Anyone found not picking up after themselves or their dog will be excused from the event without a refund. If a dog eliminates on the field, time will not stop and you may finish your round, but the player is required to clean up after their dog as soon as the round is complete. However, this can make it tough for all dogs in future rounds, so please take care to walk your dogs, so they eliminate prior to their turn.

If your dog is sick, please respect the other dogs and DO NOT attend the event and seek veterinary attention. We will offer a refund with a veterinary note, however we will NOT offer a refund to any dogs we need to dismiss from the event site due to illness.
