Exhibitors through submission of their entry acknowledge that they are knowledgeable of ASCA rules and regulations, including the following rules regarding entry. All healthy, trained dogs over eighteen (18) months of age are eligible to compete in ASCA agility trials. The handlers should always conduct themselves in a sportsmanlike fashion.

Safety shall always be the foremost consideration in actions and conduct by handlers at all times. No entry shall be accepted from a dog or handler disqualified from the ASCA agility program; a dog or handler disqualified from all ASCA programs; or a member not in good standing with ASCA.

No, you do not need a tracking number in order to compete in Agility or Stock. You will need a tracking number to enter an Obedience trial or Tracking Test. Your dog does not have to be a purebred to receive a tracking number from ASCA. Why would I need or want a tracking number for my dog? If you would like to have your dog s points and titles recorded by ASCA, and if you d like to receive title certificates in the mail for your accomplishments, you might want to obtain a tracking number. How much is the total cost for a tracking number? In order to obtain a tracking number for your dog, you must be at least a Service member. The cost for Service Membership is $10. Your membership is good for one year; however, it does not need to be maintained in subsequent years, unless you want to obtain another tracking number for another dog after your membership has expired. This membership fee is in addition to the tracking fee of $10 per dog. A tracking number is good for the lifetime of the dog. If you only have one dog, the total cost would be $20. For two dogs, the cost would be $30, etc. If you have a NADAC point history with dates between , please attach.
