Below are the poodle performance awards that UPA will give out a rosette for and the criteria for earning them:
Highest Scoring Poodle in Rally
The award will be given to the poodle that earns the highest qualifying score between all classes except for the URO1-C class. When two poodles competing in the trial have the same score, regardless of the class or section in which the score was earned, the winner of the High in Trial award will be the dog with the fastest time (least amount of elapsed time). If the poodles remain tied, the tie shall stand.
Highest Scoring Poodle in Obedience
The award will go to the poodle with the highest qualifying score in the regular classes. Non-licensed and additional titling classes are not to be considered. Classes to be considered are Novice A and B, Open A and B and Utility A and B. When two or more poodles competing in the trial have the same score and competed in the same class, then the poodle with the highest placement in that class will continue to be considered. If multiple poodles in different classes have the same score then the poodle in the higher level class will be awarded High In Trial. If multiple poodles at the same level in different classes have the same score then the tie shall stand.
Highest Scoring Poodle in Agility
The award is given to the poodle that has the highest qualifying score of all poodles competing in the trial. When two poodles competing in the trial have the same score, regardless of the class or division in which it was earned, the winner of the High in Trial award shall be the poodle running under the normal SCT with the greatest difference between its running time and the normal Standard Course Time. If dogs remain tied, the tie shall stand.
Longest Dock Jumping Standard Poodle
This award will be awarded to the longest qualifying distance jump recorded in a splash. If two poodles have the same distance, the tie will stand.
Longest Dock Jumping Miniature Poodle
This award will be awarded to the longest qualifying distance jump recorded in a splash. If two poodles have the same distance, the tie will stand.
Longest Dock Jumping Toy Poodle
This award will be awarded to the longest qualifying distance jump recorded in a splash. If two poodles have the same distance, the tie will stand.
Most Weight Pulled per Pound (1 for A division and 1 for B division)
This award will be awarded per division. This award is given to the poodle in each division with a qualifying pull who has the highest amount of weight pulled per body pound up to the maximum weight limit per division.
Increments over the maximum weight limit are not considered when determining the MWPPBP award. When two or more poodles competing in the same pull and division have reached the maximum amount of weight pulled, regardless of weight class, the winner of the Most Weight Pulled per Body Pound award within the division will be the poodle with the fastest time. If the time is the same, the tie will stand.
Highest Scoring Poodle in Nosework
This award will be awarded for the poodle that has the most qualifying runs in all of the elements for that trial. If there is more than one dog with the same amount of qualifying runs, the award will go to the poodle with the least amount of faults. If there is still a tie the award will go to the poodle with the fastest combined times from all qualifying runs. If the time is the same, the tie will stand.
