Welcome to AMCW Weight Pulling

Final point totals are posted! Thank you for being patient. This year's results were too close to call right away, and required a full audit for the entire season. The results below are the official final standings.

For this season's weight pulls, AMCW will again run the "Point System." This system allows competing dogs (excluding Novice Class) to collect points throughout the season for awards to be given at the end of the year for "overall" placings. So there are actually two contests going on; the daily event, and the overall season event. Also awarded will be the "Most Weight Pulled" and "Times Body Weight" (dog that pulled the most weight times their own body weight).

To earn points, a dog must complete the first round of that pull event for an automatic 5 "qualifying" points. Additional points are earned by the place the dog finishes in, and are based on the number of dogs in the class. The last place dog will earn one point (6 total for the event), and each higher place earns one additional point. For the math fans, the formula is (# of dogs in class - (dog's place - 1) + qualify points). If a dog does not qualify, the dog earns 0 points for that day's pull.

NOTE: A dog may place in more than one class due to body weight fluctuation. The points a dog earns stay in the class they were earned in.

Last season, a number of dogs earned their WWPD (Working Weight Pull Dog) title. A dog earns a WWPD title by pulling 12 times their body weight the full 16 foot distance of the pull course. Click here to see what a WWPD Certificate looks like.

As the season progresses, the class tables below will be updated with the point totals for the top 10 dogs in each class. The complete listing will be available at each weight pull or by email request to our webmaster. The complete results for each weight pull will be available on this page as well.
