About
Bite Club is…
a collective of UpDog sanctioned disc dog clubs collaborating to host a series of weekly UpDog competitions
that culminate with a Champion Club, 3 Top Overall Champion Teams (combined game scores) and individual club champs.
Bite Club 2026 Schedule
Spring Session – April 25th thru May 24th
Summer Session – July 11th thru Aug 9th
Fall Session – October 10th thru November 8th
Competitors: If you play with more than one UpDog club for Bite Club in a given week your scores will count for the first club you play with and your individual ranking will come from those scores as well. All your scores will be loaded on to the Team Site and count towards Achievements, UPs, UPDIF points, etc. but only the first set will count towards Bite Club. If you want your scores to count towards the second club instead of the first club that you play with you must fill out the Bite Club Declaration Form in advance of that week’s game play to let us know.

*Clubs must have at least 4 unique humans and 6 teams each week to be eligible for Bite Club awards–
the humans do not need to be the same each week, but it is encouraged to attend as many as possible to be eligible for club awards and overall awards. A TEAM (human and k-9) may only be “declared” with one club, but a human may choose to play with more than one club (i.e. with another one of their k-9 teams).
*Each club will play the two specified games during the specified week.
If additional games are added, register your event with UpDog. (If additional rounds are played, the first round of the Bite Club games would count for Bite Club scores)
*A club may schedule their play-dates on any day during the specified weeks.
The date does not have to be consistent from week to week.
Also, a club may switch their day during the scheduled week (i.e. for weather, emergency, etc. – please inform UpDog). Both games do not need to be played on the same day, however, each game must be completed in its entirety with all teams on the day it is played.
*All scores are to be via this form https://www.cognitoforms.com/UpDog1/BiteClubResultsSubmissions by midnight on the Tuesday per the schedule above. Scores are submitted for each individual game on the appropriate excel Data Entry Sheet and must be labeled correctly: city-date-game.
