Welcome to the Up ‘n Over NADAC Agility Trial
NADAC courses are fun and fast due to the flow and distance between obstacles.
Please refer to the NADAC website for class descriptions
Once your dog completes a title, you have the option to move up to the next level (on the next day or the next show) or to remain in your chosen level to compete for additional NADAC titles - such as the Superior Performance awards.
Categories: Each class will be split into two categories, Proficient and Skilled. In the Skilled Category, All dogs must jump 4” lower than their Proficient Standard Division Requires. Dogs entered in the Skilled Category may incur 5 or fewer faults, and earn a 5 pt. qualifying round in the regular class only. In the Proficient Category a qualifying round must be clean and will earn 10 pts. There are no 5 pt. qualifying rounds in this category. You MUST indicate either Proficient or Skilled Category on your entry from!!!
Non-Jumping Classes Veteran or Disabled Handler: Handlers aged 60 yrs. or older, or who have a disability that restricts mobility, may opt to enter the non-jumping classes as a Veteran/Disabled Handler and receive additional standard course time. In the non-jumping classes, this option is for Veteran/Disabled handlers only. When entering as a Veteran/Disabled Handler, you must enter all dogs in all classes for the entire trial in this Division. Note: Regardless of your dog’s agility experience or titles earned in other agility venues, you must begin NADAC competition at the Novice level. Measurement forms may be obtained at http://nadac.com/Application-for-Permanent-Height-Card.htm

Dogs in the Proficient Category, Novice, Open or Elite jumping 4”, 8”, 12” or 16”

It is believed that, at all times, handlers will enter their dogs at the appropriate heights, using sound ethics and good sportsmanship. This height exception is for the health and well-being of the dog, not to give one dog a competitive edge over another dog. NADAC assumes that any handler who enters a dog at a lower height has done so to maintain the longevity and good health of their canine companion.

IMPORTANT. Please check your dog's NADAC registration number on your trial confirmation as soon as you receive it; also, please check the copy of the results posted at the trial. You should report any errors to the Trial Secretary immediately.
NADAC records trial results as they are submitted by the host clubs/groups. The individual trial results submitted by the club are uploaded to the files section of the NADACAgility@yahoogroups.com list within two weeks after the NADAC office receives them from the club. The trial results will remain on the list for at least thirty (30) days. Please accept the responsibility to review those results, and check that your registration number and qualifying points, as reported by the club, are correct. You can join the www.NADACAgility@yahoogroups.com list and set your settings to "no mail". You will be able to view trial results and check for any possible discrepancies, without receiving list mail. If you find an error in the reporting of your dog’s qualifying points or registration number, please contact the host club. The host club is responsible for correcting any errors and informing NADAC.
Levels. Points earned at a higher level of a class, prior to the completion of the lower level title, will not be banked by NADAC for future use. If a dog earns points in a level of a class that they are not eligible to title in, those points will not be added to the dog's records.
