Hello, everyone!
This is your final confirmation for the TDAA trial to be held
at Sugar Bush Farm in
The site will be open for setup starting at 8:00 a.m. on both days.
There will be no setup or check-in on Friday, April 13th.
There is some crating space in the building; however, to maximize
availability if it is cold outside, please stack crates as much as possible and
no x-pens, please. Remember that the
building will be heated, if needed.
Measuring and check-in will be from 8:15 to 8:45 a.m. on Saturday
and Sunday.
Please note: Per TDAA
policy, if you did not include a copy of your dog’s permanent TDAA jump height
card with your entry, you must present the card or a copy of it at check-in or
the dog must be measured prior to running at this trial.
Please
check your entry confirmation to determine if you must present the card or have
the dog measured.
There will be a general briefing followed by obstacle
familiarization immediately following check-in each day.
The judge’s briefing for the first class will take place immediately
after this.
Volunteers:
Thank you to all who volunteered to work!
Because TDAA trials are small, we need you all to help out.
We can’t do these trials without your help and, as thanks, we’ll have
free snacks and lunch for everyone, courtesy of my Mom, Marge Stall.
We will have copies of the worker schedule available at the show.
There will be no food vendor or photographer at this event.
Day of Show Entries: Don't forget, we're offering day of show entries at $14 a run, so
if you have another dog you'd like to run or if you have a friend with a dog
that wants to come join the fun, bring them along!
Add-on Class: In addition, if time permits, we will be offering an additional
class at the end of the day on both Saturday and Sunday that will only cost
$6 a run!
We’ll announce sign ups for this additional class sometime during the day
each day.
Don’t forget FEO runs! TDAA allows FEO
entries for teams to re-run classes at the team’s competitive level or to run
classes at a lower or higher level, but only after their competition run.
Didn’t like the way you handled that front cross in Standard?
See the trial secretary for an FEO run at the end of the class.
Figured out a new strategy for that point accumulation game that might
earn more points? See the trial
secretary. Think your Beginner dog
