This is a disc dog competition with competitors from all over the US, Canada and potentially a couple of other countries in attendance.  Competitors compete all year to earn points to qualify for UpDog International Finals.  The event is 5 days long.  Set up would begin on Sunday or Monday.  Set up would continue on Tuesday.  Full competition begins Wednesday and runs through Sunday. We hold two to three award banquets as well that would need to seat 425-500 people.  Indoors or outdoors (covered).  We are looking for flat grass fields that are dog safe (no holes, etc.).  UpDog sets up 1 large tent (~30x40) for registration and merchandise, 1 large ~20x30 tent for sound and data entry.  Additionally we set up a 15x15 tent at each field as well. Competitors will place tents (10x10 EZ up style) on the sides of the fields for the duration of the event.  Our ideal site would have RV parking on site or very near, pet friendly lodging (allowing 3-4+ dogs) very near the fields as well as convenient parking next to the fields for all competitors and guests.  Generally baseball/softball parks aren't ideal due to the parking and separation of fields.  Soccer, football, polo, open grassy fields are most appropriate for this event.  2025 UPDIF was held at a soccer complex in Decatur, AL and 2026 UPDIF in an open field in Clemmons, NC.  The 4 previous UPDIFs were held in open fields in state parks.
