About Sunday Afternoons:
- Check in will be between 1:45-2:00 pm: please arrive as early as you can within that window. We will hold briefing at 2:00 and then form and run blinds accordingly for each game, starting ~2:15 pm.
- Madd Ratter will run last, after all league games are complete. Once final counts are known, we will send an email with that info as well as projected timing for the start of Madd Ratter.
- A second judge may be added to Sunday afternoons depending on # of runs.
About Attaching League Runs to Training Visits:
- With this option, you either come a bit early or stay a bit late after your class or private lesson - league runs don't cut into training time! These runs are only judged by Megan.
- This means, however, that buffer time has to be blocked out on the training schedule. I will be monitoring training bookings as they come in and will do this automatically based on your league selections on this form. The sooner you can book training slots the better, however, to ensure maximum time availability!
- Please do go ahead and book/pay for Month 1 training now. But since we're doing Month 2 a bit further out, if you would like me to block out your desired Month 2 training slots but wait to invoice your training, I'm happy to do so. Just email me with the time slots you want to book for Month 2.
To help keep league available to all who want to play, please consider the following:
- When you are able to attend on a Sunday afternoon, please do so! This helps to consolidate more teams into one time block. It's also a great experience for dogs that need acclimation to or practice in a trial-like environment, as the setup will be very similar to (but not quite as busy as) a typical trial.
- For those attaching league to training visits, if you have more than one dog playing, ideally please split their league runs across TWO visits per month. For those of you who already come to train twice a month, hopefully this will fit right into your plans!
- The option to combine league runs into just one training visit per month is really intended to increase access for those with very limited schedules and/or who are traveling from further away. For those doing this with two or more dogs, please first email me to check the training time slot you are planning to use so that I can ensure there is room for me to block sufficient buffer time.
If the training schedule starts to clog up too much, we may not be able to continue these flexible participation methods in future, so your support is critical to ensure we can maximize opportunities for everyone!
