NOTES FROM TRIAL SECRETARY
1. Please remember to check the No Signature Required box AND sign that spot where you authorize them to deliver on any overnight package. My Post Office knows that we do not accept signature-required packages and will not even attempt to deliver them. They just mark them “Refused” and return to sender. So I never even know that you sent that package to me.
2. Remember that the Move-up Deadline for your first day of a weekend trial is ALWAYS Monday at 6 pm. Please send those move-ups in right away.
3. Please review the section about Move-ups as we have added more clarification about move-ups before and at the trials.
4. With all the paperwork we handle, mistakes are inevitable. We send out both Preliminary Confirmations and Final Confirmations. PLEASE read these and double check that all the information is correct. Having to change Gate boards, scribe sheets and computer records the day of the trial or the week of the trial is very difficult.
5. For Novice Exhibitors – please read the section on the moveup form or under Moveups about when you need to change from Novice A to Novice B and also read the section under classes to determine whether you should enter Novice A or Novice B level classes
DATA ENTRY AND CHANGES TO YOUR INFORMATION
Data entry mistakes happen. That is why we ask everyone to READ their preliminary confirmation and mailed final confirmation. For the majority of entries, dog and owner/handler information remains the same. However, if you have a:
New email address
New Titles
New Handler
New address and phone
New jump height
(including jump height changes from trial to trial. For example, dog jumps 24" at one trial, then 26" in the next trial.)
Highlighting ANY of these changes on entry forms would be especially helpful so that these changes can be updated in our database. Then, please review your confirmations carefully to ensure that your requested changes have been made
