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.

The administration desk and the board will open one hour before the first competitive splash of the day.
Open dock time will not be guaranteed at this event.
To keep the flow of the competition going we will be offering try-its and open dock time at the end of the day, if time permits.
We will offer "day-of" onsite registration.
We will begin selling these spaces on a first come, first served basis when registration opens. We will continually assess our schedule and if we are able to open up more spaces throughout the day, it will be announced by the dock announcer and will be on a first come, first served basis as well, we will not have a waiting list.
ALL DOGS are limited to 12 overall Distance splashes at this event.
If you sign up for more than 12 distance splashes, we will remove the overage.
It is critical to the event running on time that you turn in your splash cards as early as possible each day.
Cards must be submitted no later than 2 hours before we transition into our specialty event. It is the competitor’s responsibility to ensure they have their jumps completed. In the case that a competitor is unable to complete their jumps on their scheduled day, refunds will not be given.
Distance competitors are required to check in 5 dogs prior to their turn.
We can run ahead of schedule, so please check the board regularly. Please alert the board wrangler that you are here. If your dog cannot calmly be behind the dock at that point, please send a placeholder to let "the Wrangler" know you are present and ready.
If you miss your turn, your card will be added to the end of the running order for the same hour. If you miss that turn as well, your card will be returned to the Admin desk for you to pick up and get back on the whiteboard as time permits, in the case that a competitor is unable to complete their jumps on their scheduled day, refunds will not be given.
If you have a scheduling conflict with another AKC event and cannot make it for your scheduled time on the dock, please let us know ASAP.
This will allow us to stay on schedule. We can move you and open your slot for another competitor to fill. If you cannot make it back to the Dock arena, please send a representative to do this for you.
Hydro Dash and Air Retrieve competitors must be checked in 2 hours prior to the scheduled start time and attend the mandatory briefing 30 mins before the specialty starts.
