The first club I trained with was both a USA and WDA member, so I joined both organizations. I've since switched to a DVG club. I'm now a member of all three. Since all three organizations hold numerous trials in my area, I'd like to keep my options open and remain a member of all three. How exactly does this work? For example, can I just get my USA scorebook stamped by WDA and DVG and use that one? Please fill me in.

Thanks!

I believe at this time the USA will not accept scores received at a WDA trial regardless of the judge or scorebook.

"PLANNING ON ENTERING A USA EVENT IN 2004?
FACTS YOU NEED TO KNOW

USA, DVG or another AWDF Member Club’s
Membership is Required for Entry

A USA or a USA CERTIFIED Scorebook is Also Required.

Membership Exceptions:

If your permanent residence is outside the United States, you must provide valid membership information to that country’s WUSV member club. For example, if your permanent residence is in Canada, you must provide valid membership information to the GSSCC at the time of entry.

Trial Secretaries: Please amend your club's entry forms to include this information. Membership numbers with expiration dates should be placed on all judge's sheets. The application for membership form is located in the magazine. Send this form and appropriate membership fees with trial paperwork for trial entrants that are not USA members.

Scorebook Exceptions:

If your permanent residence is outside the United States, you must provide a valid scorebook from that country’s FCI member club. For example, if your permanent residence is in Canada, you must have a valid GSSCC scorebook at the time of entry.

Trial Secretaries: The USA Office certifies all FCI, DVG, AWDF and WUSV organizations scorebooks. Titles recorded in these scorebooks must be obtained by a USA recognized judge. For the breed survey, USA recognized judges are USA, SV and GSSCC judges. Previously certified WDA scorebooks are accepted however, WDA scorebooks are no longer certified by USA and CAN NOT be sent for certification.

So the USA would accept a score entered in a USA scorebook at a WDA trial as long as it wasn't a WDA judge? Can't keep track with the USA without a program.

Yep - has to be an SV judge - not an SV Foreign judge - but an actual SV judge.

LOL and the REAL kicker is that the WDA does not accept titles earned under **their** judges for koering...have to be SV judges on ALL titles, incl BH and AD if you want to koer in WDA!!
