We will haveat least ten trials designated as the “Buckle Series”.
Your best five scores (total scores Regular, Jumpers and Gamblers/Chances) will count toward the series.
The trials will be NADAC or ASCA Trials. The “Series” will be open to all breeds. You will enter the series separate from your regular trial entry with a one-time $25.00 entry fee. A representative of the “Buckle Series” willattend to take your entry. Lorraine Cirinelli will track your points throughout the trials.
Scores will be counted from the time you enter “The Series”.
It would seem logical that you need to be entered in at least five of the trials.
At the last trial of the “Kirk Series”, we will award a beautiful
Silver Trophy Buckle
to each of the high scoring
Novice, Open, Elite and Veterandog/handler teams.
Rules:
1. Open to all breeds.

(Veteran stays in Veterans, and Standard stays in Standard).

make the exception for a handler injured during the course of the series.
5. Scores will be counted from Regular, Gamblers/Chances,and Jumpers classes only.
6. Faulted Qs have proven to be too difficult to track. Only clean runs (10 point Q’s) will be
counted.
7. Scores will be tabulated after each of your trials,and the five best scores will
be added together to be used as your final total.
8. Ties will be broken by run off.
9. You may enter more than one dog in the series.
10. At NADAC Trials your dog can be entered in Skilled.
