Notes Tips

The "Notes" field lets you provide important details about your stake or level that participants will see when registering. Here are some ideas:

Examples:

Portuguese Water Dog Water Trials:

"Let us know which leg you're aiming for in the notes section during registration."

 
Pointing Breed Field Trials:

"This stake is closed to breeds other than [list of breeds]."

Considerations:

  • Use this space to clarify any details that might not be clear from the title of the level alone.
  • Keep your notes concise and easy to understand for participants.

The "When" Option

This is where you schedule when each stake/level occurs in your event.

Not sure: This is used when the level cannot start until another is finished.  

Specific day/time: Use this if you know exactly when the level will begin. 

Not before a day/time: Use this if starting time isn't yet fixed, but you know it won't begin before a specific time. This is common for Pointing Breed Field Trials, especially for levels on day 2.

Estimated day/time: Use this when you only have an estimated starting time. Pointing breed field trials can use this when the start time for a stake is uncertain.
