IMPORTANT. Please check your dog's NADAC registration number on your trial confirmation as soon as you
receive it; also, please check the copy of the results posted at the trial. You should report any errors to the Trial
Secretary immediately.
NADAC records trial results as they are submitted by the host clubs/groups. The individual trial results submitted
by the club are uploaded to the www.NADACForum.com within two weeks after the NADAC office receives them
from the club. Please accept the responsibility to review those results, and check that your registration number
and qualifying points, as reported by the club, are correct. You can join the Forum by going to
www.NADACForum.com and submitting your request. If you find an error in the reporting of your dog’s qualifying
points or registration number, please contact the host club. The host club is responsible for correcting any errors
and informing NADAC.

recorded by NADAC for future use. If a dog earns points in a level of a class that they are not eligible to title in,
those points will not be added to the dog's records.
