the Trial Secretary, in writing, no later than 6:00 PM, Monday, July 6, 2020.

DAY TO DAY MOVE-UPS will be accepted for Saturday and Sunday until immediately

Fill out one form for each dog and mail, e-mail, or hand deliver to the TRIAL SECRETARY

– NO ONE ELSE IS AUTHORIZED TO ACCEPT MOVE-UPS.

Note: Changes from Regular to Preferred or vice versa, and changes in jump height after

closing do not constitute a valid move up and are not permitted after closing. A dog may

change jump height after closing only as the result of being measured into a higher height

division at these trials, or receiving a height card measurement for the higher height after the

closing date. A Novice A dog earning an agility title after the closing date is still eligible to

run in Novice A for these trials. The move-up form may be used for Novice A to Novice B

changes before closing only.

NOTICE TO EXHIBITORS: The safety of the dog is our primary concern. By entering this

trial, exhibitors acknowledge that they are familiar with the rules and regulations of this sport

and of AKC and that their dogs are familiar with and are able to perform all obstacles safely.

Exhibitors should follow their veterinarian’s recommendation to assure their dogs are free of

internal and external parasites, any communicable diseases, and have appropriate vaccinations.

Proof of current vaccinations, including rabies, must be available at the trial if requested.

All dogs must be held on leash or crated at all times except when in the ring or in the designated

agility warm up area. Dogs must be exercised in marked areas only. Anyone not cleaning

up after their dogs or exercising their dogs in prohibited areas will be asked to leave. In

such case, no refund of any fees paid will be made.

Dogs are not required to be at the trial until the scheduled time of judging. Exhibitors are

responsible for being at ringside when it is their turn to run. Judges need not wait for dogs who

are holding up the class.

It is expressly understood that exhibitors alone are responsible for the behavior of their dogs

and/or children. Any exhibitor whose dogs and/or children create unnecessary disturbances or

engage in unsafe or disruptive behavior may, at the discretion of the Trial Committee, be asked

to leave the trial site. No smoking or vaping allowed in the building or within 15 feet of any

entrance, exit, window that opens or ventilation intakes. No drugs, alcohol or guns allowed on

the premises. In such case, no refund of any fees paid will be made.

The Trial Giving Club assumes NO responsibility for any loss, damage, or injury sustained by

exhibitors, handlers, or any of their dogs or property and further assumes no responsibility for

injury to children. Owners/handlers enter at their own risk and agree to assume responsibility

for any damage caused by them, their dogs, or their children.

The club reserves the right to remove any animal in distress from a parked vehicle or crate, and

all persons attending this agility trial hereby waive any claim for damages against the club for

such removal.

Entry fees will not be refunded in the event that a dog is absent, disqualified, excused, or barred

from the competition by action of the Trial Committee. 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.

WAIT LIST: The club is offering a wait list to fill openings created by withdrawn entries after

the trial’s closing date/time. A maximum of 50 entries will be placed on the club’s wait list. All

entries, including wait listed entries, must be received by the Trial Secretary prior to closing at

6:00 p.m., June 26, 2020. Any entries withdrawn that are received by 6:00 p.m. on Sunday, July

5, 2020 will be replaced by a wait list entry if any are available. If a withdrawn entry is replaced

by a wait listed entry, a full refund will be issued for the withdrawn entry. Any wait listed entry

that does not move off the wait list into the trial by 6:00 p.m. on July 5, 2020 will not be charged.

VENDORS: If you wish to be a vendor at these trials, you must contact the vendor coordinator,

e-mail Pam Kristoff at [email protected] (preferred) or call (847) 494-1661 to register as a

vendor. There is a vendor fee of $50.

CRATING: Bring something to put under your crates to protect the floor. No ex-pens allowed

unless they will be used to hold at least two big or three small dogs.

HEIGHT DIVISIONS

Owners are responsible for entering the proper height division as shown in the table

below. Handlers may opt to run in a higher height division for regular classes ONLY, but

not in a division lower than their proper height division. Dogs entered in Preferred MUST

run in their correct height division; they may not run at a higher or lower height. Dogs that

run in a regular height division lower than their proper division or in a preferred height

division at other than their proper division will be eliminated. In no case may a dog be

moved down in height after closing, whether due to an exhibitor entry error or due to

a judge’s measurement. Preferred dogs incorrectly entered in a higher height division will

not be permitted to run and no entry fee will be refunded. The secretary is not responsible

for ensuring that a dog is entered in the proper height division. Any and all errors in height

division entered are solely the responsibility of the exhibitor.

Fix and Go On (FNG)

As of January 1, 2020, Fix and Go On will be offered on a one-year pilot basis in

order to give AKC time to evaluate its impact. FNG allows exhibitors to immediately

reattempt an obstacle at any time while on course when the dog’s performance of an

obstacle is not to their expectation. This allows the dog to successfully complete the

obstacle then finish the course or leave the ring on a positive note. Using FNG will

result in a non-qualifying score.

Fix and Go On is not pre-entered; rather, it occurs during the course of the run

Entering a Mixture of Regular and Preferred Classes Within the Same Trial

Weekend – Multiple Jump Heights Within the Same Trial Day

Effective January 1, 2020, exhibitors may enter a mixture of both Regular and

Preferred classes on the same trial day and/or during a trial weekend. For example,

the same dog may now be entered in Regular FAST and/or T2B to finish up those

titles while also entered in Preferred Master STD/JWW to start working towards their

PACH at the lower height. Any mixture of Regular and Preferred classes is allowed.

Please note that if a dog qualifies in Regular Master Standard and Preferred Master

JWW (or vice versa) on the same trial day, then NO Double Q shall be earned toward

either the MACH or PACH title. The Double Q still requires that Standard Agility

and Jumpers With Weaves be either both Regular OR both Preferred on the same trial

day.

Additionally, within the same Regular or Preferred classes, a dog may now be entered

in multiple jump heights within the same trial day. For example, the same dog may

now be entered in 20-inch Master STD/JWW while also entered in 24C-inch Premier

STD/JWW on the same trial day.

A separate entry form must be submitted when the same dog is being entered in a

mixture of Regular and Preferred and/or different jump heights within the same trial

weekend thereby clearly indicating which class(es) and/or jump heights belong

together for each trial day of the weekend.
