Overall really like most of the results! But, can live with the rest.

I don't think there's another agility organization that would even ask it's competitors
this kind of information. Another reason many of us really appreciate NADAC!

I hope you know you are driving me crazy waiting for this video.  Curious to see what the new rules are! 

No rush - I'm just excited to know the answers.

Is there a place where the new vt rules are written?  I can't get the video because my wifi is down.

Is there a place where the new vt rules are written?  I can't get the video because my wifi is down.

tl/dr is:
all the mandated ones at the top of the survey (no leniency, etc)
150 miles now with 5 days either side of trial is no-vt
q is q far as titles/awards, but VT no longer counts for top 10 and other leaderboards
$10 per submission
Only 2 course sets per month
max 10 submissions per dog per month
I can't remember the rest, but basically all super fair and those are kinda the "changes".

Oh and there will be a review in June (six months down the line, as these new rules go into effect jan 1) and depending on how things are going may be locked down tighter or if too many people still cant behave then still chance for program to be canceled totally.

[Richard Wolfe]

This seems to me a very reasonable revamping of the program.

Thank you, Chris and NADAC staff, for allowing the competitors (customers) of NADAC the chance for input!!!!

I just have one question about semantics. I think that deliberately cheating and misunderstanding the rules are two separate things. But unless I'm misunderstanding something, they both will be treated the same way. If someone truly doesn't understand the rules, is not some education in order from someone before they are penalized? Are you perhaps using the term misunderstanding in another context?

I read it as "we cant tell if they're just *saying* they dont understand, or what, so in effort to be fair, its all treated the same, cause if you want to use the VT program onus is on you to follow the rules and if you dont understand onus is on you to ask" which, tbh, i think is fair.
