Dogfrisbee events in Central Europe 2013

I think, it could be helpful to save you from extensive googling by listing the events happening around this year ;). Please, let me know, if I've omitted something important.


Long--term competitions:

At lest some new photos

Some photos have been found in the camera ;).
One to carry the ball, one to smile around =).
``See the ball? Try to catch it ;)."
``Have you heard that too? Was that a snow--squirrel?"
``I look funny with the ball too =)."
A LOT of snow.
Jumping rather than just running =).

Some 2012 autumn pics

Some yet unpublished pictures have been discovered in the computer, so you may please your eyes by watching 'em ;).

Late autumn in Břevnov
A wise look
My left ear stands a bit, so you may have a brief look inside =).
Monkey see -- monkey do.

I have also been sent some pictures from Lahovice =).

A really tall ``Choďák", as seen by Lubomír Vičan

Rufík uses the Ultimate Frisbee style, i.e. running below the disc and then trying to catch that ... well to do so with his mouth is untrivial =). (photo by Lubomír Vičan)

For the webpage to look cool, also a pic with some diplomas is a must. Note, that Barnabáš is humble and does not seem to be enjoying the shooting (by Lubomír Vičan)

Bye Bye Summer 2012

Let's put some rests up:

To conclude our season, we attended Bye-Bye Summer DDFW. Proverbial cold exceeded my expectations. When realized that not only I am throwing really poorly in the wind and cold but I am don't enjoy that too much in the mud, I decided to quit on Saturday afternoon (yes, on Sunday, the weather without us was much better suited for frisbee =D). The only one of us three, who was apparently happy from being in such weather was Barnabáš =).

"Looks, someone is running in the snow!"
 Results are really shameful, the mistake is completely on the thrower's side of the disc.

Super Minidistance

  • Barnabáš 2 points, 79th place, below only those, who haven't caught anything =).
  • Ruf 9 points, 44th place, 11.5 was the minimum required for the second round.

DogDartbee (6 throw qualification)

  • Barnabáš 10 points, 49th place
  • Rufík 30 points, 38th place
It was a good decision to buy a good tent in the summer =).
 Happy to survive without catching a ``rýmička" and looking forward to some more warm action in the spring =).
Task: guess, where the competition was being held =).

Lahovičské dogfrisbee závody 2012

To earn more experience we participated this family atmosphere competition (only 9 teams). Despite grim forecast, the weather was perfect: hardly any wind, almost cloudy sky assuring enough light but no glare and moderate temperature. Well, my view of a "spacious training ground" is a bit different but it turned out to be perfectly fitting for this purpose =).

Thanks to Pavla for organisation, prize nibbles were tasty =).

Was I too quick or the disc too slow =)? Photo from http://manberry.rajce.idnes.cz/

Smooth collie meeting 2012

Usual place, usual agenda and as always a tremendous experience. The atmosphere has been slightly more intimate due to less participants, leading to one group instead of several smaller ones and talking to more previously unknown people.

Competitions were not the most important part (though being the fourth in the calling competition and the second in the tunnel competition made me proud of Rufík a bit =)), we are carrying fine experience with us. Barnabáš stood at home, enabling us to take a train and Ruf to show, he is an experienced traveler, calmly sleeping around legs of foreign people in the coupé  =). Except for dog laryngitis (probably caught from a coughing dog in the train) meeting was great.  We would like to thank to the organizers and are looking forward for future actions.
