HERDING EVENTS POLICY |
|
Fully AKC licensed Affiliate clubs may apply for the use of event numbers not less than sixty (60) days prior to trial application deadline. Requests for consideration by the BCSA Board of Directors must be accompanied by proof of liability insurance, a proposed or previous to within two years trial budget and a copy of the completed AKC trial application. Use of event numbers is granted by a majority vote of the Board. Not fewer than five BCSA members among the Affiliate’s membership must be available to the Affiliate’s trial organizing committee and present on the day of the trial. All proceeds and losses of such trials are the sole responsibility of the Affiliate club.
AKC licensed organizations outside of the BCSA and its Affiliate Club program may make application for the use of BCSA herding event numbers to hold a co-sponsored trial. Application and trial requirements as detailed for BCSA Affiliates above apply in all cases, with the additional requirement that 50% of gross profits resulting from the BCSA numbered trial event is to be payable directly to BCSA. Any losses resulting from such events are the sole responsibility of the outside organization.
Individuals or committees comprised of five BCSA members may propose to hold BCSA agility or herding trials for the sole benefit of BCSA after costs. Application to hold such events must be made to the BCSA Board of Directors not less than ninety (90) days prior to the AKC application deadline. Because such events will be assumed under the complete responsibility and liability of the BCSA, applicants to hold such events must expect a greater role of the BCSA Board of Directors with respect to oversight of trial planning and execution.
