As you may know I've spent the past week or so in California for work. I know, life is tough but somebody has to do it. Anyway, I had Saturday off and found an agility competition to visit. I really enjoyed it and have filmed a few runs on my iPad. If you're interested let me know and I can show you- I will bring the iPad to Shuttleworth. I filmed some courses which included a table, which I've only ever seen once in 5 years. See if you can guess how it's marked before I show you!
when i started agility nearly 20 years ago the table was a very common sight and in most courses along with the water jump those were the days. The Judges just used to count out loud. I guess thats why its died out, this was also way before eletronic timing. Now i really feel old. 
In europe they have a sensor on the suface of the table three beeps and you can go.
