A Clarification from the Chief Marshal …

No bird policy for the 2019 National Amateur Championship will be, if you have a no bird without having  a flyer thrown, you will come right back to the line.  If you have a no bird after a flyer is thrown, you will go back six dogs and be the seventh dog to run.  If you have three no birds after seeing a flyer thrown you will run at the end of the test.

For test dogs, please stay clear of the judges tent and holding blinds.  After the test dogs have run, the first 10 handlers may view the test from the line for approximately 5 minutes, then the remaining handlers in the segment before the next gun change may view the test from the line.  If time permits, others may be allowed to view the line.  You need to wear your numbered bib.

During Gun changes, or for a test dog on a split test, the next three dogs to run must be in the holding blinds.  The handlers may leave their dog with a holding blind marshal and view the line.  The same procedure will be followed, with the next 10 handlers viewing the line during gun change, and the remaining handlers in that segment viewing the line as time permits
