complete the course will not be eligible for points.

organizations running two day rallies will result in points
being awarded for your overall finishing position on the final

in which case points will be awarded as normal for either day.

No points will be awarded to a
dog not named on an entry form except where a dog has been
substituted & the event organizer has accepted the substitution.
Points
Collation.
All points will be collated
using results from various working/race organizations. It will
however remain the responsibility of the owner/driver of a team
to notify the points collator of their dog/s pedigree name/s and
which dogs they will be working/competing in the Working
Malamute of the year awards.
Any
alterations/corrections/notifications as to which dogs ran at a
rally must be notified to the points collator within two weeks
of the event in question.
