Current Run Availability:

I am sending out initial confirmations every few days for snail mail, online, and dropped off entries. Please check spam and then contact me if you don’t see yours!

Saturday is currently FULL for upper level classes (Detective, Excellent, Master). If you’d like to be added to the waitlist for any of those, submit a paper entry with payment (check/cash). Online entry is still available for everything else, though the upper level classes are getting close to filling for Friday and Sunday so if you’d like a spot in those get your entry in ASAP!

If you don’t already, be sure to check the Matrix Dog and Front Range Scent Work Club Facebook pages (you don’t need to have an account to view them) for updates.

WAITLIST INFORMATION:

If a day fills and additional entries are received, we’ll take those entries on “waitlist status”. If someone pulls from the trial after pre-entry closing and there is another dog we can move in from the waitlist, the person pulling will receive a refund (see policy in premium) and the dog from the waitlist will move into the trial for the runs that became available. On event day, if there are absent handlers declared prior 7:00am on the day of the trial, waitlisted entries present can be taken to fill those spots. Refunds will be issued within 10 days of the completion of the event.

In order to be added to the waitlist you MUST SUBMIT AN ENTRY FORM and PAY IN FULL. You will receive confirmation of your entry that states your entries are “WAITLISTED”. Please keep an eye on your email as your status can change quickly!
