We will meet on the morning of Thursday, April 16 at 7:30 a.m. at Township Memorial Park (AKA Wilson Park). Due to the large number of entries, we are going to have to keep things moving along. The course order will be as follows: Wilson Park, Gas Line, High-Line, Diablo Jake, Culvert, and Crash (followed by H Course and Horse Creek if the river comes down enough to allow access). The plan is to run a minimum of 6 shooting dog braces Thursday and Friday (we will run 7 each day if Horse Creek and H Course aren’t too flooded to use). Saturday, we will start the derbies after lunch and that stake will run concurrently with the shooting dog stakes. The CH should conclude by Saturday evening or before lunch on Sunday (depending on whether we're able to run 6 or 7 braces per day). The derbies will run until completion on Sunday.
We are at the mercy of mother nature, but we will do everything in our power to ensure that we run at least 6 SD courses per day. Please arrive in a reasonable timeframe to ensure that you won't miss your brace. We also will tolerate no abuse of judges, marshalls, etc. People volunteer their time to make these trials run efficiently, and we expect them to be treated with respect. If you have any questions, please reach out to Alex Anderson (715-451-4505) or Keenan Foley (608-212-2342).
We will post updates on the cover dog message board and the CVGDA social media accounts as we get through the first day or two of the trial and have a clearer idea of how the timeline is going to unfold. Below is the running order:

We have been able to run 6 courses each day for the CH. We will continue to do so tomorrow and finish the final 3 braces on Sunday.
The derbies will start after lunch on Saturday, but lunch will start after brace 3 of the shooting dog, so if you’re in an early derby brace, please be there by noon. Lunch will be at the Roger King Knight’s Pool Pavilion and the derbies will take off from Wilson Park.
