Southeast KG Championship

As everyone knows by now, the four KG Championships will be used to determine who will represent DVG America at the 2010 DVG BSP. With this in mind, the SEKG Board is seeking bids from clubs wanting to host the KG Championship. This unique situation in allowing the top two KG winners to represent us in Germany should encourage more people to enter the championship trial.

The date of the trial MUST BE either the last weekend in January or the first weekend in February. This will ensure that the same judge will preside over each of the Championships.

Clubs wishing to host the regionals must be able to provide three things
1) A neutral field (as defined below)
2) Adequate tracking fields within easy traveling distance
3) A clean, reasonably priced hotel nearby

Any club that can fulfill these three requirements are encouraged to put in a bid. Each bid will be judged on their ability to provide the three elements listed above. Once a club has been awarded the position of host, the KG Board will work closely with the club to ensure the neutral field rule is followed. NO PRACTICE TRACKING will be allowed on or near the trial fields unless publicly announced in the KGK or Announcement List and open to all KG members. Anyone caught on the trial field or tracking fields before the trial will be sanctioned by the KG Board.

Listed below is addition information regarding the requirements of a neutral field.

DEFINITION:
1) A neutral field is defined as a field on which no participants in the DVG BSP qualification have trained on (except for pre-trial practice) since the 2009 LV/DVG America National Championship.

2) If a neutral field is not available (because of sports events or cost
consideration), the KG's may have the option of holding an open trial separate from the VPG 3 level championship. Level 1, 2 and 3 dogs may participate. The open trial may be held on Saturday and may be considered a championship for the VPG 1 and 2 level dogs and may also include VPG 3 level dog/handler teams not wishing to compete to qualify for the DVG BSP. A separate trial for the VPG 3 dogs only may be held on Sunday for those handlers hoping to qualify for the DVG BSP. This trial will be considered the VPG 3 KG Championship and the winner's score will be compared with other KG championship winners for DVG BSP qualification. The competitors in this VPG 3 trial may not have trained on the trial field (except for pre-trial practice) since the 2009 LV/DVG America National Championship.
