	Title	Winner	Description
	Best Freestyle Team	Tony Hoard and Rory	No one can argue with the season they have had, with only seeing Rory at our performances, then coming out of competition retirement to whip up on the best and winning the 2008 Skyhoundz World Championship for the second time! Congrats, guys!

	Best New Freestyle	Bill Ogle and Adonis	Only thing I can say, is what took you so long!?! They came out early this year, and just put together awesome routines, that made the crowd hoot and holler for them. Watch out, they are only going to get better next year!

	Most Improved Freestyle Team	Denise Thorton and Blaidden	This was the overwhelming winner, with seeing how far they have come from last year to this. Another team, with each passing competition, are getting better, and will be a force to reckon with next year.

	Best Toss N Fetch Team	Rick Kimball and Dugan	One word: Consistency. They go out every time, and I rarely see a miss. And what a great year for these two. One of their accomplishments were qualifying for the UFO World Cup All Star Throw and Catch, and finishing a respectable fourth. Good job, guys!

	Best New Toss n Fetch Team	Chandler Curtis and Fury	Chandler got a jewel in Fury. What a quick little dog! And a great year for them also, with winning the North Central Regional, with a monster D and A round, and qualifying for the Skyhoundz Microdog World Championship!

	Most Improved Toss N Fetch Team	Rick Kimball and Dugan	I bet Mary Jo knows more than anyone, but I know they have really been working on their game, and it is paying off. Look at any of the results this year, and there is Rick and Dugan right at the top!

	Best Overall Team	Mark Gose and Mya	I don't like to give out the results of the voting, but Mark and Mya where run away winners. The first thing that comes to mind is Smooth. A Great showing in FL, at the UFO Worlds, and alway at the top in the final results in all competitions they enter.

	Best Overall Canine Competitor	Mya Gose	An athlete in every sense of the word, Mya is well deserving of this award. Mark and her always team up to be a force in every event they enter.

	Junior Handler of the Year	Neo King	As Neo gets older, his throwing and control of the dog is getting better. He had a good handle on Monty at the party. This will be interesting as his brother, Pre, gets older. They will be battling it out every time they step on the field!

	Best New Move	Tony Hoard and Zanie J	Dancing on two legs What a great opening to showcase the dogs talent, having Zanie up on two, while her and Tony do a little dance. Also gets her focused on Tony from the start.

	Most Entertaining Team to Watch	Don Lang and Lily	What can I say, if you have seen this team, you know they have so much fun on the field. You never know what Don will come up with next, from Don "Travolta", or an Hawaiian theme.

	Keeping it Fun	Chip Hershey and Lexi	I just like to live by our clubs' motto: Where having fun is more important than winning!

	Most Embarrassing Moment	Mary Jo Corso	For those of you who don't know, at first it wasn't embarrassing, it was scary. At a performance in Chicago, between shows, MJ was working on some moves with Rudy, when Rudy jumped up and almost broke MJ's nose. Instant blood flow, and the paramedics were called to check her out. When I first saw her, she was sitting backstage with an ice pack on her nose. No way did I think she would continue, but being the trooper she is, she only missed the next show, and went out for the show after that!

	Best Mental Attitude	Danny Eggleston	Danny always shows his best side, whatever the situation. Sorry for bringing this up, Danny, but I saw him go out and score a goose egg on a toss n fetch round, one of that teams strengths, and you would have never known it. But I am sure it was killing him on the inside.

	Best IDDC Event	Indy Disc Dog Classic	Everyone could learn from Mary Jo and Rick how to put on a first class event! I have never heard anything but good things from the IDDC's IDDC. Brings in a lot of competitors from all over the world, and is kind of the IDDC's flagship event.
