Dogs are not required to have an ASCA registration, LEP or tracking number to enter this trial. Handlers do not need to be ASCA members. However, as of January 1, 2003, ASCA requires registration of all non-asca registered dogs in order to track and record these dogs for ASCA titles. If you wish to continue to have your qualifying scores recorded and receive ASCA titling certificates, you must register your dog and become a service member of ASCA at the time of registration. Forms will be available at the trial, as well as included in this premium and on the ASCA website, www.asca.org. The management will not be responsible for the loss or damage to any dog exhibited, or for the possessions of any exhibitor whether the result was by accident or any other cause. It is distinctly understood that every dog at this event is in the care and custody and control of it s owner or handler during the entire time the dog is on the show premises. Any exhibitor whose dogs and/or children create unnecessary disturbances or repeatedly engage in unsafe or disruptive behavior may, at the discretion of the show committee be asked to leave the site. In such case, no entry fees will be refunded. No entry shall be accepted for 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. A list of such dogs will be supplied by the business office along with the sanctioning paperwork. Dogs must be on leash when not competing in the ring. Please clean up after yourself and your dog. No entry will be refunded if the trial cannot open or be completed by reason of riot, civil disobedience, fire, public emergency, act of God or act of a public enemy or any other cause beyond the control of the organizing committee. There will be no refunds for entries withdrawn after the closing date, or in the event a dog and/or handler are dismissed from competition, regardless for the reason for the dismissal. Refunds will be issued for bitches that come in season, if notification in writing or by email is received before the trial begins. Refund of entry fees after the closing date for ill/injured dogs will be given less a $10.00 administrative fee; with verification from vet on request. Returned checks do not constitute a valid entry. There will be a $30.00 service charge for returned checks. No leads, collars, food, toys, other aids or devices will be permitted on the course, no food or toys within 10 feet of the rings at any time. Any dog which demonstrates aggression towards any person or any dog, whether inside or outside the ring, must be excused from the trial. Any dog which the judge feels is not in enough control to perform all obstacles in a safe manner will be excused from the trial. About ASCA agility ASCA courses are fun, flowing and fast! There are no run outs or refusals called, however course times are a bit faster. An off course is not allowed at any level. You must have 20 pts (2 clean legs) for gamblers and jumpers titles. Regular requires 30 points, however in regular only a 5 pt Q can be earned if the dog is either 5 seconds or less over time or has one knocked bar. Dog s run naked (no collar) in ASCA, jumpers has no weave poles and the gamble is a typical gamble with an opening period to accumulate points then the distance portion of the class. For Exhibition Only (FEO) entries are allowed, however no qualifying legs are awarded. Dogs do not have to have an ASCA number or tracking number to enter, however legs and titles will not be recorded or awarded without one or the other. Tracking number application included in this premium and may be applied for at time of entry. Training in the ring is allowed up to Standard Course time, however no food or toys can be used (i.e. contacts can be repeated, start line stays worked on etc). You may enter at a higher level, however upper level Q s will first satisfy the lower level titles. ACE division is similar to AKC Preferred and USDAA Performance, dogs of any age can jump one height lower, ACE senior allows dog 10 and over to jump two heights lower than their Standard jump height. All exhibitors are responsible for picking up after themselves and their dogs!

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, for three, the cost would be $40, etc. Revised 2/27/08
