Instructions for Trial Participants

Thank you for entering Waco Agility Group's October 2009 NADAC trial! This is a full trial--especially on Saturday, but we will do everything possible to keep things moving. Please be considerate of others and help us so that we can get done at a reasonable time.

A copy of your confirmation should have been sent to you, if you did not receive it, let me know. Please, please, be sure to double check NADAC numbers and runs to be sure I have them entered correctly and that the software has not given you extra runs or changed your division or level after I entered them. I did find a few extra runs when I went through everything and double checked. I have gone through every one's entries and caught several mistakes including two incorrect numbers... so let me know as soon as possible. A new version of the software is supposed to fix some of the known bugs in November, but it has some major problems right now!

New Things

There are some new things that have been added for this trial, so please read through this message carefully.

1. Due to possible flight delays, we are starting at 5:00 on Friday and doing only 1 class of Hoopers and Touch and Go.
2. There will be specialty high in trial awards for this trial. So far these include: rescue dog, vet dog, first trial for dog and handler, border collie, sporting dogs, 4 and 8 inch dogs, 12 inch dogs, and 16 inch dogs as well as others.
3. For workers, we have lunch coupons for the concession stand (see below). Worker soft drinks and water are in the office.

Weather

The weather should be cool this weekend with highs in the low to mid 70's. There is a 30% chance of showers on Friday with skight chance on the weekend. We have had rain for the last 2 weeks so the grass outside may be tall.

Fall Two-Step

This is the first part of the Fall Two-Step competition with prizes and ribbons for the first 4 dogs and a full package available to the high in trial winner.

For those first place dogs, remember that you get a choice of a toy or $1 off coupons for our next trial.

Set Up

You Will be able to set up after 2:00. Check in starts at 3:00 on Friday and 7:00 to 7:30 Saturday and Sunday. Only proficient dogs, jumping 16" or less, without height cards will need to be measured. First dog will be on the line at 5:00 PM Friday and 8:00 AM on Saturday and Sunday. The concession stand will be available on Saturday and Sunday.

Run Order

This is a very large trial. Please get to the line as quickly as you can to minimize delays. Everyone will have a chance to walk courses and we will adjust the running order if need be. We will be running in alternate rings as follows. There will be flip charts to tell you what is happening in Ring 1 and Ring 2! Both rings will be the same size. Ring 1 will be the contact ring on the concession stand side and ring 2 will be the non-contact ring near the check-in table. We will be using separate entrances and exits for both rings this time to make things more smoothly. Be sure to check in at the entry gate. We will have extra gate sheets posted near the tables so you can see where you are in the dog order.
