Flyball Open World Cup (FOWC) Information - Correction
Correction: We had some info lost in translation between FCI & NAFA! NAFA needs to confirm that there are US and Canadian teams SERIOUSLY INTERESTED in competing in the FOWC. They do not need to be fully committed to participating at this time. This will give those seriously contemplating time to explore funding, competition rules etc. They can later back out if it won't be feasible for their club. Please use the form below to notify NAFA of your club's serious interest in competing at the FOWC. **** Flyball Open World Cup (FOWC) Information The FCI has sanctioned the FOWC to be held in Germany on June 1-2, 2024 with a potential practice date of May 31, 2024. The location is at the Hessenhalle Alsfeld. NAFA has been invited to participate again and is allowed 5 teams each from the United States and Canada. We have unfortunately been given an extremely short time period to respond. We need to confirm our participation by this Friday, September 1, 2023. Teams are responsible for all expenses (airfare, lodging, incidentals, etc.) and in the past many teams have turned to fundraising events to offset the cost of competing. In addition, there are no “dream teams” allowed (think Regular vs. Open). Please also note that there are strict vaccination requirements when flying your dogs internationally. We ask for serious applications only. Should more than 5 teams submit for consideration, the Board of Directors will initiate a selection process. If your team would like to be considered for this opportunity, we ask that you complete the Google form linked below no later than Thursday, August 31, 2023. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSchkB3W2D7tefs7iAsovFbj-f0L3UxvUGNTNyOz7cwWvq_J6A/viewform Jayne McQuillen NAFA BOD Chairperson

CanAm 2023 Workers
Paid Volunteer positions! NAFA needs you at CanAm and it pays to help your organization. There are several ways that you can help out. 1. Line Judge or Table position 1 day – $100 2 days - $200, welcome bag, CanAm t-shirt 3 days - $330, welcome bag, CanAm t-shirt The position can be filled by a club or an individual or team up with a friend and share the work, providing your own relief breaks. 2. You can help out those dedicated line and table workers by giving them a break! - a 15 minute break in the morning, 30 minute lunch and 15 minute break in the afternoon. That’s 1 hour to relieve 1 position for the day. The breaks don’t have to be at a specific time, they can be whenever it works with your race schedule. Get a ticket for each race you work. There will be draw for a $50 gift card each day. 3. Not able to commit to the above but find that during the day you have availability for 15 or 30 minutes? We can absolutely use your help! Go to the pit boss area to find out which position needs relief. Get a ticket for each race you work. There will be draw for a $50 gift card each day. Flyball participants know the game and are the perfect fit to step in to relieve a position. There is a line judge training video at the bottom of the NAFA home page. Please email flyballfanatic@... to sign up or ask questions.
