TRIAL STATUS: Thank you for entering the ITZ of IL trial in Manhattan April 10 11 12 .
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.
This trial is SMALL. I have less than 200 runs a day. What that means is that we will be done early,
but we will need everyone that comes to help out with setting bars, running leashes etc.
No food or water so please bring your own. I will have snacks / bottled water for workers.
We will accept day of show entries during checkin. Day of show entries are $15 a class (no package deal).
FRIDAY: START TIME: We will start at 12:30 PM
SATURDAY & SUNDAY: Checkin 7:30 - 8. 8 General Briefing and 1st dog on the line shortly after that.
Please do not arrive before 7AM. My mom and I walk our dogs in the fields in the morning so please dont come too early.
