It is meant to be fun and healthy activity of interest to any dog owner. FastCAT is a timed straight race of 100 yards and dogs run singularly. The dog s time to complete the 100 yard dash is converted into MPHs. HOW IT WORKS A handicap system is applied to a dog s MPH to determine the number of points earned. The handicap system is based on the height of the dog at its withers: 18 or greater = handicap is up to less than 18 = handicap is 1.5 Below 12 = handicap is 2.0 Points and TITLES - Points = MPH multiplied by the dog s handicap. FastCAT titles suffix titles are earned at designated milestones: BCAT = 150 points DCAT = 500 points FCAT = 1,000 points FCAT# = every additional 500 points Dogs will start up 10 feet behind the starting line. Prior to moving the lure to position it for the start, the lure operator shall announce hold your dogs in order to caution owners. Timing: The time to complete the 100 yard dash is recorded to the nearest 1/100th of a second (e.g. 9.11). GTCAHC will use electronic timing equipment.
