BCCA Awards for 2023

Joanne Williamson and Libby Myers-Buhite

Diehard Trophy - Overall Excellence in AKC Agility, both in Standard and Jumpers with Weaves

Designed by Chet Jezierski

Sponsored by the Beardie Agility Diehards

The BCCA honors the top agility teams at each competition level (Novice/Open/Excellent/Masters) in both regular Standard and Jumpers With Weaves (JWW) and Veteran Beardies competing in the Preferred classes. At least one owner of each Beardie must be a BCCA member to be eligible for these awards. 

"The Diehard Agility Trophy is established to honor the highest scoring bearded collie in Excellent level agility. The trophy features an original Chet Jezierski color drawing of beardies doing agility and is imbedded in acrylic and mounted on a walnut base. Plaques attached to the base allow the names of the winners to be permanently engraved. Designed by Chet Jezierski, it is offered and financed by freewill donations from the beardie agility community. Legs earned in Excellent A and B Standard, and Excellent A and B Jumper’s With Weaves (JWW) will be counted. To be eligible for this award, a beardie must earn at least three qualifying scores of 100 in Excellent Standard and JWW.

The scoring system is:
Each clean run will be awarded 1 point for every full second under Standard Course Time (SCT) In addition, each Double Q (QQ) (qualifying in both Standard and JWW on the same day) will be awarded an additional 10 points.
Points will be totaled for each individual qualifying leg and QQ, and then added together to determine the dog’s total score.
If a tie in points occurs, the beardie with the highest average yards per second (YPS calculated to 0.01 seconds) in Standard and JWW will be considered the winner. For Standard: YPS [course length in yards/(dog’s time on course – 5]
For JWW: YPS [Course length in yards/dog’s time on course]
YPS will be calculated for each individual qualifying leg and the average value determined for Standard and JWW. These two averages will then be added and the dog having the highest YPS will be declared the winner. If, after carrying out this procedure, the dogs remained tied, both will listed as the winners for that year."

The Denia Award for Standard Agility

Designed by Patricia White Cunningham

Sponsored by Glenn Hamilton and Emily Venator

"An annual agility competition trophy, donated by Glenn Hamilton and Emily Venator in the name of the first bearded collie to obtain an AKC Agility title, Am/Can CH Melville’s Poetry in Motion TT HIC NA CGC ADC FbDCH, is awarded annually to the bearded collie achieving the highest point total by earning titles in the standard agility classes through the MX. Only legs leading to titles will be counted.

The scoring will be based on the following sliding scale:

If a tie occurs in point total, the tie breaking mechanism will be to calculate the average yps (yps = course yardage/(dog's time - 5) ) for each dog's individual legs and calculate the average of these to 0.01seconds. The winner will be the dog with the higher yps average. If the dogs remained tied after this procedure has been carried out, both will be listed as winners of the award for that year." 05/11, 08/95-19

High in Jumpers with Weaves Trophy, in Honor of Mirage

Designed by John Stanbridge

Sponsored by Beth White in honor of Mirage, the first winner

"The Mirage Trophy for High in Jumpers With Weaves is awarded to the bearded collie with the most outstanding performance in JWW. This trophy, featuring a metal statue of Mirage performing the weave poles on a walnut base, was proposed and financed by Beth White and designed by John Stanbridge. Each year’s winner will receive a statue donated by Beth White. The base will remain in the possession of the BCCA.

To be eligible for this award, a beardie must earn at least 6 qualifying scores of 100 at any level of JWW (Novice, Open, or Excellent.)In Novice, Open, and Excellent A; only clean runs leading to titles will be counted. In Excellent B, all legs will be counted.

