Course Familiarization and Warm-Ups

Handlers in all classes are permitted to walk the course without a dog, prior to the start of the class, following the judge's briefing. The walk-through is restricted to handlers entered only in that class. A walk-through period will be held prior to each class, following the judge's briefing.
There will be NO course familiarization for Novice A and B dogs on either Saturday or Sunday.
A warm-up area consisting of a regulation jump shall be provided for all exhibitors. Exhibitors may NOT use the warm-up area to relieve their dogs.

Exhibitor Information

At the handler's option, dogs may wear flat (buckle or release) collar, but there shall be no hanging tags or attachments.
Choke collars, pinch collars, electric and dummy collars are prohibited.
Exhibitors may wear shirts or insignia of their training group if they wish.
Food and toys are not permitted in the course area and handlers are not permitted to use whistles or other instruments or devices.
Group banners may be displayed but shall be placed so the movement of the banners does not distract the dogs on course.
Obstacles meet the specifications for obstacles in current edition of Regulations for Agility Trials.
Dogs may arrive any time prior to their scheduled time of judging. Dogs not required for further judging will be excused.
Judges will not wait for any dog holding up a class. Handlers alone are responsible for the presence of their dogs in the judging ring when classes are called to be judged.
All dogs present must be held on leash or confined to their crates except when being judged, when in the exercise ring, or in the designated agility warm-up area.

Move-Ups

All Sunday move-up requests must be submitted in writing and received by the Trial Secretary within ½ hour after the close of judging. Dogs moved up will be entered at the end of the running order.

Crating

Indoor crating is available inside the WCOTC Training Center. As indoor crating area is limited, high occupancy x-pens will be permitted inside the building. Friday night set-up is available between 7 - 9 PM.

Food

A food vendor is available to provide lunch, snacks and beverages.

Ring Etiquette
So that the Gate Steward knows that you are present and intend to run, check-in with the Gate Steward at least 1/2 hour before you are scheduled to run. Do this with each class in which you are entered each day.

If you have a ring conflict, notify the Ring Steward before the class begins to run. Attendance at a briefing and/or walk-through takes precedence. Ring 1 takes precedence. If you do not show up for your run and have not previously notified the Gate Steward of a conflict, you will have missed your opportunity to run.

Ring 1 Standard Classes Judges Briefing , Walk-throughs 7:30 AM (Walk-throughs may be split at Judge's discretion) Judging 8:00 AM Classes will follow each other as stated below
