2024 NADD/AKC Regional Qualifier

UPDATE: AR Day-Of Registration We will be taking up to 10 day-of registrations for AR on Saturday.   These jumps will take place at the end of the day.  We will be rolling straight through splashes at this event rather than waiting for the posted splash times. We will likely be on schedule up until the 3:00 session and then and we should start running ahead of schedule, depending on the number of day-of entries we have for distance. There is no waiting list, entries will be taken first come, first served, however you need to register/check-in by 4:30.

 

TBE Trailers, located in rural Watertown, offers plenty of shaded, grassy areas to set up your canopies or you can crate out of your car.

Ribbons

Ribbon labels will beplaced on a table on the far side of the admin tent immediately following the splash.

​Try-its

Try-its will be allowed as space permits and during splashes if no competitors are waiting to jump. Try-its cost $10.00 for two Try-it tickets. These tickets may be used on any day of the competition.
