Note To All Competitors
In the interests of safety for all concerned, small children  are not allowed to walk the course
with their parents, or be in the ring at any time during a trial.
Only those entered in a class may walk the course.
Interested others (e.g: one instructor with novice competitors) may ask the judge's permission
to accompany a newcomer. Congestion is to be avoided, and all competitors are expected to
show consideration for others while course-walking. If necessary course-walking may be split
into height catgories at big events.

        Note To All Competitors 
          Barking dogs left unattended and close to the rings causing a disturbance, will be asked to move.
          Failure to comply with such a request from the Trial Manager may lead to further action being taken,
          with disqualification from the trial being the last resort available.


Multiple-entry Forms
Trial Secretaries Please Note: Trial schedules cannot specify 'separate entry forms'
as the multiple-entry forms are approved by the ANKC and Dogs SA, so must be accepted
if competitors choose to enter that way. 
All the Club can note on the schedule in this regard is :is 'Separate entry forms preferred'.

Proof of Desexing
Just a reminder that proof of desexing of bitches is required at trials when collecting your numbers :
Proof can be in the form of an ear tattoo, desexing certificate, or if it's on your height card.
NOTE: This will be a requirement for collection of numbers at all State Championships.

Lack of Scoreboards at Trials
If scoreboards are not in use at trials, competitors are asked to use discretion when attempting to
look at the score sheets. If you must check your score, you are to do so without disturbing the scribe.

2011 Equipment Rules re Hoop design/structure, effective Jan.1st 2012

Framed Hoops Banned in SA
Dogs SA, in conjunction with the Agility Advisory Committee have unanimously agreed
in March 2009, that framed hoops are not to be used in competition anywhere in South
Australia , effective immediately.   This ban remains in place in S.A. with the 2011 Rules.
Trialers competing interstate should be aware that framed hoops may be used elsewhere.
                                             ______________________________  
  
   The previous ban on the use of break-away hoops (March 2009)
i.e: that neither clubs nor judges were to use break-away hoops in any competition in S.A.
     
   was lifted with the recent (April 2011) acceptance of the 'new Rules' which require all
hoops to be of a break-away design by January 1st 2012, allowing them to be introduced
into training in advance of that date.
  
All South Australian Judges, Dogs SA Affiliated Clubs and SACA Agility Representatives
have been notified of the above recommendation and endorsement.
