· Each handler has 10 minutes per run. When time is up the handler must leave the ring.

· The only person allowed in the ring with the handler is the ring steward, unless the handler requests other persons to assist.

· Each handler is assigned an approximate ring time based on the class entered, when the entry is received, and jump height in Open and Utility classes. No person can move up without permission from the handlers in front of that person and from the ring steward.

· Handlers with multiple dogs must wait, after the first run of each dog, for all other handlers to complete their first run, before doing a second run of the same class.

· Each handler will use the time as he/she desires. It may be used for training or strictly as a trial. Handlers will tell the ring steward if they want a pattern called, and if they are in A or B class. Coaching is allowed if the handler wishes but other handlers should refrain unless told otherwise.

· The guidelines of Good Sportsmanship apply so as to make these events productive, pleasant and fun for all.
