Flyball is a relay race in which two 4-dog teams race against each other in parallel lanes.
Each dog jumps four hurdles, triggers a spring-loaded box to release a ball, catches the ball and carries it back over the hurdles to the starting line, at which time the next dog is released - and the next, and the next - until all 4 dogs have run.
Speed is important, but accuracy counts, too. Any error, and that dog must rerun adding to the teams' total time for that heat.
