(ATLANTA, April 21, 2011) The Halifax County Convention & Visitors Bureau is pleased to announce that once again the largest disc-dog competition series in the world is coming to Roanoke Rapids! An Open Qualifier for the 2011 Hyperflite Skyhoundz World Canine Disc Championship will be held on Saturday, May 14th, 9 am, and a Qualifier for the 2011 Hyperflite Skyhoundz DiscDogathon World Canine Disc Championship will be held on Sunday, May 15, 2011, 9 am, at T.J. Davis Recreation Center, 400 East 6th Street, Roanoke Rapids, North Carolina, 27870, where athletic canines will be, literally, jumping for joy.

Admission is free for all spectators. Novice and veteran canine disc enthusiasts alike are encouraged to compete. All competitors will receive a free official Hyperflite Competition Standard flying disc, and the top teams will receive awards.
 Contestants and their canine teammates will earn points for tricks ranging from simple throws to unbelievable acrobatics. The event welcomes mixed-breed as well as purebred dogs. In fact, many of the canine athletes expected to compete were rescued from animal shelters.

Hyperflite Flying Discs sponsors the Skyhoundz World Canine Disc Championship Series which features more than 100 local-level competitions, nine U.S. Qualifiers, five International Qualifiers, a European Championship, and the World Championship, as well as 20 DiscDogathon Qualifiers, and the DiscDogathon World Championship.

Hyperflite sparked a canine disc revolution when it released the Jawz disc — the world’s toughest canine competition disc — designed especially for dentally-obsessive canines. Hyperflite’s training products, Disc Dogs! The Complete Guide (350 pages, 500 color photos) and Disc Dog Training DVD (an hour-long instructional DVD) have introduced thousands to the health and exercise benefits of canine disc play.
