Non-Jumping Classes – Veteran or Disabled Handler Handlers who are 60 years or older, or who have a disability that restricts mobility, may choose to enter the non-jumping classes as a Veteran Handler and receive 10% more standard course time. This option is for Veteran/Disabled handlers in the non-jumping classes only.

In the non-jumping classes, dogs will be scored and placed with their Standard Division jump height.
