Do not hand them to anyone else, do not put them in the cash box, do not just leave them on the secretary’s desk, etc. RMR is not responsible for entries not handed directly to the TS, and the TS will not hunt them down.
DO NOT otherwise leave or mail entries to the facility! DO NOT MAIL ENTRIES OR LEAVE THEM AT MATRIX DOG! Please note the mail is EXTREMELY SLOW at the moment. Entries must be RECEIVED on or before the pre-entry closing deadline to be eligible for the pre-entry discount otherwise late/day-of-show entry rates will apply. Dropping off or mailing an entry to Matrix does not count as the entry being received unless it is handed directly to the RMR Trial Secretary.

Documents:
Premium – click here for more information about these trials. Entry form on the back page! On some devices the entry form does not display in the PDF, if this happens please try a desktop computer.
Online Entry – The online entry form will be available on opening day and close at midnight MST the Tuesday before the trials (or possibly sooner if the trials start to fill). Fees are lower with a paper entry though, and the additional fees will not be refunded if the trials are cancelled or you pull an entry.
Welcome Letter (will be posted on or before the Tuesday prior to the trials)

Running Order will be available at the trial. Entry counts, schedule, and class order will be listed in the Welcome Letter.

Practice/Lessons:
On Saturday, 30 minutes after the conclusion of the trials we will be offering lessons and practice at the trial site. Come warm-up your dogs or learn some new skills! Sign-up at the trial site.

$5 per 5 minutes in the ring to warm-up your dog or work independently (no instructor, you are on your own for hiding rats, etc).
$10 for a quick non-scored instinct test to see if your dog is interested in the rats (very limited instruction).
$55 for a 30 minute private lesson (you can share with as many dogs/people as you like).

There are usually lessons offered the day before the trials start too! Visit www.MatrixDog.com under “Classes” and then “Barn Hunt”.

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 (this is in MINUTES):

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!

If someone pulls from the event 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 event 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 event for the runs that became available. We will maintain a waitlist until five days before the start of the event , 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 (this is in MINUTES):

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!

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!

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 event 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 event 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 event for the runs that became available. We will maintain a waitlist until five days before the start of the event , 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.

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:

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!
