July 10-13 Barn Hunt Trials!
Thursday through Sunday

I have reopened the online entry through midnight tonight if you’d like to add runs for this week.

**ASK before entering if you have questions. Please remember transaction fees are not refunded if you enter incorrectly!***

Great news this morning. We have now finished testing the ability to enter your dog twice in the same trial! So that will be available immediately but READ THIS WHOLE POST FOR RESTRICTIONS!

Not all Clubs will offer this option. Clubs will be updating their Event listings and premiums soon. In general, if it's not offered, you enter 1 Regular class per Trial (except you can enter Instinct and Novice in the same trial). Clubs may offer up to 2 Trials per day.

If offered, there are only certain classes that can be entered this way. At least one must be a B class. See the listing in the rules (and copypasta here). YOU CANNOT ENTER MASTER B TWICE IN THE SAME TRIAL (just yelling because I know some of you will ask :) ). You can enter two different B classes but not twice in the same class level.

And obviously, you can't enter a Class you aren't yet eligible to enter. So you can't enter Novice B plus Senior A if you don't have a RATO yet.

Contact your Club to see if they will be offering these options. Clubs which regularly fill very quickly almost certainly will not. Clubs that don't fill may but are not required to.

Follow it back until you cross the bridge, then turn right and you can get back to the main road (turn left on the main road and the field will come up on your right).
