Event Notes
- A NADD Registration Number is required to enter, purchase here for $35.00.
- Splashes include up to three minutes on the dock for one optional practice jump and two judged jumps. You must inform the judge prior to your jump if you want it to be considered a "practice jump".
- This event is being run by a NADD mobile dock. Info on parking and other event site info can be found on the event description or on our social media page.
- This event is an Open Splash event. This is done at Portable Dock trials and other shows that have timing conflicts with other dog events. The time for each splash for the day will be set such as 9am for example for all the splashes. You have between the posted start time and end time (either before AR starts or the end of the last day, usually 3pm) to complete your splashes for the day. When you check in you will be handed “Splash Cards” for each splash that you pay for. When you are ready to jump during the day, hand a splash card to the wrangler to get put into the running order. It is the handler's responsibility to be sure to be present it before their turn to jump. Please be aware that at many events, the running order board fills very quickly and early in the day.
- Please Note: You must pay for all pre registered splashes at time of check-in. Any splashes not paid for will be put back into the event's on-site registration availability list and result in a no-show. If you are registering multiple dogs there will be a no-show for each dog. You are responsible for all pre-registered splashes.
- Each distance jumping Splash allows 2 judged jumps, back to back. The longest jump of them will be your Qualifying Score.
- You can earn a Diving Dog Title at this event. You must have five Qualifying Scores within a Division. NADD titles are recognized by the AKC and CKC through their recognition programs. View their applications here (AKC) and here (CKC).
- Please read the official NADD Rules before you attend the Trial.
NADD Regionals Qualifier
- In order to qualify for Distance Jump, each dog must have a minimum of three DJ splashes completed at this event. We then take the average of the top three jumps from the event for each dog. Only the top 3 dogs in each division will receive an automatic Distance Jump invite to the Regionals.
- Jumps in all the Splashes will count towards your NADD/AKC titles.
- The Air Retrieve and Hydro Dash qualifier will be based on the highest score achieved at the event. In both Open & Lap, the Top 3 Finishers for each division will earn invites.
Try-its at this event
- Try-its will be allowed as space permits and during Splashes if no competitors are waiting to jump. Try-its cost $10.00.

Other Notes
NEW SCHEDULE 3/16/22
Due to the high number of dogs wanting splashes we will be starting earlier than originally planned.
Admin & boards will open at 7:30am. We will start jumping dogs at 8am. AR/HD will run at 12 & 5pm.
Between 12-1 each day will be an optional time for HD (max 30 spots) or AR (max 10 spots) depending on whats offered that day. You can sign up that morning to compete at that time slot.
Parking & Fees
Parking passes should be purchased on-line at: https://kec.parkmobile.io/venue/kentucky-exposition-center/events/116627
A ruling of the Kentucky Exposition Center stipulates that all vehicles entering the Kentucky Exposition Center are to be charged a $10.00 parking fee at the gate each time upon entering the grounds. Discounted parking passes can be purchased in advance through the Kentucky Exposition Center. Exhibitors may purchase an “Event Pass” which allows unlimited access to the site for as many days as required. The price of the “Event Pass” will be based upon $12.00 per day during restricted hours. Prices for an “Event Pass” are subject to change by the Kentucky Exposition Center. All parking regulations must be observed or vehicles will be towed. Exhibitors are responsible for observing all parking regulations and signs. The clubs have no jurisdiction over parking and absolve themselves of any responsibility and/or liability to exhibitors who park illegally or have damage done to their vehicles.
HOW IT WORKS:
When you arrive and get settled, come check in at the admin table (best without your dog) , under the Antinol tent, near the dock and pool. Share a warm greeting and your dog(s) name and what you need (either checking in or needing to sign up) , then sign your waiver(s). You will get a total for your jumps, etc, then pay (cash, check, credit) , and then receive your jump cards (HD and AR do not get cards). Probably best to head right to the board and let the board person know when and how you'd like to jump (pick your times and spacing between jumps/dogs).
Once on the board, keep an eye and an ear out for your turn as it can always shift a little earlier or later than you scheduled. If you miss your turn within 30 mins we can usually get you right in but any longer and you may end up moving to later in the day. Just know we will do everything we can to accommodate your jump needs.
This will be a packed event so time will be a factor. If you come later in the morning you may have to wait a while to get your splashes done.
* Maximum of 12 distance splashes per event per dog.
Please read before signing up!
