All trials must be approved by the USBCHA secretary.
Approval forms must be submitted 30 days prior to entry open date*. Requests submitted later will need a waiver from the two district directors of the district where the trial is held.
*This has been temporarily reduced to 5 days prior to entry opening date.
If Trial Managers forward electronically entry forms, directions, running orders to the secretary, they will be posted under Info/Entries
EO=Entries Open Date, O=Open, N=Nursery, Dist = District
