Welcome to the SV's Annual Bundessiegerprüfung (BSP) 2015! This year's BSP will take place in Hänsch Stadion in Meppen, Germany, running from 27th of May to 5th of July. We invite all dog sport and dog lovers to SV's celebration of the versatile working dog. The BSP is mainly centered around the german shepherds, but other breeds are more than welcome to participate as well. Will your dog become the BSP Sieger(in) taking the challenge cup home this year? We are all looking forward to an exciting gathering!

JUDGING AND PRIZES
HOW THE SCORES ARE DETERMINED
The score you get on the exercises are either determined by your depiction, story, or from an all-around evaluation of your entry/entries if the exercises are not depicted or written about. You will get a higher scores on entries you depict. For example; if you choose to make your only entry the obedience component, you will get a higher score in obedience than tracking or protection. If you make entries for obedience and protection, your scores in obedience and protection will be higher than in tracking. The score of the remaining event(s) will be based of your other entries. If you write an accompanying story for the events you don't depict, it will improve your score as long as it doesn't contain inaccuracies. If you draw all the phases and write a story for them, you can be pretty sure you have reached your maximum base score (extra entries of both the phases and socialization may heighten this as well, though). But be ware that we look for quality and not quantity when we judge.
PRIZES AND PLACEMENTS
Like in SV conformation, every entrant will be rated and graded. We will also be handing out High in Tracking, High in Obedience, and High in Protection to the dogs who get the highest scores in these phases. The dog that gets the overall highest (High in Trial) earns the title BSP Sieger 2015.
This year, the point total is 1190
distributed over 13 placements.Prize donations are much appreciated! Send a note to the Schaeferhund-Verein if you'd like to contribute with something!

Upon registering, your dog will earn IPO2, and upon achieving a passing score (s)he will earn IPO3. But be aware; previous IPO titles may be used as tiebreakers. A dog that entered with IPO1 to begin with is more likely to be placed below a dog that entered with IPO3 in the first place.

PART A: TRACKING
The track is laid by a stranger to the dog and is 652 paces long, aged 60 minutes. There are four corner turns of approximately 90 degrees.
Twenty minutes is the maximum time allowed to work out the track.
There are 3 articles to find, and they look like the ones depicted below.
Even though tracking is pretty straight forward, we have included this video for reference. This is how a dog should look when tracking, focused, nose low.
This is how the articles will look

POINT DEDUCTING FACTORS
The speed with which the track is worked out is not a factor in the scoring, as long as the track is worked out intensely, evenly and convincingly and the dog shows a positive tracking attitude. Aimless wandering, a high nose, urination/defecation, circling at the corners, continuous encouragement, leash-guidance or verbal help on the track or at the articles, faulty pick-up/indication of the articles and indicating a false object are faulty and will cause point deductions. Both picking up AND indicating by sitting/laying down etc. will also cause point deductions.
