From the NAFA Rulebook

Section 7.5 — Changing Clubs

If a dog has earned points with a NAFA® Club in a NAFA® sanctioned tournament, the dog may not be listed on a time sheet for any class other than the Veterans or Open class with a different NAFA® Club for a period of 87 days.

The 87-day wait period begins the day after the end date of the last day of a tournament in which the dog earned NAFA® points. The dog will be eligible to be listed on a time sheet with a different club in a class of competition that starts the day after the 87-day waiting period.

A dog must be eligible to race at the beginning of a class of competition to be included on the time sheet.

Read additional rulebook notes
  • Any dog listed in violation of this rule will cause the forfeiture of all NAFA® points earned during the tournament for all dogs on the time sheet.
  • The team with the dog violating this rule will also forfeit any tournament placement.
  • The 87-day rule does not apply to the Veterans or Open classes.
  • A dog running in the Veterans or Open class shall retain its existing club affiliation.
  • Performance Teams may include dogs that otherwise would be ineligible to compete because the dog earned points on another club’s team within the preceding 87 days, subject to the conditions and requirements described in the NAFA Rulebook.
