SUNDAY, 1/19: Trial to start at the originally scheduled time tomorrow, along with the addition of Grand Prix at the end of the day. Here is tomorrow’s updated timeline; it’ll also be sent out with the maps tonight.

Thanks for everyone’s patience with the weather!

‼️ UPDATE ‼️
We are cancelling the trial for Saturday. More details below. An email will follow.

Unfortunately, the timing of the heavy rain predicted for tomorrow (Saturday) has shifted considerably and now it looks like the heaviest rain will be from 11 - 3 or so. Given that, we have decided to cancel the trial for Saturday for the safety and comfort of all involved. We plan to run Grand Prix at the end of the day on Sunday (as we are aware that many are trying to get those Qs for Regionals and Cynosport). You will receive a credit for the titling classes to use at a future trial, minus the USDAA fees we will still be charged. We will issue the credit amounts sometime next week. If anyone has an issue with receiving a credit, please reach out to Julie at figmentgirl [at] me [dot] com.

We are sorry about this, but think this decision is the best for all involved. Stay safe and dry and we will see you on Sunday!

An updated timeline has been uploaded to our website reflecting the later start time tomorrow.
See everyone soon!
