Your assigned run time is listed below the map, under the participation level you registered for.
​
ARRIVAL, CHECK-IN & HUMAN BATHROOM

• Please arrive 20 minutes before your run time. Excessively early arrivals will not result in getting to run earlier in the day.

• Park in the designated competitor parking areas when you arrive (see map on website page). 

• Enter the marked entry door on the map to check-in at the registration desk.

• Please confirm your car make and model and cell phone # when you check-in.

• When your runtime is coming up, a volunteer will come get you and escort you inside the building to begin your first search. Do NOT stage outside with your dog unless you are told to do so.

• Human restrooms are available indoors near registration. Please coordinate with a volunteer to get in/out of the bathroom area so you do not disturb a search that may be in progress.

• If you have a red bandanna dog, please bring your own bandanna.
   

DOG POTTY AREAS & LEASH REQUIREMENT

• Dogs must be on-leash at all times on the property. 

• Dogs can be pottied on the property in the designated areas only. Do NOT allow dogs to pee in other areas of the property.

• Pick up any poop and place it in the waste bins near the potty/parking areas or take it with you off-site.
   

SEARCH AREA DETAILS

• There will be no walk through prior to searching.

• All participants will have 3 indoor searches. Once you enter the building with your dog, you will go right to your first search, traveling through the 3 search areas consecutively.

• Searches will be conducted following the current NACSW trial rulebook guidelines for false alerts, faults, and errors. If you would like to continue running after false alert/s, you must request as such at the beginning of each search. If you do not request this, you will be dismissed from the search after false alerts.

• For each search:​

  • All searches will be run blind unless you tell the judge you would like to know where the hides are. 

  • Be sure to call "ALERT" when your dog has found each hide. NW2 and above, be sure to call “FINISH” when your dog is done searching.

  • IMPORTANT: Either a volunteer or a sign in the staging area will tell you the search criteria for each search. Please be sure to pay attention to directions from volunteers so you know what to do!

• Spectators are welcome, but they may not be able to watch all searches due to search area size.

• Participants may video record their own searches according to the current NACSW trial rule book guidelines. Have your camera on and already recording before you step up to the start line for each search. Spectators are not allowed to record the searches.

• After you are finished running with your dog, you are welcome to leave.

• Participants who opted in to be included in the results: I will email you within a week after the event with the search area results.
