IDAL Events

What is IDAL?

The International Dog Agility League (IDAL) is a monthly recreational agility competition between international agility clubs. Clubs play on a monthly basis. Anyone can play, additional players can join at any point during the season.


Each team dogs must be registered with IDAL for $10 US (one‐time fee per dog) before participating for their first time. The Paws4Fun Team Captain will facilitate registration of new team members.


Runs are scored by the participating club’s designated judge based on rules posted for the course (usually scoring is Time, Plus faults). IDAL compares scores against all that participated that month to determine the ranking teams/dogs. Scores and ranking of teams is posted by IDAL each month. Every dog that plays earns ‘Life Time Performance ‘points towards IDAL titles (points are based on various things, like the fact that they played, whether they got a qualifying score or not, how many other dogs they beat, etc).

How IDAL Events Work at Paws4Fun, indoors in 2022-23

All events are subject to Public Health recommendations related to COVID-19 in effect at the time.


Paws4Fun will participate in the IDAL events on the second and fourth Saturday of each month for the winter, beginning in November 2022 when the fields are closed, going until weather permits the fields to open outdoors, possibly into May 2023.


Twice a month, on the second and fourth Saturday afternoon (12:30pm to 3:30pm), Paws4Fun IDAL players will meet at SilverDawn (see the Winter Indoor Practice page for details about SilverDawn) to set-up and run an IDAL course. Runs will be video-taped (e.g. on participant cell phone) and sent to the team captain to be judged. Each dog will run the course twice, with a one minute warm-up allowed prior to running the first time. IDAL players will tear down the course once the event is complete.


IDAL encourages runs to be submitted for posting on the IDAL website, but this is optional. The Paws4Fun IDAL captain will submit the scores of all P4F participants each month.


Additional players may join the P4F IDAL team at any point during the season! To join the Paws4Fun IDAL team, see below - there is no cost from Paws4Fun to join our team.
