Trial spaces will be determined in the following manner:
Spaces will be awarded by a random draw of all Qualified Entries during the draw period listed above.
In the event you are having technical difficulties with the entry system, please email trialentry@nacsw.net prior to the end of the draw period.
No dog will be given a space in more than one trial of the same level and type at a single event.
You may enter multiple dogs for entry in the draw. However, only one dog/handler per title level will be accepted into the trial. Entry will go to the dog selected in the draw - you may not swap to an alternate dog. If multiple dogs are selected in the draw, you may select which dog you wish to enter. Once a dog has been entered as a second dog/handler entry, you may not swap handlers after the draw to change the entry to a first dog/handler unless the trial is not full.
If a trial level is not full after the draw of Qualified Entries, then there will be a Secondary Draw of any entries received that did not meet the ORT title or title requirements. These entries will be accepted pending completion of the requirements. Note: Dogs must earn the the ORT title and prior title level at least 3 days prior to the trial date to be eligible to compete. If the required title or ORT title is earned less than 14 days prior to the event, it is the competitor’s responsibility to notify the host that the requirement has been completed.
If the trial level and wait list are not full after all entries received during the draw period have been processed, entries will continue to be accepted in the order they are received until the trial and wait list are deemed full.
For Exhibit Only dogs (FEO): Dogs running FEO are not eligible to receive titles or to earn placement ribbons. FEO results will not be included in the posted trial results.
If space remains after all qualified entries are accommodated on 9:00 AM MARCH 22, 2023, then we will offer spaces for those who wish to run a dog For Exhibition Only (FEO).
Second dog/handler FEO entries on the same day will be offered spaces after 9:00 AM, APRIL 13, 2023.
The trial host of an event has the right to refuse entry of any competitor or dog for just cause as approved by the National Trial Committee. Just cause includes lack of adherence to NACSW rules and guidelines and the policies outlined in each event premium.
Some trial entries may be given priority entry based on contributions to the organization and the trial process.
You will be notified via e-mail of the results of the random draw by 9:00 AM PST on MARCH 20, 2023 .
