Relay is a team sport involving 4 dogs and handlers to a team. A series of jumps are set, some are in lines, some are curved, and the all are jumped in a pattern set by the moderator (a.k.a judge). Each of the 4 dogs runs the course one after the other and the team with the fastest time and least penalties wins!
The Jumps: There are several types of jumps involved in relay. Wing jumps, standards, double and triple jumps, board broad jumps, multi-layered standard broad jumps, "wall" jumps, fence jumps and brush (plants) jumps & hinge jumps. A pattern and combination of jumps is set by the moderator depending on the skill level of the competition, and all the teams run the same course.

Scoring: It's simple- the team with the fastest, cleanest run wins! Penalties are added for refusals, knock downs and skips.
