Judged! Feline and Canine Pounce Championships-Results!

Equines are also included in this event! Please read on to see how.

Welcome, feline and canine owners! Prepare your companion for the game of a lifetime!

Entry Deadline: Sometime in April

Object of the game:

Originally, this game was created and played by just kittens and puppies. Eventually, though, the adults realized that they could have fun with it too and it became more refined.
The sole object of the game is to pin your opponent to the ground and keep them there for five seconds. Felines and canines are allowed to play against each other, just make sure that the two opponents are of the same size! These games can get rough, but just make sure your companion has sheathed his/her claws (if they can) and remembers that there are limits! If the limits are not respected there is a human referee who rides a horse in the case of large competitors.

What do I have to do to enter?

1. Find two opponents of the same size (no more than 2 hands/8 inches/24 cm difference in height). Any breed can play against another- such as a Shedu and Tokota, for example.

2. Then draw a scene from the fight. The setting is in a sandy arena outdoors in the Spring/Summer. Referees/horses do not have to be included. Ideally, there will be two drawings per fight- one per feline/canine owner- but I understand if one owner has no time and is only leasing their companion out. Please state which creature won the fight so that if the image places there will be one clear winner, and comment here with your entry.

3. The winner will be picked based on effort against their gallery (and having the referee with his/her horse will be a huge bonus!), and then an overall 1st-3rd place will be picked from the whole show. (there will also be one or two judge's choices.)