The following scoring system is to be followed: A beardie will receive 5 points for each clean run and 1 point for each full second under Standard Course Time (SCT). If a tie in points occurs, the tie will be broken by calculating YPS for each of the tied dogs’ individual legs and the results averaged. The winner is the beardie with the highest YPS. If, after this procedure is carried out, the average YPS for each of the tied dogs is the same, all will be declared winners of that year’s award." 04/01-02, 09/01-02, 02/11-02

The Preferred Veteran Trophy

Sponsored by Carl and Kay Widell

"The Preferred Agility Veteran Award is sponsored by Carl Widell in memory of Cagney, the first beardie to earn Preferred Excellent agility titles. This award will go to the top veteran dog, seven years of age or older, during the entire competition year, for performance in both Standard Agility and Jumpers with Weaves. (To be eligible for this award in 2015, the dog had to be born in 2007 or before.) Only legs toward titles will be considered. The trophy is a rectangular plaque with a large metal plate on the left side that is laser-inscribed with the words “Bearded Collie Club of America” “Preferred Agility Veteran of the Year” topped by a stop-action image of Cagney exiting the weave poles. On the right side of the plaque are metal plates for inscribing the winners’ names and years.

The scoring will be based on the following sliding scale:

If a tie in points occurs, the beardie with the highest average YPS (calculated to 0.01 seconds) for all Standard + JWW legs earned will be the winner. For Standard legs, YPS = STD course length/(time on course - 5). For JWW legs, YPS = STD course length/time on course." 05/06-01

25 Teams were eligible for the Veterans Trophy in 2023

The Lightning Award

Sponsored by Lori Weinberg

 The Lightning Award recognizes speed in AKC agility at the Masters’ level, for the fastest legs in Standard Masters or Masters Preferred and JWW Masters or Masters Preferred, during the year.  Preferred scores must be for a Veteran, age seven or over.  The award is sponsored by Lori Weinberg to honor Rocky, MACH PACH Chaniam Creag MXS MJG MXP3 MXPB MJP7 MJPS PAX XF. The custom steel award features a shadow figure of a Bearded Collie stretched over a jump. Yards per second will be used for scoring purposes.  The five fastest legs for each dog in Masters Standard and JWW (regular or preferred) are selected.  The high and low values of these five legs are dropped and the remaining three values are averaged. The averages for Standard and JWW are added to get the dog’s total score. The dog with the highest total score is the winner.  In the case of a tie, multiple trophies will be given.  This award was approved by the Board in December of 2015.

19 Teams were eligible for the Lightning Award in 2023

Standard Agility for 2023

An annual award certificate is established for the top bearded collie in each level of Standard agility. In Novice A, Novice B, Open, and Excellent A (now called "Excellent"), legs leading to titles will be scored, no matter the year in which they were earned. In these levels, a beardie will be eligible for the Standard award only in the year in which the title is earned. For beardies competing in Excellent B (now called "Masters"), all legs earned during the current year will be scored and there is no requirement for a title to be earned in order to be eligible for the Excellent B ("Masters") Standard award.

Scoring:
Novice A - Excellent: The scores of the three legs leading to the title will be summed and the beardie with the highest total score will be the winner. If a tie in score occurs, YPS will be calculated (to 0.01 seconds) for each of the three title legs and the results averaged. The winner is the beardie with the highest average YPS. If a tie remains after this calculation, all those tied will be declared the winners of the award for that year.

Masters: A beardie accrues 5 points for each leg earned during the calendar year and one point for each full second under SCT. Ties in score will be broken by the YPS calculation specified above." 05/99-03

"The winner of the Novice A standard certificate will also be the Sunshine Award winner, honoring the top Novice A beardie and handler." 05/99-02

Agility Invitational - December 2023

The competition year to qualify for the AKC Agility Invitationals to be held in Orlando, FL December 15-17, 2023 is now over. Each beardie earned one point for every full second under standard course time in Master Standard/JWW classes and 10 additional points for each QQ (qualifying in Standard and JWW on the same day). The top 5 in the regular classes and the top beardie in the preferred classes have received invitations to compete in Florida. If any of these decline the invitation, the next beardie in the rankings will be invited to compete.

