PCLV Offering Time 2 Beat (T2B) Demo
Time 2 Beat is a new agility class recommended by the 2009 AKC Agility Advisory Committee. At this time, AKC is researching this proposed class and asking clubs to host demonstrations in conjunction with their upcoming 2009-2010 trial weekends.
Time 2 Beat is a "hybrid" class built primarily from obstacles from Jumpers With Weaves, with the option of having one to two contacts included on the course. This class is unique, as each dog has the chance to set the "Time to Beat" for each jump height division. This is different than the current AKC classes (Standard and JWW) where the Standard Course Time (SCT) is set by the course yardage as wheeled by the judge.
