The Licensed Competition Seminar was held in Louisville, KY, on January 15, 2010. The presentations and handouts for that seminar are now available to view/print online at www.usef.org/_IFrames/LicensedOfficials/clinics.aspx. Included this year are new charts for each breed/discipline outlining the basic requirements you will need to put on that type of competition. The “Licensed Competition Handbook” takes you step-by-step through all the stages of planning your competition. Other useful items, as well as the PowerPoint presentations used at the seminar are also available.
