Grading Guide
The grading guide is a document that contains
information about each dog registered to race with NOTRA. Included in
the grading guide (gg) is the dog's registered name, its "call" name,
owner's name and its NOTRA registration number.
The grading guide also includes a score assigned to each
dog, its WAVE (weighted average). The WAVE is calculated using the dog's
scores from its last three meets. The more recent meets are more heavily
considered, thus it is a weighted average, not simply an average.
WAVEs are used by race secretaries to group dogs of
similar running ability together in races.
The guide is also used to track how many qualifying
meets or "legs" the dog has towards both the JOR (Junior Oval Racer) and
SOR (Senior Oval Racer) titles.