Regular Qualifiers:

Larry Dalan with Bing (Wigglesworth Pride And Prejudice) and Ash (Wigglesworth Wynsum Gone With The Wind)

Lori Weinberg and Spark (Nonesuch Flint And Steel)

Jan Burgan and Tartan (Tweeddale’s Magic Tartan Of Brooknoll)

Joanne Williamson and Truman (Charter’s True North)

Preferred Qualifier:

Janice Leverenz and Lager (Wynsum Turning On The Charm)

Four beardies attended the 2023 AKC Agility Invitational held in Orlando, FL in December.  The medallion for the top scoring beardie in the competition was awarded to Larry and Bing.  

Joanne Williamson: "The Agility Invitationals were held in Orlando, FL, December 15-17 at the Orange County Convention Center. All the competitions (agility, obedience, conformation and dock diving) along with the crating and grooming space required for the thousands of dogs entered in these events were all in one HUGE room; one of the security guards told me that the building encompassed 20 acres around one roof! It was both an exhilarating and exhausting experience.

The highlight of the competition for me was the opportunity to see breeds doing agility that are not commonly seen at our local trials, from Bulldogs to Great Danes!

Eukanuba provided pink blankets as exhibitor gifts for all of the agility entries. Saturday, we arrived to find the crating area a sea of pink.

Six beardies were entered but only four of us showed, Larry Dalan with Ash and Bing, Lori Weinberg with Spark and Truman and me. This was Truman’s first trip to this competition. Friday, we had our warmup Time2Beat run to try out the ring surface and equipment. Saturday was a round of Jumpers With Weaves and Standard. Sunday was the Hybrid round (a bit like Time2Beat) and another round of JWW. Sunday evening was the final standard round for the top teams in each jump height. The number of teams allowed in finals was based on the size of the entry. Ten were chosen for 20 inches. Unfortunately, no beardie team made finals this year although (I believe) Larry and Bing had four clear rounds in the preliminaries and therefore won the breed medallion offered by the BCCA. Here’s a link to video of Bing’s hybrid run: https://vimeo.com/899940237

Competition in FAST was initiated on January 1, 2007. In order to qualify, a team must accumulate a certain number of points (50 for Novice, 55 for Open, 60 for Excellent) and successfully complete a distance challenge in a fixed amount of time (for 20" dogs, 32 seconds are allowed; preferred competitors get 3 additional seconds).; Each obstacle on the course is assigned a point value. The maximum number of points possible is 80; no one attained a perfect score in 2007. Beardies have proved to be quite adept at this fast paced and challenging game of strategy. The number of FAST titles decreased (76 in 2007, the first year of FAST competition vs 51 in 2008).

For each class the average scores have been tabulated; for Excellent B only, the number of legs earned is indicated. The BCCA Agility committee is considering adding FAST awards to the agility program

Time 2 Beat (T2B), initiated on 1 July 2011, is a combination course of Standard and Jumpers With Weaves. While dogs of any skill level (i.e., novice, open, excellent) are allowed to compete in T2B, to be successful you will need to demonstrate an advanced level of skills.

To earn a T2B title a dog will need 15 Qs and one hundred points. Points are awarded as follows: The first place dog will earn 10 points. All other qualifying dogs with a time that is within 10% of the time of the first place dog will receive 9 points. If a qualifying dog’s time is within 20% of the fastest time (the Time To Beat) they will earn 8 points, and so on all the way down to 90%.

Register of Merit for Agility 2023

Congratulations to the following Sires and Dams for earning the Register of Merit for Agility!

“The Register of Merit for Agility (ROMA) is given to dams with two or more offspring who have earned five or more AKC Agility titles and to sires with two or more offspring that have earned five or more AKC Agility titles.

The Register of Merit for Agility Excellent (ROMAX) is given to dams with two or more offspring who have earned 10 or more AKC Agility titles and to sires with two or more offspring who have earned 15 or more AKC Agility titles.
