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 moveups in right away.
3. Please review the section about Moveups as we have added more clarification about moveups 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
ABOUT EMAILED CORRESPONDENCE AND MOVEUPS
Emails sent to us regarding move-ups, cancellations, etc will be addressed on a priority basis. All correspondence will be processed within one week of receipt; however, those emails that pertain to the current trial will be processed before emails regarding trials that are scheduled for a later date.
We always send a reply email to all emailed cancellation requests when they are processed. We always send a reply email with a revised confirmation attached to all emailed moveup requests when they are processed.
If a response is NOT received before the above deadlines, please email it again and also send a backup fax request. Only call me if the emailed and faxed requests do not get a timely reply. I cannot accept moveup request verbally. All moveup requests must be emailed, faxed, or mailed. My original Fax number and phone number are always in the premium. In addition I also have a new fax number 1-888-521-1706. ISP SPAM filters can cause non-delivery of emails. Just because you sent an email to cancel or to moveup – that does not mean that I have gotten it. If you do not get a reply - then it means we never got it. Move-up deadlines are Mondays at 6:00 p.m.before the trial weekend
Cancellation and changes to class (except moveups) deadline is trial closing date and time (see premium). Please remember that Fast Times and the club are not responsible for emails that do not get delivered and therefore will not cancel an entry after the closing date and time or make a moveup after the moveup deadline due to non delivery of an email request
