Side switches
at the table count 0, all other side switches count 1 and some may be negated
by the lead out from start or table. No stand alone sideswitches
count toward challenge level. So in
excellent for example, that’s 9 options and/or handler restrictions &
somewhere on the course, there needs to be 3 sideswitches. In novice there must be minimum of 2
options and 2 sideswitches. |
