4 Agility Team GB - International Tour General Regulations The following regulations apply to all Agility Team GB International Tour competitions and heats. All events must be judged under the appropriate and most up to date FCI rules & regulations in force at the time of the event (FCI Agility Regulations, FCI Agility Obstacle Guidelines & FCI Agility Judging Guidelines: Competitors entering any competition will be deemed to have agreed to abide by these regulations. All heats must take place at Kennel Club Premier licensed shows and the class name in the schedule should replicate exactly the name of the competition as stated in these regulations. Dogs entered in any heats must be eligible for the competition entered. Judges have the right to check the dog s Kennel Club Agility Record Book to ensure the dog is running in the correct height category. Where points are accumulated throughout the year these will be allocated to the specific handler and dog partnership (no substitution of dog or handler may be made). If more than one dog and handler partnership are on the same number of points after all heats have been completed, the dog and handler partnership which has achieved the highest place at a heat will take preference in the final allocation of places. Should this still not be sufficient, the process shall continue until a difference in the highest place is recognised.

5 Agility Team GB International Tour General The Team GB International Tour is a special agility competition. The competition is open to small, medium, large dogs who currently compete in Grades 4-7.
