Updates to Ribbons and swag bag options
With the rising costs of pretty much everything required to run the event we had to increase the entry fee last year. We are going to try and use those funds to bring back the swag bags and awards to a top tier level of quality.
For the Placement ribbons per round we are going to a combined concept of both ribbons and acryllics. The 1st through 3rd placements will be the ribbons like we have done in past years. And 4th through 8th will be an upgraded version of the acryllics we've done the past two years.
For the swag bags we are making sure that everyone entered receives a t-shirt and the customized items regardless of their ability to volunteer. The customized items are the acryllics with your dogs name and your name, the custom banners, etc.
If you would also like the swag items that we typically have to purchase from vendors then you will need to volunteer. The good news is that you only need to volunteer for a single position each round!
We have enough people at the event that if each person were to just volunteer for a single position per round, we would actually have a massive excess of workers available, rather then the shortage that typically happens. And in even better news, if you don't have an available position to work, because they all fill, that is not a problem either and you still get your swag bag! It is very likely that all worker positions will get filled up, as they did last year. You just have to show that you're atleast willing to volunteer :)
Working one position in a round ends up being around 20 minutes.
The event can not happen without volunteers. If we have to start paying people to work, then entry fees would also have to increase to cover that, so we're just trying to keep costs as low as we can even with the rising costs involved.
Please keep in mind that volunteering can also happen outside of the rounds, you can help course build between rounds, help with set up or tear down each morning or night. All of these things will get you that swag bag and our eternal gratitude!
PLEASE READ!
Your info and your dogs info will be pulled from our database. You will get a confirmation email closer to the event confirming the details, and if anything needs to be changed that is no problem!
Entry Costs for the Main event is $350 per dog with no coupons or deals.
Pre Trial is $10 Per Run. We aren't doing any package deals this year, but at $10 per run it's actually cheaper then the previous years package deals for entering all 12.
Camping is organized and paid through Cam-Plex, we will send out more info as the event draws closer.
Note about entering multiple dogs
We've attempted to make the form have options for entering multiple dogs at once, and we've found it just causes more issues in the long run then it's worth. So the form will only accept entries one dog at a time.
