Agility in CO
Original Proposal had 480 entries a day for an all breed trial in Fort Collins CO. This number was used because the 2009 Longs Peak Dog Training Club trial had this numbers :
This trial back in 2009 was the first two judge trial in the building we plan to use for 2013. We changed the revised Budget after the 2010 Longs Peak Trial (late October)
this numbers mean that Saturday the trial was full (660 runs max, but difficult to get to that with two judges/three classes) we used 660 entries in our proposal because we wanted to use a very conservative number. Why is this number conservative :
- Denver is a booming agility area
- AKC agility entries on average grow almost 10% a year
- AKC changed the waiting list rule this spring, it is now possible to really fill the 660 runs
- this summer there is an additional class, Time2Beat
- 100% full trial in budged where 100% full trials happen
- the facility in Fort Collins could host a three judge trial (990 entries max)
newest comment/question from SCC/BCA board (May 2011)
According to the AKC web site recent agility trials in the area in 2011 have not filled. 100% entry is not realistic.
so here the list of all 2011 AKC all breed agility trials in the Denver area
