The resounding success of the Masters necessitates the next event: It is with great pleasure and enthusiasm that we announce The Players 2009 International Working Dog Sport Open Tournament.

This All-Breed, Tournament is open to any k9-handler team that has attained a 270 or higher at the VPG/IPO 3 Level within one year from the date of the event. It is the next chapter in the book that never ends but continuously reiterates the same theme: Elevating dog sport to the professional level to focus media attention on and financial attribution to the handler-k9 teams that show the best during the event.  Professional Dog Sport why not.

The cash prize for The Players’ Champion is $20,000.

High Tracking       $1,000.

High Obedience    $1,000.

High Protection    $1,000.

Additional cash prizes will be awarded and those will be announced in time.

We found that the Olympic-Style judging was appreciated by both competitors and spectators alike at our Masters.  We will continue to utilize this method of judging to determine our winner in the fairest way possible.

During the Players 2009 International Working Dog Sport Open Tournament we will also seek to increase awareness of and rally support in the fight against Diabetes and Cancer. Various fund-raising and educational activities will be held and we respectfully ask for your support for this most worthy of causes.
