NOTICE TO EXHIBITORS
· The safety of the dogs is our primary concern. By entering this trial, exhibitors acknowledge that they are familiar with the rules and regulations of this sport, and that their dogs are familiar with and able to perform all obstacles safely.
· Entry fees will not be refunded in the event that a dog is absent, disqualified, excused, or barred from competition by action of the Trial Committee or Judge.
· It is expressly understood that exhibitors alone are responsible for the behavior of their dog(s) and / or children. Any exhibitor whose dog(s) and / or children create unnecessary disturbances or repeatedly engage in unsafe or disruptive behavior may, at the discretion of the show committee, be asked to leave the show site. In that case, no refund of any fees paid will be made.
· 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.
· Exhibitors are responsible for complete, accurate and legible information on entry forms; illegible, incomplete, or unsigned entries cannot be entered in the show.
· Electronic training/collar devices are not allowed on the grounds at a CPE show. This includes electronic training devices, shock collars, and bark collars that shock a dog.
· A warm-up area consisting of a regulation jump and/or weave poles will be provided for all entered dogs. Practicing or training on personal equipment is not permitted on show grounds at any time. Club equipment is not to be used for practice or training purposes during a trial. Only designated jump and/or weaves as provided by the host club shall be used for warm up.

Additional Notices

· All dogs must be on leash and under control at all times except when using the warm up area or in the agility ring. There is an enforced leash law in Montgomery County. A dog dragging its leash does not constitute “on leash” or under control.

An agent of the Trial Secretary is any person willing to deliver the entry(ies) to the Trial Secretary.
· Plan to attend the general briefing each day, since all exhibitors and their associates will be responsible for following the instructions given at that time. Failure to attend the briefing does not absolve one from conforming to club rules.
· No refund of entries withdrawn after the final closing date except as specifically stated below. All withdrawals must be in writing sent via USPS mail or via email. A return reply to emails will be sent.
· After the trial closing date, any exhibitor who has entered a bitch (female) who comes into season, or a dog that becomes injured or seriously ill, will be refunded the entry fee for that dog less a $3 per class entered fee, upon written certification by a veterinarian. Notification of the problem should be made by e-mail, mail, or phone, to the Trial Secretary prior to the closing day of the trial.
