Throws and catches are measured and recorded over a period of time not to exceed 120 seconds or 7 throws. Points are awarded based on the location of the catch and whether the dog is determined to be in the air or on the ground at the time of the catch.
Time begins when the first disc is released.
Throws that are released before the time expires count, even if the dog makes the catch after time has elapsed. There is no provision for replacing damaged discs during a heat.
