About the event

The best handlers and their dogs will compete to become the best combination of 2018 during the UFO World Finals. To participate in the Open Combined European teams need 90 World Cup points (Check it on the UFO website). Teams from other continents need 75 World Cup points to participate.

You are qualified for Throw & Catch only if you finished in the top 3 of any UFO Local or Major.

You are qualified for Freestyle Only if you finished in the top 3 of any UFO Major.

The Last Chance Major on Friday (October 5th) will be your final opportunity to earn your points.

Since we are unable to host an event of this size at the Fly ’em High training field, the Last Chance Major and the World Finals will take place on the fields of the local soccer club (SV Houtigehage). This location has all the facilities we could possibly need. You will find a list of campings and hotels in the surrounding area below.

Participation of this event is free of charge (but only possible for those who meet the qualification requirements), but you are required to register by selecting tickets.

Dinner & Party @ Saturday

More detailed information will become available in the upcoming weeks. Thanks to our sponsors we can already announce there will be a free handler’s dinner on Saturday for those who are competing in the finals (drinks excluded). If your friends or family would like to join you, you can make their dinner reservation by adding a ticket (€10) for them during registration.

There will be a party, with a DJ, after dinner, so bring along your dancing shoes!

Informatie voor bezoekers (NL)

Toegang tot het evenement is geheel gratis, kom dus vooral langs indien u spectaculaire trucs wilt zien tussen hond en baasje. Naast de wedstrijden zijn er verschillende activiteiten, zo is er een markt waar leuke spulletjes kunnen worden gekocht. We zullen de prijsuitreiking doen van een kleurplaten wedstrijd. Je kunt een hapje eten en drinken. Daarnaast zijn er verschillende demonstraties van andere hondensporten.

Bezoekers kunnen parkeren op de parkeerplaats bij de hoofdingang van SV Houtigehage. U wordt verzocht om niet te parkeren lang de hoofdweg. Er zijn tevens twee uitloop mogelijkheden om te parkeren.

Let op!:
Beste volwassenen en ouders, wees er van bewust dat er op dit evenement veel honden aanwezig zijn. Deze honden zijn net als u en ik gesteld op hun persoonlijke ruimte. Raak honden dan ook niet zomaar aan, zonder hier nadrukkelijk toestemming voor hebben gehad van de eigenaar (Let op: Deze spreken niet allemaal Nederlands op dit evenement).

U mag ook u eigen hond meenemen, mits:

Deze om en rond onze velden is aangelijnd.
U de uitwerpselen van u hond opruimt (dit verwachten we immers ook van onze deelnemers).
U met uw hond onze wedstrijd velden niet betreed.

Traveling / Transportation

The location of the World Cup is a small town in the neighborhood of Drachten. Unfortunately there are no trains going directly to Drachten, so if traveling by plane we will provide some additional information. In the Netherlands we have a website (and App) that can help you navigate through public transportation www.9292ov.nl

By plane (+train / bus)

If you are lucky, you can find a ticket on the rather small Groningen Airport Eelde , but most likely you book a ticket to Amsterdam Schiphol or Bremen (Germany). From Bremen you can book a bus ticket to Groningen (tickets starting at €11,-)

Coming from Schiphol: Take the train to Heereveen, from there the bus to Drachten. (use: 9292ov)
Coming from Bremen: Take the bus to Groningen, from Groningen take the bus to Drachten. (use: 9292ov)
Coming from Eelde: Take the bus to Groningen, from Groningen take the bus to Drachten. (use: 9292ov)
