2024 Run Jump Splash Summer Fling

• We will have at least one specialty event (AR or HD) each day!
• Friday begins later in the day with a few Splashes and then HydroDash at 6:00 pm. Get off work and head on over!
• Saturday begins at 9am. AR split between Noon and 5pm. We'll run as many dogs as we can between 12 - 1pm, and remaining entries at 5pm. First come, first served.
• Sunday begins at 9am. HD at Noon, Fun Finals immediately following the last Splash (approximately 4:30pm)! 

     Look for the Fun Final awards to be bigger and better this year! 

 Registration, Check-In and Payment

• Pre-registration is recommended, but we will accept Day-Of entries provided there are spots available. All spots are on a first come basis, as this is the fairest for everyone.
• You can Pre-pay per NADD guidelines, but it is not required. We will accept PayPal, credit card, cash or check at check-in.
• Per NADD rules, all cancellations must be done no less than 14 days before the event starts. ALL preregistered splashes must be paid for at check in. If changes need to be made, we can move splashes around to a different day, but they cannot be removed once registration closes. A competitor can choose to pay for all the splashes they entered and scratch to avoid a no-show.
• Check-in starts 1 hour before the first splash each day. 
• Splash check-in will close 1/2 hour before each splash begins. 
• Be sure to sign all necessary waivers at check-in.

Rules, Run Orders and Ribbons

•  It is your responsibility to read and follow NADD and Run Jump Splash Facility Rules.
• Our 21x50 regulation pool will open for practice 1 hour before the first splash each day. Competitor dogs can also “get wet” in our 13x25 pool any time during the day, taking turns with other competitors and Try-It dogs.
• We will have brief handler meetings before each splash. Each handler must attend a meeting before their first splash of the day.
• Running order will be A-Z all days.
• You will be responsible to pick up your own Blue qualifying ribbons at a designated station.
• Specialty Ribbons will be available as soon as possible as scores are entered and double-checked.

Try-its

Run Jump Splash has a separate, 13x25 foot pool available for Try-its.

Try-its cost $10.00 per day (4 minutes on the dock at a time) on this pool.

Finals 

We will hold a Fun Finals on Sunday immediately following the last splash of the day. The top 5 highest scoring dogs in each division (based on the average of their top 3 splash scores) will jump one more time to compete for 1^ST, 2^ND, and 3^rd Place awards.

Note: These jumps do not count towards AKC titles or NADD special event qualifications. But look for the awards to be bigger and better this year! For example, who couldn’t use some RJS QuarryQash for a discount on future events or practice time?!

Food

RJS has been known to work with local restaurants to provide free or reduced-cost lunch for our competitors on Saturdays!  There are also fast-food restaurants in Mitchell, about 10 minutes away. Orleans has a few good dining options as well, including our good friends at El Compadre and Speakeasy Pizza, or head to French Lick for some casino and resort-inspired fine dining.

Air Conditioned, Indoor Restroom!

Just say no to porta-potties! Our safe, secure, and spacious restroom is available to all competitors and remains available for all campers throughout the night. 

On-Site Camping 

• We have two 50-amp and three 30-amp camping spots available (no water or sewer) for $25 per night. Call us to pre-pay/reserve or get on the waiting list. We will refund if you cancel before event pre-registration ends.
• We have unlimited dry camping available for $10 per night. No pre-pay or reservations are required, and generators are welcome in specific areas.
