I won't have to look at the elite one and guess the changes?Not sure how he worded it on the video without going back and listening. But at any rate - you ARE already in the ring when you hear good luck - just like any other trial. You're at the startline. Actually you have been at the startline for a few seconds because there is a side curtain barrier that protects your dog from seeing anything except what's right in front of him - and it is also protecting the dog that is running from seeing any upcoming dog. And that dog running also finishes by running past a protective curtain. So neither the dog running nor the dog waiting can see each other at all. So once the dog before you is finished and on leash you are given the standard "good luck", leash off, drop it and go.Course maps aren't posted. But you don't have to "guess" any changes. They will have already happened - or the course will have been renumbered - before you walk. Some people do like to make a game of sitting in the stands and watching the course being built and guessing what it's going to be But whenever anyone is walking, they are walking the course that THEY will be running.

Chris,You could post the course maps online - it would prevent crowding! Robin
But we would not be able to get online access inside according to what Chris has said.Isabel
