Tika's Championship Journey

SUMMARY: How many runs does it take to earn Tika a championship?

Hooray, boys and girls, more database fun!

To earn a championship in USDAA (ADCH in Masters or APD in Performance), it takes:

• 5 Gamblers Qs
• 5 Jumpers Qs
• 5 Relay Qs (with 5 different partners)
• 5 Snooker Qs (3 of which must be Super-Qs)
• 5 Standard Qs
• 5 Tournament Qs (at least one in each of Steeplechase, Grand Prix, and DAM)

Tika earned the required Qs for her ADCH with this many runs:

• Gamblers: 27
• Jumpers: 27
• Relay: 16
• Snooker: 36 (dang Super-Qs!)
• Standard: 39 (dang contacts/etc.!)
• Tournament: She came by these well before the other Qs.

In contrast, the experienced elder Tika earned the required Qs for her APD after this many runs:

• Gamblers: 12
• Jumpers: 8
• Relay: 7
• Snooker: 7 (4 of the required 5 Qs were Super-Qs!)
• Standard: 18!! (dang contacts/etc!)
• Tournament: Whipped those out!
