What is a “Premium”?: That’s new jargon!

This term confused me for ages; I just kept nodding like I knew what all those agility folk meant when they were saying it.

The "Premium" is simply the agility term for the official entry form. It’s a bit [OK, looks like a lot] more complicated than most entry forms because typically it contains LOTS of information and some of the rules, in addition to the actual trial entry. Have you looked at ours? [Click on the "Dog Park Rules"/Premium List on our Homepage] It’s 7-pages long!

It should be a very useful document to print out as it often contains practical information such as: how to – literally – find the trial site; who to call in case you need to talk to a "real" person; whether or not there will be a food concession at the site [critical to know about your own fuel if you plan on surviving the day!], etc.

Of course, the most important part of the Premium is the actual trial entry form [page 6 of our Premium]. This is the form that you must fill out and send in the mail to the Trial Secretary, with a cheque and a signed waiver. All 3 of these items constitute a complete trial entry and if you are missing any one of these, your entry may not be processed!
