Each competitor has the opportunity to participate each day in one or more disciplines. There are currntly 4 disciplines Canicross (the main activity the league supports), CaniTrek (competitive dog walking/hiking/trekking), Bikejor/Scooter, and CaniSwim. Competing is entirely at the option of the participant, who can compete as much or as little as they want during the year. The rule is that each day there can be only one submission per discipline. So for example a competitor could in theory Run, Hike, Bike & Swim and have 4 reckonable results to be considered in different respective leagues. Of course a participnat can't make 2 submissions for the same discipline in the same day as this would give them an unfair advantage.

Submissions are made by applying a simple tag to your activity description in one of the league's Strava clubs. The rest is done automatically by the league's results aggregator 'Synaptic'. It downloads competitors activity data and calculates points an classifies the result in one or multiple tables. For canicross there is the added bonus that 2 types of points are calculated League points (which are performance based) and are used in the League tables. There are also race points which are used (to calculate race position in monthly and annual virtual races). Race points are a composite make up of performance, altitude gain and distance coverage, where as league points are more about performance. Both league and race points have a high degree of calculation based on World Masters Athletics age grading system, which essentially levels the playing field between competitors of different ages and genders. There is a final element from a canine perspective, which is a canine correction coefficient to account for the effect of running with a maximum of 2 dogs. The coefficient has and continues to evolve based on the massive amount of canicross run data that it accumulates to refine its algorithm.

The league runs the year in 3 segments. If a participant resides in the northern hemisphere then the first half of the league season (Jan - Apr) occurs. Then summer break or 'Off-Season' (May - Aug) happens, then the rest of the league season transpires culminating in completion of the season in December. Conversely, competitors who live in the southern hemisphere have a 6 month difference in their competition cycle due to climatic differences. So for southern hemisphere competitors the send half of the Off-Season (Jan - Feb) occurs. Then the Full League Season' (Mar - Oct) happens, then the residual remaining off-season transpires culminating in completion of the season in December. By the time the end of the year arrives both hemispheres will have completed a full year of competition within the appropriate and applicable climatic conditions.
