Secretary immediately.
NADAC records trial results as they are submitted by the host clubs/groups. The individual trial results submitted
by the club are uploaded to the www.NADACForum.com within two weeks after the NADAC office receives them
from the club. 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 Forum by going to
www.NADACForum.com and submitting your request. If you find an error in the reporting of your dog’s qualifying
points or registration number, please contact the host club. The host club is responsible for correcting any errors
and informing NADAC.
