IMPORTANT. Please check your dog's NADAC registration number on your trial confirmation as
soon as you receive it; also, please check the copy of the results posted at the trial. You should
report any errors to the Trial 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.
Levels. Points earned at a higher level of a class, prior to the completion of the lower level title,
will not be recorded by NADAC for future use. If a dog earns points in a level of a class that
they are not eligible to title in, those points will not be added to the dog's records.
TRIAL INFORMATION
ENTRY FORMS: Our Word entry form allows you to type in your information. Please use this option as it makes it so
much easier to read entry information. Please make sure your e-mail address is legible as we send out confirmations,
show instructions and results to you via e-mail. The software requires both your dogs’ height at the withers and the
jump height in which your dog is entered.
NON-JUMPING CLASSES – VETERAN OR DISABLED HANDLER
Handlers who are 60 years or older, or who have a disability that restricts mobility, may choose to enter the nonjumping classes as a Veteran Handler and receive 10% more standard course time. This option is for Veteran/Disabled
handlers in the non-jumping classes only.
The Veteran/Disabled Handler division is designed for handlers who, due to age or impairment, are mobility limited
and need extra time to guide their canine partners through an agility course.
When entering as a Veteran/Disabled Handler, you must enter all dogs in all classes for the entire trial in this Division
and must jump 4” lower than your Proficient, Standard Division jump height requires. In the non-jumping classes,
dogs will be scored and placed with their Standard Division jump height
ENTRY FEES PER HOUSEHOLD: 1-9 runs $11/run, 10-13 runs $10/run, 14 or more runs $9/run per household,
JH $6.00 a run. All entries are accepted on a first-come first-served basis.
DAY OF TRIAL ENTRIES: We will accept day of trial entries if the trial does not fill. The day of trial entry fees will be
$15.00 per class with no packages. Day of trial entries will be accepted up to 12midday. It is recommended you
check with the trial secretary a week before the trial to make sure the trial is not already full.
ENTRY CLOSING INFORMATION: Trial entry CLOSES at 6:00 PM, Wednesday, May 20, 2015, or when the entry
limit of 400 runs (350 jumping runs) per day is reached (Saturday and Sunday). Apart from day of trial entries no
entries will be accepted after the closing date.
CONFIRMATIONS: a preliminary confirmation will be sent within a week of receipt of your premium and a final
confirmation will be sent once the trial has closed. Please read over your confirmations carefully. We all make errors
and we will certainly make corrections as long as we are notified prior to the final move up date after which the scribe
sheets and running orders are printed. If you do not receive a confirmation within a week of sending in your entry or
a week after the closing date (May 20th, 2015) please e-mail the trial secretary and let her know.
ENTRY CHANGES: Entries may not be changed, altered, or withdrawn after the closing date except for a dog
receiving a title after the closing date may be moved up to the next higher level by notifying the secretary on or
before Monday, May 25th, 2015 at 8:00 PM.
Please email move-up requests to Andrea Lengi at
[email protected]. Please include your dog’s name, NADAC #, current classes entered and the
requested change.
REFUNDS: Refunds are allowed if requested before the closing date. There will be no refunds for entries withdrawn
after the closing date for any reason other than bitches in heat (upon presentation of a veterinarian’s statement).
There will be no refunds in the event that a dog and/or a handler are dismissed from competition regardless of reason
for such dismissal. No entry fee will be refunded if the trial cannot open or be completed by reason of riots, civil
disturbances, fire, an act of God, public emergency, act of a public enemy, or any other cause beyond the control of
the organizing committee.
The trial committee will leave a message on the club’s web site
www.allamericandogsports.com that exhibitors can check up to the day of the trial in the event the trial is canceled for
any of the above reasons. A $10.00 fee will be charged per dog/per day for ANY refund. The organizing committee
may refuse any entry as provided through NADAC rules and regulations. Anyone not in good standing with NADAC
will not be allowed entry in the trial.
The management will not be responsible for the loss or damage to any dog exhibited, or for the possessions of any
exhibitor whether the result was by accident or any other cause. It is distinctly understood that every dog at this
event is in the care and custody and control of his owner or handler during the entire time the dog is on the show
premises. Any exhibitor whose dogs and/or children create unnecessary disturbances or repeatedly engage in unsafe
or disruptive behavior may, at the discretion of the Trial Committee, be asked to leave the show site. In such case,
no refund of fees paid will be made.
The safety of the dogs is our primary concern. Exhibitors, through submission of entry, acknowledge that they
are knowledgeable of NADAC rules and regulations, and agree to abide by all rules in effect at the time of
this trial, and that their dogs are familiar with and able to perform the obstacles safely.
This trial is open to all healthy, trained dogs over 18 months of age, including purebred and mixed breed dogs.
Bitches in heat, lame or blind dogs are ineligible for entry, as is any dog with a deformity that may cause a judge to
not be able to reasonably assess the dog’s ability to function and perform agility obstacles safely, and in a manner
that is in the best interest, health and welfare of the dog. Any dog that demonstrates aggression towards any
person or any dog, whether inside the ring or outside the ring, must be excused from the agility trial. Any
dog that the judge feels is not in enough control to perform all obstacles in a safe manner will be excused from the
agility trial. Entry fees will not be refunded in the event that a dog is absent, disqualified, excused, or barred from
completion by action of the Judge or Trial Committee.
