Cynosport Travel Dictionary, 2011 Edition: Gamble

Cynosport Travel Dictionary defines "Gamble" as the act of taking a chance on whether your dog will weave independently after a long day of sitting around, thus getting 20 points... Or not, thus earning zero.

As in, this gamble sucks!

Here's the Team Gamble info- someday I'll report how it goes, but we are the last group, running WAY behind already.

In fact, the real gamble is whether or not we will run before dinner.

(And if you think all this time is an advantage... Psh. You don't know us! We will just be hungry and sleepy and will have stopped caring hours earlier!)

22" Gamble standings after Group D

The scores are really impressive so far, but just heard a 16" dog (I think John with Rush of World Team fame?)got 72. Wow!

And yes, I believe that Gator and Tasty are the MN versions. Yay!

Cynosport Evil #2: Day 2 aka Team Gamblers and, wait no, still just one class!

Let the Team Tournament begin!

This morning I woke up early and along with the Dog, went up to snag course maps so we could start planning. Alas none were there. Aha! The volunteer coordinator was surrounded by competitors clambering for information on map location. She yelled, "tell you what, I'll get them if you all sign up to work!!" then ran away while the competitors grumbled. I, however, decided to stalk her- shark style.

Ba dum.

We stalked all the way to Broadbent.

Ba dum Ba dum Ba dummmmm.....

She led us to another secret room and another lady- this one was the Big fish- she had a box of maps!!!

Dun dum dun dum dun dum....

We took chase after the Big fish through the pavilion.

And... Cornered her in West Hall.

BA DUMMMM!!! CHOMP. Course Map!

Rules might help, but there are many. On course gamble of jump weaves for 10 pts, the closing is triple points from in the gamble box. Start and finish on opposite jumps. No back to back or contact to contact in the opening. Good Luck All!
