Important facts in a nutshell that MUST be adhered to
1. Please have 10 eur environmental flat rate per start ready on arrival! Dog handlers and family members are free.
2. You can earliest arrive at the Stake Out on Tuesday, 8.11.22 from 10.00. Before that, the terrain is taboo. Exception: Organization team.
3. A public training with max. 4 dogs is allowed on Tuesday, 08.11.22 and Wednesday 09.11.22 from 10.00-17.00, never earlier!
4. From Friday, 04.11.22 we will set up the tracks. Anyone who stays on the track from this day on will be sent home, because the public training on two days is enough for everyone. It also makes no sense beforehand, because the tracks can change until the team leader meeting. That’s why the team leaders don’t run the tracks until Wednesday.
5. No arrival before 08.11.2022! Wild camping is generally prohibited in Germany. We EXPECT everyone to abide by this prohibition out of consideration for residents and nature conservation. The public order office is strict and levies high fines for violation!
6. Vetcheck bookings DB1, DS1, CC, Combined: If you have not booked a vetcheck yet, you will be assigned a time and are responsible for compliance with it. One vet check per start, no matter how many dogs you bring. Which dog starts, will be determined by you during the vetcheck. A list with the booked times will be published in advance and also posted on the Vetzelt. Please have the completed examination form for the vet check ready (download homepage).
7. Vetcheck Teams: The times will be announced at the Teamleader meeting.
8. Start numbers: The start numbers include a microtransponder for timekeeping. Please do not bend, shorten, cut or remove material. Handle it carefully and keep it away from magnetic objects.
For canicrossers, we recommend taking a bib number band with them as in triathlons. The number is fastened with safety pins. Needles are included with the number. All other numbers are attached to the vehicle. Cable ties are included in the number.
9. Free-roaming dogs are not allowed on the entire grounds and in the forest and will result in immediate disqualification. Exception: At the stakeout within your fenced area.

Trail Length and Temperature
Due to the current unseasonably high temperatures throughout Europe, we want to assure you that we are closely monitoring the development and if needed, we can adjust the trail lengths to the weather conditions and current training opportunities. A decision on this will be made and communicated at the first Team Leaders meeting in Leipa.
