3 NON-JUMPING CLASSES VETERAN OR DISABLED HANDLER Handlers who are 60 years or older, or who have a disability that restricts mobility, may choose to enter the non-jumping classes as a Veteran Handler and receive 10% more standard course time. This option is for Veteran/Disabled handlers in the non-jumping classes only. The Veteran/Disabled Handler division is designed for handlers who, due to age or impairment, are mobility limited and need extra time to guide their canine partners through an agility course. When entering as a Veteran/Disabled Handler, you must enter all dogs in all classes for the entire trial in this Division and must jump 4 lower than your Proficient, Standard Division jump height requires. In the non-jumping classes, dogs will be scored and placed with their Standard Division jump height. Each class is split into two categories, Proficient and Skilled. In the Skilled Category, dogs must jump 4 lower than indicated by the current jump height table. (No dog may jump less than 4 ). Dogs entered in the Veterans and Junior Handler Divisions must jump their valid vet or JH jump height. IMPORTANT. Please check your dog's NADAC registration number on your trial confirmation as soon as you receive it; also, please check the copy of the results posted at the trial. You should report any errors to the Trial Secretary immediately. NADAC records trial results as they are submitted by the host clubs/groups. The individual trial results submitted by the club are uploaded to the within two weeks after the NADAC office receives them from the club. Please accept the responsibility to review those results, and check that your registration number and qualifying points, as reported by the club, are correct. You can join the Forum by going to and submitting your request. If you find an error in the reporting of your dog s qualifying points or registration number, please contact the host club. The host club is responsible for correcting any errors and informing NADAC. Levels. Points earned at a higher level of a class, prior to the completion of the lower level title, will not be recorded by NADAC for future use. If a dog earns points in a level of a class that they are not eligible to title in, those points will not be added to the dog's records. Measuring All dogs entered in Novice, Open or Elite jumping 4, 8, 12 or 16 are required to be measured (except Veteran or JH dogs jumping 16 ). Dogs jumping 20 and 20+ are not required to be measured, nor are Veteran or JH dogs that jump 16, nor are Skilled category dogs at any jump height. An exhibitor may request to have their dog measured to determine if the dog should be entered in 20 or 20+, but no height card will be issued for any dog jumping 20 or 20+. Dogs with permanent height cards need not be measured. Skilled and Proficient Categories will be combined for placement ribbons. There are no placement ribbons in Chances as it is a pass/fail class. Daily move-ups will be accepted Friday for Saturday and Saturday for Sunday. AWARDS: Placements ribbons will be awarded to at least fourth place in each jump height for each class, in each category, except Chances which is a pass/fail class.
