Thank you for bearing with me while I was out of town and also with my broken email! As mentioned earlier, I’m working on switching my email & website provider to another service to try and fix all the problems since they migrated me to a new server. That is currently in process and will hopefully be completed in the next week. In the meantime, if you email me and don’t receive a reply within a day or two (excluding weekends), please feel free to text or call or message me on facebook. Some emails are taking a few days to make it through, others are bouncing back. I apologize!

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.

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.
