Entries will not be accepted for dogs using “pending” in lieu of a number. Dogs can be registered on-line at www.nadac.com. </p><p>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.</p><p>There shall be no refunds, cancellations, or changes for entries after the closing date, unless a veterinarian certificate verifies a bitch is in season.</p><p>Please take responsibility for your dogs and children. The Calgary Canine Centre Ltd will not be responsible for the loss or damage of any dog exhibited, or for the possessions of any exhibitor whether the result was by accident or any other cause. Any exhibitor whose dogs or children create unnecessary disturbances or engage in unsafe or disruptive behavior may be asked by the Trial Committee to leave the trial site. There will be no refunds for entries if a dog or handler is dismissed from a competition for any reason. Anyone not in good standing with NADAC will not be allowed entry. The Trial Committee reserves the right to refuse any entry.</p><p>This event will be held outdoors on grass. Dogs must be kept under control always and must be on a leash unless competing. Dogs that are not Canadian Kennel Club registered are not allowed in the obedience area or the area where the conformation rings are located. Bring your own shade, chairs, pens or crates and water. </p><p>Class Changes</p><p>If you complete a title on Saturday, you may move up to the next level on Sunday. There will be NO same day move ups. Class move up forms will be available at the Table. You are not required to move up to the next level until you wish to.</p><p>Check In and Measuring</p><p>Only dogs entering the Small and Medium dog classes are required to be measured at the trial prior to competing unless they have a NADAC permanent height card or are competing in skilled. Please bring height cards with you. Check in and measuring dogs will be Saturday and Sunday from 7:00 AM to 7:30 AM. Judges briefing will be at 7:30 AM each day and first dog on the line at 8:00 AM.</p><p>Proficient/Skilled Categories:</p><p>Each class will be split into two categories, Proficient and Skilled. In the Skilled Category, dogs MUST jump 4” lower than indicated by the current jump height table. (No dog may jump less than 4”). In the Regular Agility class, dogs entered in the Skilled Category may incur 5 or fewer faults, and earn a 5 pt. qualifying round. In the Proficient Category a qualifying round must be clean and will earn 10 pts. There is no 5 pt. qualifying round in this category.</p><p>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 non-jumping 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.</p><p>Containerized Trials: Clubs have the option to offer Containerized Trials. Exhibitors at any time can enter the ring with a closed/sealed container (a zip log bag works well) in the pocket of their pants. The container must not be visible to the dog or anyone else and may not be opened within ten feet of the ring boundary. The difference between a containerized trial and a non- containerized trial is that when a club hosts a containerized trial, no one may leave treats or toys around loose, either ringside or at their set up.</p><p>Directions to Trial Site</p><p>(Downtown Calgary) via Macleod Trail: South on Macleod Trail, then turn west on Spruce Meadows Trail (also known as Hwy 22X / Marquis of Lorne Trail) and travel approximately 2km.
