NADAC Agility Titles by Class
Keep NADAC agility titles organized across Regular Agility, Jumpers, Chances, Touch N Go, Tunnelers, Weavers, Grounders and Gamblers.
NADAC Agility Title Tracker
Moose and I haven't run NADAC agility yet, but it's on our list, so I dug into how it works. NADAC agility counts things a little differently than AKC: every qualifying run earns points, and those points add up separately in eight classes, at Intro, Novice, Open and Elite.
Below you'll find the NADAC agility titles and the points each one takes, from your first Novice title to NATCH. If you'd rather not add up points after every trial, Dog Title Tracker does it for you, and it's free for 3 months, then $5 a month, with no charge per dog.
NADAC Agility Titles List
NADAC agility has eight titling classes, and each one has its own titles at each level. Every title on this list takes 30 points in that class and level. A clean run earns 10 points, so most dogs need three clean runs for a title. Intro is optional, and Gamblers starts at Novice.
| Class | Intro | Novice | Open | Elite |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Regular Agility | IAC | NAC | OAC | EAC |
| Jumpers | IJC | NJC | OJC | EJC |
| Chances | ICC | NCC | OCC | ECC |
| Touch N Go | TG-I | TG-N | TG-O | TG-E |
| Tunnelers | TN-I | TN-N | TN-O | TN-E |
| Weavers | WV-I | WV-N | WV-O | WV-E |
| Grounders | GR-I | GR-N | GR-O | GR-E |
| Gamblers | none | EGC-N | EGC-O | EGC-E |
To move up, your dog needs the Novice title in a class before entering Open in that class, and the Novice and Open titles before Elite.
What Counts as a Qualifying Run
| Class | What counts | Points |
|---|---|---|
| Regular Agility | A clean run under course time, or 5 faults or fewer | 10 clean, 5 with faults |
| Jumpers, Chances, Touch N Go, Tunnelers, Weavers | A clean run under course time | 10 |
| Grounders | A clean run under course time, plus 5 more if you stay behind the challenge line | 10 or 15 |
| Gamblers | Finish the gamble and reach 30 points in Novice, 40 in Open or 50 in Elite | 10, 15 or 20, depending on your total |
Outstanding and Superior Titles
After the first title, your dog can keep going in the same class and level. The Outstanding title adds an O in front, like O-NAC, and the Superior title adds an S, like S-NAC. The points are a running total in that class and level.
| Class | Title | Outstanding | Superior |
|---|---|---|---|
| Regular Agility | 30 | 100200 at Elite | 200400 at Elite |
| Every other class | 30 | 60100 at Elite | 100200 at Elite |
NATCH and Versatility NATCH
NATCH, NADAC Agility Trial Champion, takes 230 points in Regular, 130 in Jumpers and 130 in Chances. After that, every 200 more Regular points, 100 more Jumpers points and 100 more Chances points earns another NATCH, with no limit.
The bigger championships build on it:
| Award | What it takes |
|---|---|
| Versatility NATCH | NATCH plus 130 points each in Touch N Go, Tunnelers and Weavers |
| Gamblers Versatility NATCH | Versatility NATCH plus 130 Gamblers points |
| Grounders Versatility NATCH | Versatility NATCH plus 130 Grounders points |
| Platinum NATCH | Versatility NATCH plus 130 Grounders and 130 Gamblers points |
| Non-Jumping NATCH | 130 points each in Grounders, Tunnelers, Weavers and Touch N Go |
NADAC agility also has lifetime awards for every point your dog earns across all classes and levels, at 1,000, 2,500, 5,000, 7,500 and 10,000 points, and then every 2,500 after that.
Divisions and Jump Heights
Veteran Dog, Veteran Handler and Junior Handler teams jump 4 inches lower, and the Skilled category drops another 4 inches. Points from every division and category count toward the same titles, so there are no separate Veteran or Skilled titles. Dogs can start Intro at 15 months and Novice at 18 months, and any breed or mix can run NADAC agility once it's registered with NADAC.
Looking Up Your NADAC Agility Points
NADAC keeps your dog's official agility points in the Handler and Dog Portal on nadac.com. Log in, open your dog, and look under Point History. Points show up after the club sends in its results, so a weekend can read pending or 0 for up to two weeks. If something looks wrong, NADAC's support team can fix it.

