Here is the website and a short version of how it works. United Field Trailers Association
http://www.ufta-online.comField size 7-12 acres
One dog/handler in the field at a time.
Dog must find, point, and retrieve 3 birds. Fastest time wins. 15 min maximum time. No points are given. If your dog point, you shot the bird, and the dog retrieves to hand it counts. NO JUDGING.
If you get a safety, it counts as a retrieve. (If you call a safety and the birds goes out of the field the clock continues to run until the dog comes back to you with or without the bird). Missed shots add time and you get a maximum of 6 shells.
3 min runs usually win. Average Time 8 min.
It is a blast. (Very similar to the BDC Bird Dog Championship)
All events pay money.
