Rating by sport

WP

Weight Pull

P4P is the main performance. Pulled weight is useful information, but it does not decide the rating.

One rating per organization. Weight classes use the same rating to create a separate class ranking.
CA

Canine Athletics

Each discipline has its own rating. Result and dog height determine the current DVS performance.

Classes use the discipline rating to create a class ranking. Event pages retain the historical event DVS.
RG

Rat Games

Lower time is better. Only results from the same game and comparable class are rated together.

Games and classes with different rules never share a rating.

Details

Canine Rating 1.0
Why does field strength matter?

A strong result against a large, competitive field is more informative than the same placing in a very small field. The adjustment is deliberately limited so the sport result remains most important.

What happens when a dog changes class?

The dog keeps its Weight Pull or discipline rating. Its class rank moves to the class from its latest rated competition.

When does a dog become inactive?

A dog without a rated result for twelve months is removed from the current ranking. Its rating history remains on the dog profile.

Is Canine Rating 1.0 used elsewhere?

No. Canine Rating 1.0 was created for Canine Scorebook and applies only on this website. It helps describe current form and does not replace official results, titles or competition rules.