Keeping Track of a NADAC Agility Weekend
A good NADAC agility weekend can leave you with plenty to remember. Which classes did your dog run? Which results counted toward a title? Did you update your points? What title path is your dog working on now?
Those questions are easy to lose track of when everything is sitting in notes, screenshots, spreadsheets, or memory.
The tracker helps keep NADAC agility results connected to the right dog, class, organization, and title path, so you can see what has been earned and what still needs attention.
NADAC Agility Gets Its Own Place
If your dog runs more than one agility venue, it helps to keep each one clear. NADAC agility progress should not get buried inside an AKC note, a UKI spreadsheet, or a general agility titles list.
With our title tracker, you can keep NADAC agility organized as part of your dog’s full sport record while still keeping it separate from other venues.
Your dog’s NADAC agility titles stay connected to NADAC, your points stay easier to follow, and your progress does not get mixed into another organization’s title path.
Eight NADAC Agility Classes, Four Levels
One reason NADAC agility tracking can get confusing is that progress may build across different classes, levels, and title types.
NADAC agility has eight titling classes: Regular Agility, Jumpers, Chances, Touch N Go, Tunnelers, Weavers, Grounders and Gamblers. Each one runs from Intro or Novice up to Open and Elite. Some teams are focused on the next class title, while others are thinking ahead to bigger goals like NATCH, Versatility NATCH or Platinum NATCH.
Proficient and Skilled dogs jump different heights too, and our dog jump height chart shows NADAC's next to every other organization's. NADAC's classes and terms are in our dog sport glossary. NADAC dogs start in Intro at 15 months and can enter every class at 18, and our age requirements page compares every organization.
Our title tracker helps keep NADAC agility progress connected to the right dog, class, level, and title path so you can see the progress more clearly.
What the Tracker Keeps Track Of
Keep titles, levels, points, class progress, and bigger NADAC agility goals connected to the right dog and title path.
Intro, Novice, Open, and Elite Progress
Track progress as your dog moves through NADAC agility levels, from Intro and Novice to Open and Elite.
Outstanding and Superior Titles
Keep going after the first title in a class, with the Outstanding and Superior points added up for you.
Points by Class and Level
Add each run and see how many points your dog has, and how many it needs, for the next title in that class and level.
NATCH and Versatility NATCH
Follow your dog’s Regular, Jumpers and Chances points toward NATCH, and the extra classes toward Versatility NATCH.
Multi-Venue Agility
Track NADAC agility alongside AKC, UKI, CPE, ASCA, USDAA, or other agility organizations without mixing everything together.
Start From Your Dog’s Real Titles
Your dog’s tracker does not have to start empty. If your dog already has NADAC agility titles, you can add them during setup so your tracker starts from your dog’s real progress.
Add what your dog has already earned, then keep adding new results as they happen. You do not need to perfectly rebuild every old date just to begin.
Start where your dog is now, then keep going.
NADAC Agility-Only and Multi-Venue Dogs
Some teams focus mostly on NADAC agility. Others add NADAC into a calendar that already includes AKC, UKI, ASCA, CPE, USDAA, or other organizations.
If NADAC agility is your main venue, the tracker helps you keep your title progress, points, and class goals in one organized place. If NADAC is one of several venues your dog runs, the tracker helps keep NADAC progress separate from your other agility records.
Either way, you get a clearer view of what your dog has done and what comes next.
Easier Than a Spreadsheet
Spreadsheets can work for a while. But once you start tracking different classes, levels, points, titles, and multiple venues, a spreadsheet can turn into another thing you have to maintain.
One tab for AKC. Another for NADAC. Another for UKI. A few notes about points. Maybe a screenshot you meant to update later. That can work until you need a quick answer.
The tracker is built around your dog’s sport record from the start, so NADAC agility progress stays connected to your dog’s profile as your dog earns more.
More Than NADAC Agility
This page is focused on NADAC agility, but your dog’s title story may include more than one sport or organization.
You can use the tracker for NADAC agility and also keep other title progress organized, including AKC agility, UKI, CPE, ASCA, USDAA, Fast CAT, rally, scent work, barn hunt, dock diving, obedience, and more as support continues to grow.
That way, NADAC agility has its own place without being separated from the rest of your dog’s journey.
Your NADAC Agility Points, All in One Place
Start with the titles your dog already has, then add new points as your dog earns them.
