At our Blast Off tournament we hand out 4 special awards.
is awarded to the team that finishes first in Regular 1. The award is named after one of the original Rocket Relay dogs named Hollywood. He belonged to the founding member of Rocket Relay, Bob Davidson.
is awarded to the team that finishes first in Multi 1. The award is named after Chris Swan's Mal, Sabre who had to leave us way to early. In her short time, she made a name for herself and made Mals an essential part of any multi team. She helped Rocket Relay run the Multi Breed World Record at that time.
is awarded to the team that displays the most sportsmanship. Don was Aaron and Kelly's Step Father and how they got introduced to the sport. He was a valuable part of the original team and took care of a lot of the behind the scenes stuff in the early days.
is awarded to the dog that best displays Radar's heart, speed and overall just makes you take notice of that dog, just like Radar always did right to the end. Radar was the dog that changed the whole thinking around Border Collies. Before him it was smaller meant quicker and faster box turns but he changed all of that to bigger meant more power and over all more speed/faster times. You could not help but notice him in the ring, big red flashy Border Collie that ran 3.7 every heat back when 3.7 Border Collies were very rare. He helped Rocket Relay set many world records and helped them become the first team to break 15 seconds. He truly was one of a kind and is greatly missed by the team.
