**NEW THIS YEAR**
Competitors are only allowed to compete in 1 level per trial. This will help eliminate the trial from running over time and keeping the Judge and Steward on the field for more time then needed. You MUST title in the IDCP1 before you can enter the IDCP2, and title in IDCP2 to enter IDCP3. There will be NO DAY OF ENTRY allowed. If you didn't preregister you are out of luck.
