ADVANCED TRACKING COMPETITION 2010 The Vic Friezer Memorial Advanced Tracking Competition for 2010 was conducted over two heats and a final. Five dogs and handlers entered the competition but Don Brodie and Sky missed Heat 1, as Don was ill. Heat 1 was held on a property at Putty, ground cover was excellent but a few cows and a bull caused grief for Eric Camp and Sherman. Judge was David Kilner and stewards/tracklayers and cross over tracklayers were Tiki Friezer, Anne I Howard and Margaret Keast. Heat 2 was held at E.M.A.I at Camden with judge Kerry Williams and again stewards/tracklayers and cross over tracklayers were Tiki Friezer, Anne I Howard and Margaret Keast. The final was held on Sutherland's Tracking Grounds at Camden – probably the last time that this property will be available as it is being developed for housing. Judge was Tiki Friezer and the three "wonder women" Tiki Friezer, Anne I Howard and Margaret Keast were stewards/tracklayers and cross overs. In the Advanced Tracking Competition, the tracks are set out on the day, unlike a tracking trial where the tracks are set out beforehand, so being the steward/tracklayer can be verrrry interesting! Particularly on ground that the tracklayer/steward may never have seen let alone walked on before. The basic format of the track is approximately 500 metres in length with four to six turns of which at least two will be acute and one open; a one or a two flag start and a cross over track that may cross twice on one leg or on two separate legs. Legs may be any length. The Judge determines the actual format on the day. Competitors must find three articles on the track and a glove at the finish. Articles are whatever the co-coordinator can think of – this year they included a small [1.5"] plastic farmyard animal, a medicine dropper, a small pill bottle, small fridge magnets [very small!] and a wooden peg!
