2012-2013 Chukar Challenge Division Information

What is a Challenge? Challenges are regular season events that will allow you to build points toward the prestigious Dog of the Year and Overall High Point Dog awards, as well as your Wisconsin State Invitational qualification. The Double, Open, and Puppy divisions will run on Saturday, and Single on Sunday.

At Challenges, all entry costs include the following: general run cost (club/field usage, birds, traveling bird setters, scorekeepers, trophies, etc.), $10.00 toward Dog of the Year (for Doubles and Singles only), and payback. BDC sanctioning is optional and therefore is not included in the entry fee. This season, the BDC sanctioning is set at $15.00 per entry.

NOTE: the cost of entry fees have changed for the 2012-2013 season. These adjustments are due to a $2/bird increase and payback modifications.
