NZARO and NALA
NALA has agreed to cooperate with NZARO and offer regular correspondence competitions as it already does with agility and Flygility.  

​

The Competition
Each month a course is provided. Participants are judged and timed. Participants will be ranked based on score, then time. There will be an Individual and a Club competition. There will also be a standard and a challenge competition. The Club competition will be based on the total score of the Club's best three dogs and handlers.  At the end of the year there will be awards for prizegetters.

 

How you can take part

Clubs dont need to join, but individual members wanting their results recorded MUST join. You can take part by joining  either NALA or NZARO. Joining NALA allows you to also run agility and flygility. Joining NZARO allows you to enter annual expo and other NZARO events, receive certificates and awards.

​

Rules and Judging
Participants are scored by marks over time. Dogs are expected to move with the handler around the course, and to follow the handler's commands to sit, lie down, etc. Penalties are gained if the dog deviates from the handler's side, sits to one side if supposed to be in front, fails to lie down on the first command, etc. All Clubs will receive the Rally-O NALA guidelines when they start competing. Anyone who has read the guidelines and is familiar with them, can judge NALA Rally-O.

​

MARRYING OF SIGNS.

Marrying is where two or more signs are placed at the same numbered station. In Zoom and Handy dogs signs may be married. Married signs are performed in sequence from left to right. For each level there will be a maximum number of stations that may have married signs.

NALA Link may include married signs.
