Trial Volunteer Roles

Course Builder: 

Place obstacles for each course according to judge's diagram

Ensure weave poles and tunnels are secured, table, teeter, dogwalk, and A-frame at correct heights

Move obstacles if/as required after judge measures course

Set bars at correct height for first dog after walkthrough

  

Leash Runner

Pick up the leash and collar from the start line and take it to the finish line after the dog starts the run.

Do not step into the dog's line of sight.

If the dog leaves the ring before the finish line, make sure the handler gets the leash.

  
Gate Steward

Check in all dogs during and after walkthrough.

Resolve conflicts in run order.

Ensure next dogs are "on the line", "on deck", and "in the hole".

Announce next 3-5 dogs to run:  keep class moving.

Announce "last dog at this height" so ring crew can change heights.
 
Ring Crew
Reset jump bars, straighten chute, weave poles and tunnels.
Change jump heights after gate steward announces "last dog at this height".
Check with judge to see if bars should be reset or left down if the jump is taken twice in the course.
Position your chair so the dog does not see you when taking obstacles; do not move when the dog can see you.
 
Scribe

Ensure the dog on the line matches the scribe sheet.

Record faults as the judge signals them; watch the judge, not the dog: closed fist - R - refusal (5), one open hand - S - standard fault (5), two open hands - F - major fault (20), whistle - E - elimination (no score).

Record time from timer at end of run.

 

Scorekeeper

Tally faults on scribe sheets.

Transcribe scores onto score sheet.
Determine qualifying runs.
Post score sheets.

Score Runner

Take scribe sheet from Scribe and deliver it to Scorekeeper.

Let Scorekeeper know "last dog in class" or "last dog at this height".

Run sheets after every 2-4 dogs.
