Keystone Agility Club

Check-In Procedures & Measuring

There will be absolutely NO competitor set up on Thursday

Judging is expected to begin between 8am and 9am.  Consult www.dognutmom.com and your final confirmation for final times after entries have closed.

These start times could vary depending on the number of entries. Consult your final entry confirmation for schedule changes.

Express Check-in is available to all competitors that included a copy of their plastic (NOT BLUE PAPER!) permanent height card or a print out of the dog info page from subscriber account indicating that the dog is permanently carded with their entry form.  At Express Check-In you must check yourself in and verify your Registration number.  If you missed verifying it in your confirmation, this will be your final chance to do so.  

Regional - Special Measuring

Any dog entered in tournaments that does not have a completed registration card, i.e. three measurements that place the dog in a specific jump height, must be measured prior to competing at a Regional Championship event or Cynosport® World Games in order to confirm that the dog is eligible for the height entered.

If the dog measures up, the competitor must jump the dog at the higher jump height in all classes regardless of the jump height in which the dog earned its qualifications. If the competitor had a bye at the lower height, the bye is forfeited, and the competitor must compete in all rounds that may have been bypassed as a result of the bye.

Dog Agility Masters® Height Changes Due to Measurement at Check-In

The handler of a dog entered in a Dog Agility Masters^® Team tournament must notify the secretary immediately should their dog be required to jump a higher height than entered by virtue of the judge's measurement. The dog must jump a legal height based upon the judge's measurement in order for all team members to be eligible to earn a qualifying score in the tournament. If entered in a 3-dog team and the dog no longer meets the two-height per team limitation, one or more dogs on the team may be moved to participate as part of a 2-dog or other 3-dog team when both are offered. In any case, the secretary should make every effort to form complete teams from dogs available. Should a member of the team not be able to be reassigned due to this limitation, the competitor(s) may run for in the individual classes for individual awards, if any are offered, and for individual class qualifications towards Lifetime Achievement Award. There shall be no refund of fees paid for entering an improper height as required by tournament rules. In the case of a 2-dog team, a height change for one dog does not affect their team composition but may result in a change in their position in the running order because of the height composition of the team.
