USBCHA Trial Sanctioning Policy

New trial hosts, as well as existing hosts, must apply for sanctioning to the HA Secretary at least sixty (30) days prior to the trial date. If the HA Secretary deems it necessary, an Approval Trial Committee will review the request and either approve or disapprove. Errors or omissions by the trial host may be waived by the Trial Approval Committee and their decision will be final. All trial information must be published prior to the trial in at least one Border Collie Magazine, or a local association newsletter, or a flyer to members in that district. Upon request, the HA may furnish address labels to the trial host for the district mailing.

A two (2) dollar per dog sanction fee shall be charged for each dog entered in Open and Nursery competition at all sanctioned trials.

The two (2) dollar sanctioning fee, along with the trial results form is to be mailed to the HA Secretary’s office not later than twenty one (21) days after the trial. The HA Secretary will notify the sanctioning committee if trial management fails to abide by this rule.
