Flyball ghost club(s) are something new.  The word 'ghost' conjers up fun images and goofy costumes at parties, the MIB movie series, and even dusty old ghost towns everyone loves out West or in old western-themed movies.  But, in flyball?  Really!

There seems to be a problem with these clubs in some flyball areas according to an article I just read.  According to the article flyballers are purchasing these clubs, i.e., paying a fee to a flyball governing body, and then entering tournaments...and, paying more money, part of which goes to the same flyball governing body.  Ummm, I'm not sure I see a problem for the flyball governing body.  They are making money, right?

The article also said the folks (i.e., giving money to the flyball governing body) are behaving in an 'unsportsmanlike' manner.  Some believe the ghost clubs are not following the rules of the game.

The Rules have been known to cause a few problems in the game of flyball.  I can't help but wonder why this is happening in some areas and not in others.  It could be no one has heard of this newly developed type of club status.  It will be interesting to see if anything changes going forward.

Oh, I almost forgot to ask the bigger question.  Who ya gonna call?

All in fun,
I Like Flyball
