Entries over the limit will be placed on a list of alternates. Post entries and move-ups: Dogs earning titles in junior division at each test MAY post-enter senior division on the same day and may move up to senior division on Sunday if they pass junior on Saturday. Dogs earning WRD titles on Saturday may move up to WRDX on Sunday provided this does not exceed the limit of 5 WRDX entries. However, dogs earning WRD titles on Sunday may NOT post enter the WRDX test. Re-qualifiers: Re-qualifiers will be accepted as space allows and will be judged last in their class. Dogs may be entered in more than one division on the same day but only if they have already qualified at previous tests in all of the divisions entered. Re-qualifiers are NOT allowed to post enter additional divisions. Check the appropriate boxes on the entry form for the class(es) entered. If the entry for the test exceeds its limit and a lottery is necessary the dog may not get into each division entered. There will be no substitutions for dogs to change divisions if their entry is chosen for one division but not the other in a lottery. Judges must excuse any dog not in condition to finish the division entered and, if so, the dog will not be able to continue in any other division entered that day.
