Each team is allowed up to 2 practice throws prior to the start of their round. The dog need not participate in the practice throws. Points are awarded for catches as shown in the Field Layout. A 1 point bonus is awarded if a catch is made with all for paws in the air at the time of the catch. At the beginning of a round the time keeper will indicate that they are ready.
Time begins when either the disc or the dog crosses the thrower's line and continues for one minute.
Thrower must be behind the start line whenever a throw is released, but may venture beyond the line as otherwise needed. Stepping on or over the line at the time the throw is released is a fault and will result in no points for that throw. All four paws must be on or beyond a yard marker in order for points to count for that distance. If the dog is in the air when a catch is made, the landing point is used in scoring the catch. Only one disc may be used per round.
