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:

  1. 10 points
  2. 9 points
  3. 8 points
  4. 7 points
  5. 6 points
  6. 5 points
  7. 4 points
  8. 3 points
  9. 2 points
  10. 1 point
