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.

Other Notes
This event will use jump cards. We will send out a prepayment link, typically on the Monday (ocassionally it will be Tuesday) prior to the event between 6pm-8pm) We will get it as close to 6 as possible. You will need to prepay and then you may sign up on our "online" whiteboard, aka Sign up Genius.
Sign up Genius is not perfect and can be a bit trying (lots of pop up ads) until you get used to it. Please bear with this learning curve, because it will allow you to know when you will be jumping on the event days, so that you can plan your schedule/drives, etc...and we don't have people sitting out in the heat all day.
Spots are offered first come (online sign up), first served basis. You may register at the event, but be aware that slots will be being filled on a first come first serve basis beginning with the online signup, so the board may be partially or heavily full upon your arrival. You will ABSOLUTELY get to jump, but you may be waiting for an open spot. You can check the online signup to see where the open spots are to avoid this issue!
You will find on the online signup, it is broken into 1 hour blocks of time. Each dog may be signed up a maximum of 2x per hour. You must also have at least one dog in between your jumps. You may stay all day if you wish and spread your jumps over throughout the day (you do not have to leave when your jumps are done as during Covid).
The online running order will be the running order for the event. First come. First Served. Admin reserves the right to make small adjustments to ensure an orderly event. The online running order is designed to give you the convenience of knowing when your jump slots are and plan travel accordingly. If you miss your slot for not being here, you will be able to sign up in the next available open slot upon arrival.
We will be doing the Hard Charger!
