Staying up late reading TDAA regulations

5.2.2.2 Teeter Fly-Off
Determination of a teeter fly-off is judge’s discretion.  Leaving the plank after the plank has begun to move shall be deemed a fly-off only if the downside ramp does not touch the ground.  In other words, even if the dog pushes off before the plank settles the performance will not be faulted if the plank touches...

A fly-off shall *not* be called if the dog actually rides the board down, no matter how spectacularly the board crashes, and even if the dog tumbles and rolls.

Now there's an image!

I am super excited about TDAA (Teacup Dogs Agility Association) getting started in California. The first working seminar to introduce handlers to the rules and equipment was held last weekend. I had been hoping to audit but my schedule didn't work out. Now there is a flurry of discussion on the SmallDogAgilityCA Yahoo Group about getting fun matches and trials set up. There's just something so alluring about doing agility with fellow tiny dog owners, on tiny equipment.
