​Eligibility:
Entry determined by host based on these criteria:
• Dog/Handler team must competing at the NACSW NW3 level or AKC Masters or equivalent in another scent detection organization (special requests may be considered by the host).
• One dog per handler.  If handler has two equally titled/qualified dogs, handler may choose to run both dogs split
between the three days, but the handler/dogs will be ineligible for any placement or ribbons overall.  Scores will be
kept separate from all other team's scores.  Two dogs per handler will only be allowed if the event does not fill with
single dog/handler teams.
​• In the case the event does not fill with teams with the above qualifications, additional teams may be added by the host.
