I have the AKC WTT DVD from last year, and I've watched it about a billion times. My mom often watches it with me, and one day jokingly I told her, "Chaos could never do this. Even if he was magically ten times faster and trained perfectly, he could never even go to AKC World Team Tryouts. Want to guess why?" After an hour she still couldn't figure it out. When I told her it was because he didn't have an AKC pedigree, she literally flipped about how totally wrong and "horrible" that is. To me it seemed like a fact of life kind of thing, not particularly offensive, but man, she was upset! I'm with you.
Some of my agility-obsessed friends didn't even know there /was/ an IFCS world team before I mentioned it. Sad.
