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:
Page 9 of the BHA rulebook gives an estimate for judging time per run, per class (www.BarnHunt.com under “Rules & Resources”)
My welcome letters give entry counts as of the pre-entry closing along with the order the classes will run.
You can multiply out the estimated judging time per run x the entries in each class to get a rough estimate. However, please note that this doesn’t include absent dogs, move-ups, day-of-show/late entries, etc. And runs don’t always last the “estimated” judging time per run. There are no refunds/credits/moves for missed runs. Calculate at your own risk!
