So today we hosted our first scent trial - The Scent Puzzle.
It was a trial with a twist. The first session saw competitors competing at 2 levels across 3 x 3 minute searches. The harder level “challenging” had an unknown number of hides - the twist, you could choose to answer a trivia question to find out how many hides there were. The catch if you chose to answer the question you had 30 seconds removed from your search time. If you got the question right you got to know the amount of hides if you got it wrong you did not.
The easier level got to know the number of hides of each search before starting.
In both levels every odour found earned a piece of a 3d jigsaw puzzle ( which I’m told kept everybody busy in the car park).
This was a lot of fun.
The Second session was the scrabble scramble. A massive search area ( 5 minutes ) with 2 sides. On one side every hide found earned a consonant, the other side earned vowels.
The competitors then got to lucky dip for their scrabble pieces having the time of the next competitor to complete a word aiming for a highest score.
It was nice to see some first time competitors just testing the water.
This trial could not of happened without the dedicated volunteers. I cannot thank you all enough, my co Judges Julie & Emily and my Timers/ Scribes and runners
Sharon, Monique and Lisa you guys were awesome.
Thankyou to all who attended I hope you had a lot of fun and hopefully we get to see you again at the next one

I am so bloody proud of this crew (this pic is of just a few). It started with teaching & helping them on their journey with scent and has developed into something much more. These guys are all competing. They have their highs and their lows, such is the world of scent but win or lose, qualify or non qualify they’ve got each others backs.
They have created the best team environment ever. I absolutely love training nights and competition days spent Whiff this Crew 🖤🧡 🐶🐾🐾🐾
