Update for league tonight:
Looks like rain is to stop after this morning.
We will start around 615/630pm to allow kiel to make sure there is no water in the ring and get set up.

Im changing up the game a bit due to timing and having to take everything out of the ring for Wednesday storms- so if anyone is able to help move bales and fluff into the pole barn that would be great. :)

Game tonight:
1 big course with almost the entire thing a distance challenge. There are two mats on the ground that mark the distance challenge- you can check it out before you run :)
The distance challenge: you cannot enter it until you call Rat and then you can praise your dog and get out.
One side of the tunnel is not in the distance challenge. Senior/master dogs: try a distance send to the tunnel!

I have made 6 different blinds so when you arrive today- give Kiel or I a number between 1 and 6 which will select which hide set up you get! So we will need wranglers to help out and pull tubes after each run.
You will have 3 minutes to find 3 rats.

Once everyone has ran, I will work on entering scores and helping take down the course. Then we can pot luck and hand out awards! BYOB! I will have paper plates/napkins/silverware :)
