Event Notes
PLEASE READ ALL INFORMATION BEFORE SIGNING UP!
Welcome to your 2024 SouthWestYouth Handler Regional Championship at 12125 Robert Larson Blvd, Las Cruces, NM 88007 for 2024.
Please remember you must bring your Jr Handler forms for splashes completed in the 2024 season with you to Regionals. That form can be found as the last page in the 2024 Rule book and must be signed by the Admin person at the shows you've attended.
Junior Handlers may compete in both the Junior Handler event specific to their regional and in a regular regional splash for Distance Jumping. There is no option for Junior Handler invites for HD or AR only DJ.
Only the Junior Handler Regional events will count towards a juniors invite to the Junior Handler National Championship. Juniors must be handler of handler of merit for the Junior handler event. If they also compete in the regular Regional event they will be competing with the adults for a spot in the National Championship.
Registration
Junior Handlers must register in advance. There will be no day of registration accepted. Please be sure to be aware of which event you are registering for.
- If they register for the Junior Handler Regional Event, this means the handler will earn a qualifying spot towards the Junior Handler National Championship.
- If the Junior Handler registers for the regular distance jumping, they will be placed and potentially earn a qualifying spot towards the National Championship to compete in the regular DJ event.
Jr. Handlers can enter both the JR. Handler event AND the regular regionals event.
Check In
Junior handlers should check in with admin and let them know that they are the handler of merit for either the Junior Handler event or the Regional DJ event. It is important to verify this information to be sure that admin has the proper info to send National Championship invites to the junior handlers.
Competition and Scoring
The run order (for the Junior Handler event) will be posted on the Wednesday before the regional event. Junior Handlers (for the Junior Handler event) will jump during the break between the two regular Regional splashes that day.
Junior handlers can have an additional handler on the dock, but they must be the handler of merit (throwing the toy). Junior Handlers follow the same rules as Dock Jumping..
Placement and Ribbons
For the Junior Handler Regional event, there are no placements. Each junior competing in the Junior Handler Regional event will receive a qualifier ribbon for their jump.
If Junior Handlers participate in the Regular Regional Event, they will be placed along with all other distance jump competitors for placements.
WE WILL NOT MAIL ANY RIBBONS OUT!!!! YOU MUST HAVE SOMEONE PICK UP YOUR RIBBON AND SIGN FOR IT!!!!!
BRIEFINGS ARE MANDATORY
