Thanks for entering the ITZ trial in Plainfield IL on March 14 & 15th. Please note that due to the number of last minute entries, I have changed the setup time on Saturday to 7:30.
Please check over your confirmation carefully. NO CHANGES WILL ME MADE AT THE TRIAL. In addition to checking your classes, levels and jump height and all other information,
Please check your dog’s NADAC registration number. NADAC uses your dogs registration number to track points, so it is imperative that the correct number is listed on your confirmation,
the results posted at the trial and the results
sent to you after the trial. You should report any errors to the Trial Secretary immediately.
I will make changes until Wednesday. After that, no changes will be made.
NADAC no longer hand checks for discrepancies in the records we send them at the end of the trial.
Instead, they post the trial results to the files section of the NADACAgility@yahoogroups.com list within two weeks after receiving them from us.
The trial results will remain on the list for at least thirty (30) days.
Please accept the responsibility to review those results, and check that your registration number and qualifying points,
as reported by the club, are correct. You can join the NADAC Agility list and set your settings to “no mail”.
You’ll be able to view trial results and find discrepancies (if any) without receiving list mail.
Contact NADAC only if your registration number or qualifying results are shown incorrectly on the list. Otherwise, you do not need to do anything.
We have around 300 runs a day. We will take Day of Show Entries for $15 a class.
