Please check to make sure i made any requested changes. I primarily use my MAC and use my PC for agility unscrambled..so sometimes miss changes. So please check and let me know if you

need me to make any other changes.

SETUP/START TIME:

Friday /Saturday and Sunday we will start at 8. Please do not arrive before 7:30 AM.

Thurday Hoopers: We are doing 2 rounds of Hoopers THursday evening. We will start at 4:30. Entries are $7 a run.

I still havent created the database yet for hoopers, so if you entered already, you wont get a confirmation along with this one. No worries I will have it done before THursday :)

If you havent entered, but want to come, just show up with $7 a run and i will put you in then !

We have LOTS of room in the trial. We will take day of show entries for $15 a run.

Please try to bring some friends to enter the trial. We are trying hard to get NADAC started in the area !!

WORKERS: I am going to need everyone to work as the trial is very small. I will have water and snacks for all workers :)

SITE INFO: Please stay away from the barn and sheep. They will be put away during the trial.

No food so please bring your own.

Your GPS should take you directly to the trial site.

The forecast is good for the weekend ! i think we have 6 RVers.

FOOD/TOY in POCKET !! ITZ is now a "contained' food/toy trial. What this means is that you can have food or a toy(non squeaky) in a ziplock bag and leave it in your pocket when you run.

You cannot point or touch your pocket and act like you are going to give your dog a treat. You can give your dog a treat 10 feet outside of the ring. This rule was instituted for a few reasons.

Some people sometimes leave loose food on chairs, tables etc and some dogs steal it or even want to fight over it so this rule allows people to just put the food in the baggie and then in your own

pocket. Also, some dogs (including mine) want to pull me back to their crates to get treats. This way, we can walk 10 feet outside the ring and give our dogs treats without being pulled.

What this also means is that there can be NO loose food anywhere. You must keep all your treats in a container, baggie etc. If I see loose food, i will take it and throw it out. I was a little

apprehensive about trying this, but now after doing it a few trials I really really like it...as does my shoulder !!

Just a few notes--

It is expected that you will attend the Club and Judges briefings or make sure that you are totally aware, and have a clear understanding of what was discussed at those briefings.

LEASH POLICY: Due to insurance issues, NADAC has implemented a strict leash policy. When entering the ring, you must keep your leash on until the judge says "GOOD LUCK". You then may take off your leash

and proceed to start your run. THe judge will not say "GOOD LUCK" until the dog on course is on leash. What this means is that we need you to get your leash on as quickly as possible so the next dog can start.

Please pick up after your dog.

Do not leave your dog on a sitstay or tied to anything while you are walking to course.

If you see something that needs fixing, or something you think is unsafe or anything that truly bothers you, please let me know.

I want to know if things bother exhibitors. I want to put on the best efficient trial that I can so please let me know if there are

any issues I need to be aware of. THANKS !!

Proficient dogs jumping 20" and Skilled dogs do not have to be measured.
