Agility Gate Phone App Check in a t the Gate Entering and
Exiting the Ring
Due to COVID restrictions exhibitors are not allowed to crowd
around the ring entrance/exit gates and the check in board. Roger
Ly has written and given us a FREE phone app to check in your dog
and see, from your canopy, who is in the ring and who is next.
Paper gate sheets will not be printed. There will be a computer
monitor near the ring displaying which dog is in the ring and which
dog is next.
New beginning now and forever: Exhibitors are requested to
download the new, free phone app. The app will allow exhibitors to
check in their dog, mark a conflict, scratch their dog, answer the
question of who is currently in the ring, who is next and how many
before my dog. When there are no more than four dogs before your
dog you may proceed to the gate.
You will not need your phone at the gate. The gate steward will
call out dog names just like at shows in the past. If you have
multiple dogs running too close together in the run order tell the
person holding the Purple Minion iPad holder. They will move your
dog. All moves, scratches etc. will immediately upload to
everyone’s phone app.
Lining up with your dog at Ring Entrance: At any one time there
should be no more than 1 dog in the ring and 4 dogs/handlers near
the entrance gate. At the entrance gate there will be 4 marker
cones spaced appropriately apart. Wait at any available marker
cone.
Exiting the Ring: At the exit gate a “breathing area” will be
designated with markers. On the perimeter of the “breathing area”
there will be 4 white buckets. Exhibitors may place their dog
toy/cookies/phone/hat in one of the buckets. After leaving the ring
exhibitors may remain in this area, without a mask, while praising
their dog and catching their breath. Exhibitors must leave the
area, with their mask on, before the next handler exits the
ring.

My Score is Wrong If you have any questions regarding your score
ask the main score table. Lorie, Dave and Karen. If we do not know
the answer we will find out. Please do not ask the Scribe or Timer
your score or time. They are busy scoring the next dog.
Per AKC Rules only the judge can change the information written
on the scribe sheet– and only if the Judge remembers the run.
COVID Rules hard copies will not be provided. PDF will be posted
the morning of the event. Maps are also connected to the Agility
Gate app

blank.

Where Are The Ribbons Before touching anything relating to
Ribbons/Rosettes first SANITIZE YOUR HANDS.
The Awards Table will be located near the main score table. Once
the Judge has signed off on the scores the ribbon labels will be
printed and placed in the
clipboard on the Awards Table. There will be a check off sheet
on the top of the clipboard indicating which classes have been
signed off and labels printed. You may take your ribbon if the
label has been printed.

Do not stress over conflicts. With Agility, FCAT, Scent, Trick
Evaluations, CGC and Virtual Rally there are sure to be conflicts.
It is very likely that at some point the agility rings will “jam”
with the same height in more than one ring at a time. Everyone will
get a turn.
Agility: there are multiple walk groups. If you have a
legitimate conflict you can move to another group. Mark your dog a
conflict.
FCAT: check in with the Agility Gate app and mark your self a
conflict. You can also speak with Patty Fornelli to move your dog
in the lineup.
Conflicts

FCAT Instructions
Do not cross the start line or finish line at any time either
before or after your dog crosses the line. If you do then your

Each dog needs someone to release and someone to catch at each
end of the track.
Rules for everyone:
1. No walking over the lure line on the exterior of the test
track. This is extremely dangerous as a moving line might burn/cut
you or your dog
2. Inside the track, if needed to catch your dog, step on the
line so your feet and your dog’s paws do not become tangled in the
line
3. Do not walk next to the fenced track on the outside of the
fence. Walk at least 25 feet lateral

dog is running
8. At check in pick up your dog’s time/scribe sheet and give to
your catcher
Catchers at Finish Line
1. Stand well behind the finish line, preferably off to the side
of the track
2. If cones are placed behind the finish line do not stand in
front or between
3. Put dog on lead ASAP and move to the side of the track
4. If you are catching more than one dog and plan to remain at
the finish line be sure the starter is aware of this so they are
not waiting for you to leave the finish area
5. Noise making devises such as whistles, duck calls, electronic
calls or other items of this nature are not permitted. No toys,
treats, flags or other items of this nature are permitted while the
dog is running
6. Handlers are not permitted to run down the course with a dog.
