AKC Tracking Regulations<\/em> provide clubs an option to award certificates that can be used for an advantage in the drawing for entries at future club tracking events.\u00a0 These are called Worker Option certificates.\u00a0 Each club will decide on their own WO policies that will determine how volunteers can earn a WO certificate, if and when the WO certificate expires and if WO certificates will be given to judges.\u00a0 A test worker cannot benefit from a Worker Option slot in a test in which they are working.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If a club decides to implement the Worker Option at a tracking test, the information and the number of tracks to be set aside must be published in the premium list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The number of tracks that a club may set aside for past workers is determined by the total number of test tracks offered.\u00a0 If a club is offering a combined test, then the tracks from all test types are added together.\u00a0 For example, a 3 dog TD combined with a 3 dog TDX test would be considered 6 test tracks and would qualify to offer 2 WO slots.\u00a0 Alternate tracks that might<\/em> be available for running as a titling track are not considered as \u201ctest tracks offered\u201d.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Entries with Worker Option certificates are drawn before non-worker entries in each draw category (see lists below).\u00a0 After the WO slots are filled, the remaining WO entries are added to the non-worker entries for the draw for the remaining tracks.\u00a0 If the test is being given by a specialty club, then preference is given to the specialty breed before \u201cother\u201d breeds.\u00a0 Non-titled dogs are always drawn before titled dogs.\u00a0 A dog is considered \u201ctitled\u201d if they have either<\/em> a TD or TDU title in TD and TDU tests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
