Here is what we have...

Fun Fact - Qualifiers

When the 2020 NARC in Cheboygan, MI was cancelled, the 89 dogs that qualified for the that event rolled over to the 2021 NARC. We thought it would be interesting to see how many of those 89 dogs "double" qualified by points for the 2021 event and how many of the 2020 dogs entered this event. 

2020 Qualifiers - 89 
2020 Qualifiers that Entered 2021 - 59
 
2020 Qualifiers that Double Qualified - 30
Number of Double Qualifiers dogs enter 2021 event - 27
 
So what does this mean ... out of the 89 "rolled over" qualifiers 59 entered, which is 66%! 
And 33% of the "rolled over" qualifiers "double qualified." Out of those who double qualified 90% of them entered this event. 

With the 153 entries for the 2021 NARC, 38.5% of the entries were dogs that previously qualified for the 2020 event in Cheboygan, MI!
