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 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.

This event is an Open Splash event. The time for each splash for the day will be set at 9:30am for all the splashes. You have between the 9:30AM and 2:30PM to complete your splashes for the day. If there are distance splashes are not done before AR/HD starting they will be finished after AR/HD. When you check in you will be handed “Splash Cards” for each splash that you pay for (you will not get a card for AR or HD). 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. So this means you do NOT have to be there at 9:30AM you can come later in the day you just must be checked in by 12:30PM and on the board by 1:00PM.
The board often times fills up fast in the morning for the first few hours so you want to come early or plan on coming later if you do not want to spend all day. We try our best to run on time and keep things moving. We will stop distance jumps to do AR/HD at their set times for that day then finish up any distance jumps after.
