CERTIFICATION An original statement dated within 12 months of this test must be included with the AKC entry form and fee for all dogs that have not passed an AKC TD test. Dogs entering the TDX test must have earned their TD title. A dog with a TD or TDX title may compete in either test. DRAWING OF ENTRIES Entries in the TD/TDX Tests will be accepted until the official closing date and time, even though the advertised limit has been reached. In accordance with Chapter 1, Section 17 of the Tracking Regulations, a drawing will be held to determine which entries will participate in the Tests. The drawing will be completely random among all entries received, except that preference will be given to those entries which have not previously earned the specific Tracking title. Entries will be drawn by the Test Secretary at 7:00PM Monday, October 29, 2018, at Ragazzi s Pizza, 15475 Ruggles St., Omaha, NE 68116. The Test Secretary will promptly notify all entrants and alternates. If the limit for entries is not reached in one test and is exceeded in the other, the number of tracks will be exchanged up to a maximum of 12 TD or 6 TDX tracks total on a 1TDX/2 TD basis. TEST WORKER OPTION Per Chapter 1, Section 17d of the Regulations, 1 TD and 1 TDX track will be set aside for test workers. In the event that no TD entries are received then two (2) TDX tracks will be set aside for test workers. Anyone who assisted at our 2017 Tracking Test will be eligible. If necessary, a random drawing may be held to determine which test workers are chosen. Once the tracks set aside for workers are filled, any remaining test worker entries will be added to the non-worker entries for the draw of the remaining tracks. There will be no separate alternate list for test workers only. A test worker may not benefit from a track set aside at a test in which they are working. The test Secretary must be notified in writing and/or by checking the box located on the upper left corner of the NKC Entry Form as to which track they would like to use for this option. ALTERNATE ENTRIES When the limit of 2 TD and 5 TDX entries has been drawn, all remaining entries, subject to the same preference set forth above, shall be assigned a position on the alternate list corresponding to the order in which they were drawn. Entry fees will be refunded to alternates who decline to be placed on the Alternate list. Entry fees will also be refunded to alternates who do not participate in the test.
If a dog that is entered in the test, but does not run at the test and there is not an alternate to take that dogs place, the entry fee will not be refunded. Their certification will be returned to entrant per AKC. BITCHES IN SEASON MAY PARTICIPATE. You must notify the test secretary of any bitch in season prior to the track draw on the day of the test.
