How far can you fly? Precision meets power -- land it long, land it clean.

Objective

Field Setup

• Standard K9 Frisbee Toss & Fetch field (50 yards long) is used
• The5-Point Zone from standard League play becomes the End Zone target
• Throwing lines are marked at set intervals (e.g., 10, 15, 20, 25 yards, etc.)
• Distance intervals may increase in 5- or 10-yard increments, as determined by the Captain or event organizer
• Clubs determine throwing direction for all Teams

Game Format

• Each Team may take up to 3 attempts per distance
• A free start, where the dog begins down field before the disc is thrown, is allowed but the disc must be thrown before the dog reaches the End Zone.
• A valid catch in the End Zone allows a Team to progress to the next distance
• Three consecutive misses = Strike Out; longest completed distance is recorded
• Teams may pass on any distance but cannot return to it once skipped
• There is no fixed time limit per throw, but organizers may impose a pacing clock
• Each Team is allowed one Mulligan (a 4th attempt at a distance) per competition.
• After completing a catch, a Team may immediately move to a longer zone and continue playing, or they can break and move back into the line-up.
• Teams continue to progress until eliminated

Scoring

• A successful End Zone Catch is marked with an “O”
• A miss or foot fault is marked with an “X”
• Final score is the longest distance at which a valid End Zone Catch was made
• Tiebreakers(in order):
  1. Fewest misses at the tied distance
  2. Fewest total attempts to reach the tied distance

Skill Focus

Precision Distance builds:

• Throwing distance and disc control
• Strategic decision-making under pressure
• Dog’s ability to track and catch discs at extended ranges
• Timing and positioning from multiple distances

✅ Rules Summary

• Played on standard Toss & Fetch field
• Begin at 10 yards, progressing in 5- or 10-yard increments
• 3 attempts per distance
• 3 consecutive misses = Strike Out
• May pass on any distance (misses carry over if applicable)
• 1 disc in play; must reset after each throw
• Handler must release behind throwing line
• Dog must be fully across End Zone line and in bounds for catch to count
• Mulligan: 1 extra attempt allowed once per Team
• Longest successful distance determines placement

 

🔄 Exceptions to League Rules

• Dogs may be restrained or start free
• Dogs may cross the line before the throw (free start), but the disc must be released before the dog reaches the End Zone
• Handlers may reset before throwing
• Teams may switch discs between throws, but only one disc may be downfield at a time
• In absence of painted field lines, a leash or marker may be used as the throwing line

Strategy Tips

• Choose your starting distance based on confidence -- no need to start at 10 yards
• Use your Mulligan wisely at a distance you’re confident you can clear
• Practice footwork to avoid foot faults -- they count as misses
• Longer throws demand more time and control -- take a breath and set your shot
• Passing lower distances can save a dog's energy -- but increases pressure
