Nice slideshow with the video.
For trials that only offer one round of Chances per day: could a person be allowed to enter every level of Chances, in order to work toward the new achievement cups, provided the dog is not entered in any other classes with jumps that day?
I have noticed most trials seem to run the levels elite, then open, then novice. There would be no training opportunity for an elite Q, as there would be if the levels ran the other way. However, a person who fails at elite chances could try again in open to see if their dog would be more successful. And again in novice.
I'm chasing elite chances Qs with my dog. It's all she needs for the NATCH. I am making a point to enter double-run trials just for extra chances at elite chances. There is a weekend this summer where one trial has two rounds of chances on a Saturday, and another trial four hours away from there is having two rounds of chances on Sunday. I will try to go to both. See how desperate I am?
I would be more likely to enter trials with single rounds of chances per day if I could also enter open and novice, in order to work on the new achievement awards. Otherwise, I could be waiting years before I would drop out of elite chances and move to a lower level.
I don't think this would be too different from the swap option I have seen at a couple of trials.
