Earning Titles: Challenge Games
Titles in NASDA are awarded when a dog accumulates the required number of points within a specific level. Each level has its own point threshold, and as dogs progress, they can achieve higher-level titles that showcase their skills and accomplishments. Titles serve as a recognition of a dog’s dedication, training, and success in NASDA events.
Bonus Points in Challenge Games
Although each run is scored the same as a regular run, Urban Locating and Lost Item Challenge Games have their own Bonus Point structure. When three or more dogs are competing, points are awarded by placement as follows:
- 10 points
- 9 points
- 8 points
- 7 points
- 6 points
- 5 points
- 4 points
- 3 points
- 2 points
- 1 point
