Hyperflite Skyhoundz Canine Disc Championships
The Hyperflite Skyhoundz Canine disc Championships is a series of more than 100 Local Championships, seven (U.S.) Regional Qualifier Championships and the World Championship (held each year in the United States). In addition, enthusiasts from many other countries are getting involved in the sport with a number of Skyhoundz competitions and World Championship Qualifiers taking place internationally. The year 2008 marks the 34th consecutive year of canine disc competitions. Hyperflite’s sponsorship of the Skyhoundz Canine Disc World Championship series, the largest disc-dog series in the world, ensures that disc dog competitors – world-wide – will have exciting venues in which to compete.
Hyperflite Skyhoundz Local Championships are free events, open to all competitors regardless of experience. Neither prequalification nor advance registration is required for participation. Competitions consist of Distance/Accuracy or, at the discretion of the local host, a combined event featuring Distance/Accuracy and Freestyle. You are welcome to enter as many Hyperflite Skyhoundz Local Championships as you like.
Eligibility for Hyperflite Skyhoundz Regional Championships in the U.S. is based on residence in a geographic region. Hyperflite stages a “last chance” Open Qualifier the day before the World Championship that gives competitors one final opportunity to qualify for the World Championship.
At Hyperflite Skyhoundz Regional Championships and the Open Qualifier, top-finishing teams may qualify for invitations to the World Championship in the following divisions: Open Division (Freestyle and Distance/Accuracy combined), Sport Division (Distance/Accuracy), MicroDog Division (open to competitors with dogs that weigh less than 25 pounds or that are 16 or fewer inches tall – teams compete in both Freestyle and Distance/Accuracy), and Pairs Freestyle (two team members compete together in Freestyle with one dog). Invitations to the World Championship are extended, at each of these events or International Qualifiers, to the top four teams in Open and Sport Divisions and the top two teams in the MicroDog Division and Pairs Freestyle.

The Hyperflite Skyhoundz World Canine disc Championship is the premier event in canine sports and features top competitive teams from around the world. In 2007, more than 80 of the elite teams in canine disc sports qualified and competed in the World Championship held in Atlanta, Georgia. At the World Championship, competitors can expect a memorable competitive experience, both on and off the field. There are always surprises – and the 2008 Worlds will be no exception.
