 Thanks Karen. Okay going to try to make this other one a link. Hope it works okay.

This particular game is called Snooker. The first bar I knocked doesn't matter as it is only to start the clock. Then your dog has to go over a bar with a red flag, in order to be able to do another obstacle for points. It is a very confusing game and you really have to play it to get if figured out. If you goof up anywhere in this game you are whistled off the course. That isn't so in the other games. So this game can some times go very quickly, depending on the degree of difficulty and confusion as one after another gets whistled off early on.

Wow -- very cool!  The speed alone is impressive, but I can't imagine being able to remember the course myself, and keep up that pace -- nevermind training a dog to do it all, too!  I'd need CPR or oxygen after I was done running the course with my dog! 

 It takes some time to get comfortable with remembering the courses. There are still times though that I just don't seem to be getting it in my head. We get course maps in the morning and I used to have to pencil in the course and really study it. Funny thing now is, that I often do better remembering the course, without looking at a map. Normally we walk the courses just before running them. However, at the Nationals, everyone walks them in the morning and then, depending on your schedule, you might not run the course until late afternoon. It's just like anything though...practice, practice and experience.
