Frequently Asked Questions

Please note that the answers provided here are for quick reference only. The exact and binding information on the election process and voting can be found only in the Rules.

Candidates and election

Who can apply?

A person can enter the Czech Puppy competition if:

• is over 18 years of age abd is fluent in Czech or Slovak
• feels he/she is a Czech dog, bitch, puppy or other canine
• is not a holder of any other gay/fetish/puppy/kinky title
• has not participated in the jury selection for the election

So it doesn't matter more or less about age, race, gender or nationality. It is enough to be an adult, to feel part of the Czech pupplay scene, know how to get along with it and have no conflicting obligations.

How can I apply?

Registration for the election can be submitted by email to czechpuppyteam@gmail.com from September 1 to September 30.

Be sure to include everything that is required for your application to be accepted.

Co musí přihláška obsahovat?

The application must contain:

• your name (or its pronunciation if it is not intuitive)
• age and city of residence
• the pronouns she uses for her gender identity
• photograph in dog equipment
• email and phone contact
• Telegram and WhatsApp contacts if he has them and is willing to use them during the preparations
• username on Instagram and Twitter, if he has them and wants to associate them with his dog identity
• a brief motivational text as to why you want to become a title holder

So the last change is that the application form no longer needs to contain a human name, but we would like to hear from you social media contacts if you have them and want to use them. And don't worry, phone and email contact we won't tell anyone, those are for organizational purposes only.

What disciplines will there be?

Disciplines that can be used to show the Czech Puppy's soul are:

• Jury Interview
• Cross Country
• Free Act Discipline
• Questions from the moderator

Who decides on the new holder?

The new title holder is decided jointly by a vote of the audience on election night and a jury vote. One vote by anyone present at the election night, with the exception of the jury, which has its own method. The jury, consisting of the current Czech holder and the foreign holders invited by him, decides by a more complex scoring system based on various criteria. This is described in more detail in the Rules.

The tallying of the votes is then overseen by a foreign Tally Master or the jury chairman.

Members of the organising team are therefore only able to influence the voting and the outcome to the extent that any spectator - with one spectator vote.

Does Czech Puppy have to go to the European round?

No. Of course, we would like our holder to represent the Czech community abroad. Duties of the holder can be very demanding. Therefore, we do not force a Czech holder to run for European Puppy just a few months after being elected Czech. The new Czech Puppy can then devote a whole year undisturbed to the Czech community, gathering experience, acquaintances, and gaining insight into what's going on.

This experience can then be a great advantage in the next election of a European Puppy. But as said, the duties of the holder can be demanding, and we don't blame the holder if, after the title has been handed over decides not to stand in the European round.

But if we go back to the word "go" rather than run, then the holder, the runnerup and everyone petplayer is encouraged to go to the Darklands at least once and watch the European round. It is an unforgettable experience.

Weekend events

How can I buy tickets for events?

Tickets can be purchased at SMS Ticket, where you can search for the term Czech Puppy. You can also find a full list of tickets on the homepage of this website. U each paid event you will find a link to the relevant tickets that will allow you to enter the event.

Do I need to fill out a registration form?

Filling out the form is completely voluntary, but it helps us a lot to navigate the visitor numbers, especially for non-paid events. Additionally, you can use it to reserve the merch you are interested in.

Do I have to buy tickets when I fill out the form?

Yes. The form is for informational purposes only and does not guarantee you entry to paid events.

Will tickets be available at the event as well?

Some events, such as the Friday Experience event, are organised for a set number and therefore you will need to purchase tickets in advance. This is no longer possible on site. Other pay-as-you-go options include on-site sales. This sales may not be possible if all tickets are already sold in advance and the club fills to capacity. In addition, on-site tickets are usually considerably more expensive. We therefore strongly recommend that you take advantage of the ticket purchase in advance.

Is the ticket price final or are there any fees?

Yes, the SMS Ticket server charges an extra 10 CZK as a fee for using their service. The server also offers in addition to sending the ticket to an email, also sending the ticket code via SMS, which can be useful, but costs an additional 6 CZK. Even so, this is still better than buying on the spot, as tickets are more expensive there. and more importantly, they may no longer be available.

Merch - promotional items

Do I need to buy merch reserved in the form?

No, it is not mandatory. However, we believe the merch on offer is friendly, the design beautiful and the quality great, so you won't regret booking and buying. The return on purchase, which we try to keep to a minimum, will also definitely does not go into the organizers' pockets, but is invested in the next year's event (perhaps an experiential event or a new merch). and the title holder to represent our community.

Is it possible to buy merch without booking in advance on the form?

We make more expensive pieces of merch, like t-shirts, on a strictly demand-driven basis, so buying them would only be possible in if someone doesn't pick it up. However, some types of merch, like jars, are bought in sets, and a few extra pieces may be available for purchase. We sometimes decide to buy cheaper merch, like socks. invest in order to offer a lower price and produce more pieces that are then available for purchase.

But as you can see from the previous description, without registering you cannot be sure that the merch you want will be available in multiple quantities. You can ask and you may be lucky, but you will be sure only by reserving pieces on the form.

How can I pay for merch?

It is possible to pay in cash, but please Czech korunas. You can also transfer the payment via Revolut.

For people with Czech bank account, an QR code will be available for immediate payment to our account, but we cannot offer the option for foreign bank accounts.

We would so like to allow card payments as previous years, but we are still exploring the possibilities. We will add more information later
