Summer Splashdown 2024 - 3 Day NADD Event

Registration for this event is done through the NADD website beginning on June 7th.  Click HERE to register.

Prizes will be awarded  each day to the top teams!  At the end of each day, the First place dog in each Open Distance division and the First place dog in all Lap Distance divisions combined, will win a $50 Fleet Farm gift certificate and a Pier Pups ribbon. The Second place dog in each Open Distance division and the Second place dog in all Lap Distance divisions combined will win a $25 Fleet Farm gift certificate and a Pier Pups ribbon.  The Third place dog in each Open Distance division and the Third place dog in all Lap Distance divisions combined will win a $10 Fleet Farm gift certificate and a Pier Pups Ribbon.

In order to qualify to win prizes and ribbons, a dog must jump in 2 total splashes in a given day.  You can jump a minimum of 1 Air Retrieve splash and 1 Distance splash, or a minimum of 2 Distance splashes in a given day. You may jump in all 5 splashes in a given day if you wish.   However, only Distance splash scores will entered in the bubble. The bubble will not be cumulative over the 3 day event, but will start over each day.  The dog's longest jump of the day will be recorded as their end score in the bubble.  A dog may only place in one division per day.  The placements in the bubble for the Fleet Farm Summer Splashdown are independent of NADD scoring.  You will still receive any NADD titles you have earned at the event.

Prizes will be awarded shortly after the end of the last splash each day.  If you are not present to collect your prizes, you must make arrangements to have someone pick them up for you or pick them up at another event.  Just let us know when and where you would like to pick them up.

Event Structure

We will be running the event as a regular closed splash event with set splash times.   There will be only 3 teams in the staging area at a time:  the team on the dock, one on deck, and one in the hole.   We will also use the sound system and a white board to keep everyone up to date on the running order.

Ribbons

Ribbon labels will be placed on a table at the admin tent immediately following the splash.

​Try-its

Try-its will be allowed as space permits and during splashes if no competitors are waiting to jump. Try-its cost $10.00 for two Try-it tickets. These tickets may be used on any day of the competition.
