Judge Sandra Tung (BHAJ-082A)

Trial Opens: June 24, 2020
VIZSLA PRIORITY ENTRY: ALL BREEDS can enter anytime via the paper entry form after trial opening, but Vizsla’s will have priority for the first fourteen days. Entries for all other breeds will be held until July 8 and, if there are still runs available, entered into the trial in order of receipt at that time. On/after July 8, all entries will be entered in the order received regardless of breed.

Checks will not be deposited before pre-entry closing, in case there are any changes due to government/sanctioning body/AKC Club restrictions or cancellations. RMR will NOT cancel the show unless forced to by another entity.

Please pay attention to the information in the welcome letter (when posted) regarding special rules/requirements for these trials. BHA is requiring masks for some things, including when you are running in the ring. You must bring your own mask. RMR will not have masks available for competitors and refunds will not be given if you can’t run due to not having a mask. READ THE WELCOME LETTER AND READ THE BHA COVID-19 RULES (link at the top of www.barnhunt.com). No refunds will be given if you aren’t able to run due to not following the rules.

Pre-Entry Closing Date: August 10, 2020
LATE ENTRY ACCEPTED (for an additional fee) IF SPACE AVAILABLE.

Trial Counts:

As of 8/11/2020 at 05:23pm MST, there are only a handful of entries left available each day.  Enter soon!

Conflicts:

We would like to accommodate each and every conflict but sometimes that is impossible and you may have to make a choice. The running order for classes will be posted at the ring each day. Please notify the blind steward of your conflict BEFORE we are running your class so we can discuss how to best accommodate.

We cannot hold a class.

If you are not present by the time your class ends, you will not be able to run your dog in that class for that trial. There are two trials each day but a missed run in trial one cannot be run in trial two and cannot be moved to another day. Missed runs are not eligible for a refund.

How Does The Waitlist Work?

If a day fills and additional entries are received, we’ll take those entries on “waitlist status”. If someone pulls from the trial before pre-entry closing, they will receive a refund (minus any transaction fees) and if there is someone on the wait-list they will move into that spot. 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 (minus a $5 processing fee per day) and the dog from the waitlist will move into the trial for the runs that became available. We will maintain a waitlist until five days before the start of the trial, after which any entries left on the waitlist will be shredded. Entries that are shredded when the waitlist closes will be refunded before the start 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!

Check back to this page to see if there are entries available late/day-of. You can also stop by the event and ask. Things can change last minute!

But What Time Will My Class Start?

We get a lot of questions on “when will my class start” for trials. I cannot give out times other than the start of the first class of the day. However, here is a way for you to estimate when your class MAY start running:

• • • My welcome letters give entry counts as of the pre-entry closing along with the order the classes will run.
    • Here’s what BHA estimates time-wise for each run:
