Additional spots will be first come, first serve there is no guarantee you will be able to get in but we will email you by 5/24 to let you know either way

- No onsite cash or credit card payments will be accepted. Prepay online with credit card is required PRIOR to event (no later than 5/25) You can view your total du/# of splashes on NADD’s website where you pre-registered. Be mindful that you will need to add up the total splashes for all dogs that you are checking in. If you do not have access to a credit card, you must notify us no later than 5/25 to make other arrangements
- Duke’s waiver, NADD’s waiver and the CODIV19 waiver need to be printed and signed by ALL competitors NO LATER than 5/25. You can upload them directly to the virtual check in link OR Email to dukesk9dashnsplash@gmail.com If you do not have access to a printer, please email us to make other arrangements by 5/25.
- Once we have received your payment and signed waivers, you will automatically be checked in prior to the event and will simply need to let us know you are here and grab your wristband (needed to get on the dock) at check in window when you arrive.
- The steps above should drastically reduce the number of people needing access to the admin window. A barrier will be added to ensure proper distancing. Please keep 6’ between you and the next person in line.
Jump Order/Block Times
- If you have not prepaid and sent your 3 signed waivers via email by 5/25 you will not be checked in and therefore won’t be able to jump as you won’t be assigned a designated jump block/time. Unless you have made other arrangements with us in advance.
- The designated jump times and jump order will be emailed to each competitor between 5/26 and 5/28. Please be patient. There is a ton of preplanning that will need to go into all of this on our end and we can’t start working on all of that until registration closes.
- The order will also be posted on the white board on the dock and by the clubhouse/registration. We will not be able to make changes to the order once they are issued
- During your assigned time block, you will be able to complete a maximum of 4 splashes and 1 AR or HD, depending on what you signed up for. The splashes will be done in 10 dog rotation and not back to back. We will make every effort we can to space out people who have multiple dogs so that you have enough time to switch them out.
- If you signed up for AR or HD, you will be in the last time block of the day
- PLEASE do NOT arrive more than 15 minutes before your scheduled jump block as we need to keep the number of people at the facility at the same time to a minimum. If you show up early, we may have to ask you to wait in your car until your assigned time
- Once you have completed your jumps for the day, please head out so we can keep the number of people at the facility to a minimum

Spectators
- No spectators will be permitted inside our fenced area for this event. Please do not bring friends and family with you to this event. As much as we love having the support of our families/friends, this is not the time to encourage people from different households to group up together in tents/cars etc.
- Remember, we need to keep the number of people at the facility to a minimum. There should be no more than 2 handlers/team.
Fun Finals
- We will not be holding our normal “fun finals” jump offs on Sunday. Instead, we will use the “finals bubble” to determine 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place in each division (based on your best jump of the weekend) and will announce the top dogs after the event has concluded on Facebook
- Awards/Prizes will be available to pick up at our facility after the event is over, by appointment only
