To help resolve the confusion that has been occurred over the years with Excellent A and Excellent B classes, which are two distinctly different classes, we are renaming them to match the names of the titles that are earned from those two, different classes. The requirements to qualify are different in each of these classes as is the title earned when they complete the title requirements. In an effort to eliminate this confusion, as of January 1, 2013 the name of the Excellent A class will change to "Excellent" and the name of the Excellent B class will change to "Master". Please note, only the name is changing. The class themselves and the titles earned remain the same. The changes will be as follows: Excellent A will change to Excellent Excellent A Preferred will change to Excellent Preferred Excellent B will change to Master Excellent B Preferred will change to Master Preferred Prizes and Awards: Classes will have rosettes awarded to the 1 st through 4 th place in each jump height. Dogs must qualify to receive placement rosettes. Qualifying ribbons will be awarded to all dogs receiving qualifying scores JUDGES AND ASSIGNMENTS Laura Gillice 5275 S Flanders St, Centennial, CO Friday & Sunday All JWW Classes, Premier jww & Nov and Open FAST classes and T2B, Saturday - All Std.
