Gosh booboo, you sound like you got diarrhea of the mouth! Will you give it a break already? Stop blaming USCA for everything that doesnt fit your shoe; show some freaking sportsman ship.

"we don't slither because we do what's right"

Thanks, I so needed to read a good joke this morning...

While Wallace did get that 284 that does not give him an automatic spot. Only the first 3 placements from the 2012 UScA Championship and the WDA are assured a spot at the qualification and only then if the minimum is met. Remainder are chosen from teams that have competed in at least 2 of the qualification trials (2012 UScA Champ, 2013 WDC, 2013 AWDF Champ) and also make the requirements.

I didn't see Wallace on the competitor list for the AWDF.

People who accept to participate and are below 270 will not find respect in the dog/sport community! That has to be earned, not given by desperate measures. Sad day for them when they get to the field. Speaks volumes about the character and sportsmanship of the WDA organization and the participants.

Is there an agreement between UScA and WDA that a certain number of each will be on the National Team?
I think I remember something about equal number of each and the balance of alternates (3) switch between the clubs each year.

Sitasmom,

I thought I had already explained it. YES, there is written agreement between USCA and WDA creating the Selection Trial and calling for the two organizations to alternate hosting of the event. BOTH organizations (USCA and WDA) send ten (10) teams to a Selection Trial. Those teams must qualify to participate in the Selection Trial. USCA uses scores from three events (USCA National, WDC and AWDF) to determine who qualifies for the Selection Trial. WDA uses only its national. The Selection Trial is not new--this is the third year. USCA is hosting this year; WDA hosted it last year.

The top six (6) scorers in the Selective make up the team. There is NO 3 from each. If the top 6 placers are all from one organization, that is the Team. (Please review the make up of the 2012 Team--you will see that it was not an equal number from each organization. ) The number game was the way it was played, prior to the WUSV mandated Selection Trial. The Selection Trial is the same or similar manner used in other countries with more than one WUSV member, such as Belgium.

I agree Ggdpack.

GSDPACK ..The GSDCA-WDA has welcomed USCA members to participate in their trials continuously without surcharges while the USCA denied the acceptance of GSDCA-WDA scorebooks with SV judges scores in them for 6 years .. now that is an example of USCA sportsmanship. Now the USCA is forced by ultimatum from the WUSV to take the GSDCA-WDA scorebooks but will charge a combined additional $50 per entry for registration and participation by GSDCA-WDA members in an USCA trial .. more USCA sportsmanship?? Save me from USCA sportsmanship if that is what you want to call sportsmanship. It seems to me the GSDCA and the GSDCA-WDA have been the sportsmen over the years not the USCA.

Booboo:
I really don't know at this juncture whether you are simply misinformed, ill-informed, or you just like to play victim.

USCA, as with nearly every other member-supported organization, (including professional associations, recreational associations/clubs [such as golf courses sports leagues, etc), HOAs, copmmunit clubs, fraternities/sororities, etc.), charges a surcharge to non-members (notice the word and comprehend it--NON-MEMBERS, not just/specifically/solely WDA members). Why would non-members who do not pay dues to support the organization's services be charged the exact same fee as a dues-paying member? What other organizations do you belong to in the REAL WORLD ( as opposed to just the "dog world") that does not charge non-members more for functions and services? You would do better to address WDA's own lack of trials for its members. Wouldn't that be the real solution to your problem? IF you trialed or titled, that is.

That aside, what in the sam-hill does it have to do with the topic generally, or GSDPACK's statement specifically? NOTHING! Consequently, I must conclude that your point is to play victim.
