fun and our dogs ran great!

WTF TEAMMATE OF THE WEEK

NAME: Just Chill Out RATN Top Flight World Class
CALL NAME: "Chill"
BREED: Jack Russell Terrier
OWNER: Shauna "Saucy" Taylor
PERSONAL BEST TIME: 4.533 s

Our 10-year-old height dog still almost never skips a beat and can run for anyone (but he especially loves junior handlers!). You can easily spot him in the lanes, as he is always bouncing several feet in the air for treats. However, he is always happiest after he runs when he gets to jump into momma Saucy's arms. Chill recently broke 35,000 points and is the #7 top-pointed Jack Russell Terrier in U-FLI. In addition to being a pivotal member of WTF, Chill likes to spend his free time causing chaos and hunting rats.

And now for our brags!

Our championship team took 2nd in Division 4. We couldn't have asked anything more from our championship dogs. They ran their hearts out and did everything we asked.

Our anchor dog, Haze, fell ill on the drive out to Missouri, and we nursed her back to health and saved her for the last few championship races in finals. Haze came through for us and really made the other teams sweat!

Frodo was stellar - he did not spit a single ball, and pulled out 3.7s all weekend and even a 3.6 in the final run-off!

Liar was Mr. Steady Eddie! He was consistently fast and never made a mistake, even for a new handler. Many thanks to Tamison Rife - she stepped in and handled this intense dog, who she hasn't run very often. She had very consistent passing, and she and Liar helped our champs team go 3-2 against Division 3, 4, 5 teams on Saturday!

Rain was on fire! In addition to running on our Dream Team on Friday, she stepped in for Haze to recover, and was running sub-4s all day Saturday. She came in, and did her job and then-some.

In addition to running a few races on a kid's Dream Team on Friday and running like a champ for her junior handler Kate, Savage ran consistent starts and sub-4s all weekend for the championship team.

Wicked has also turned into a racing fiend! She ran in 3rd in the line-up. She did not have one spit ball and handled tight passes like a veteran.

Our FUNSUCKERS team also played on Friday and Sunday. This team ran clean and consistent both days, and racked up many points! Despite subbing a large poodle mix for a small border whippet, they were still competitive and earned 3rd in Division 3 on Friday and 4th in Division 5 on Sunday!

To our surprise, Chill received his 35,000 point plaque. In addition to being the most solid, reliable dog we could ask for, little Chill was fired up on Sunday and even ran a 5.4!

Fiction, one of our most mommy-centric dogs who we thought would never run for anyone else, ran solid and fast for Kristi, grabbing her tug like a beast, and ran some sub-4s.

We are very proud of Tobias (who could be easily spotted towering above all the other dogs sporting his characteristic pink "racing stripe" mohawk) - he ran solid and consistent all weekend, ran several sub-5s, and earned his TFE-III title!

Finally, Twyla (our little Malinois) made her debut doing recalls during warmups on Sunday (her first birthday!). Despite the chaos of a three-ring tournament, she kept her focus and hit her tug with enthusiasm!

We were also honored to receive the Team Sportsmanship award from U-FLI amongst many deserving teams. This award means so much to us, especially since we are such a small team! We really learned how to work as a team this weekend, and are excited for the 2019 championships!

We are on the road, driving through snow and ice with approximately 680 miles to go, but are still ecstatic from such a great championship! Our weekend was a huge success! We made it to the final run-offs in Division 4 and came home with 2nd place. The racing was extremely close, the dogs were neck-and-neck, and Power Un-leashed pulled out an amazing victory over us. Congratulations for your well-deserved title of Division 4 champions!

Thank you so much to Power Un-leashed, Run Riot, CIA, and all the Division 3 and 5 teams for the great competitive racing all weekend. Our Dream Team, the FUNSUCKERS, also had a blast playing with Jane and Ella from K9Racers on Friday!

We want to thank the U-FLI championship committee, owners, judges, fellow competitors, and Purina staff for making this the most memorable championship to date.

Special thanks to Cirque Berzerk (Tamison, Alan, Nicole, Jesse, Paige, and Lindsey) for all the support box loading, running a dog on our championship team, sh****ng balls, and coaching - we could not have done it without them!

We are also incredibly grateful to Michael Borts of Sure Shots for pass calling for us all weekend, even though our races were often back-to-back with those of his own team.

And last but certainly not least, thank you to Rachael Brinkman for all of the neverending help and support, we could not have made it this far without her.
