Here's the plan:
Saturday
The OSDQ we will start at 7 am and run Courses 1-11 (skipping Course 3)--stopping for coffee at the start of Course 5 (after brace 3) and lunch at the tubes (start of course 9) after brace 7. After lunch we will resume the Shooting Dog (running courses 9-11) and the Open Derby Qualifier will begin on Course 12 and run 4 braces thru Course 15. Back to Alibi for OSDQ announcements.
Sunday gets a tad more complicated:
Amateur Shooting Dog will start at 7 am at the tubes and run Courses 4-13, with coffee at Puppy Junction after brace 3, and then pausing for lunch and 3 (15 minute) braces of Junior Handler (should be about 11:30) at the birdfield. The 3 remaining Open Derby braces will resume roughly 8 am Sunday morning and run courses 16, 1, & 2 (kwik coffee at the birdfield/end of 1), so Derby should be completed before lunch, and announcements can be made at the birdfield. Amateur Shooting Dog will resume after lunch (about 1:30 pm) on Course 10, running the remaining 4 braces through Course 13.
The break for lunch and Junior Handler should be no more than a total of 2 hours. ASD should finish up about 4 pm.
I know this is a bit later than we like to finish on Sunday.
We know it's gonna be fun, and we know we can count on everybody pitching in & cooperating to make things move along as smoothly as possible. We will keep breaks and lunches manageable and as brief as possible.
Thanks to all for your entries! Looking forward to a great weekend!
