IRO WCH 2024 - QualifiCation modE
The following qualification mode applies to the 2024 WCH, has priority over the regulations in the IRO World Championship Guidelines
and is organised as follows:
The first starting place in each discipline can be freely allocated by the organization. Each IRO member organization still has the right to enter one starter per discipline.
The participant who is specified for the first starting place when registering only needs one B test with a minimum grade of “good” (240 points or higher) as qualification.
EVERY OTHER STARTING PLACE will be allocated according to the number of qualification points achieved.
For Europeans (= persons residing in Europe), two level B tests (under two different judges, at two different locations) with a minimum score of “Good” (240 points or higher) are required.
The average value is calculated from both test results and this is used as the value for the qualification.
For non-Europeans (= persons residing outside Europe) only one level B test with the minimum score “Good” (240 points or higher) is required.
If the scores of two or more dog handlers are equal, priority will be given to the competitor with a passed IRO Test; if the scores are still equal, the higher score in the nose test will be decisive.
