Registration for Fall Frenzy 2024 Agility Workshops will open starting Wednesday, September 11th at 8:00 PM.
The registration links will be available on the home page of the website under “Fall Frenzy 2024.” in the top left corner. We are using the same registration system we used for the Frenzies last year.
In an effort to reduce stress and increase fairness, any workshop that over-fills within the first 12 hours, will have spots given by random draw. If a workshop does not fill in the first 12 hours, spots will be first come first serve.
You will receive confirmation as to whether or not you got in or are on the waitlist by Friday September 20th at the latest.
**PLEASE NOTE: Some workshops have different start times than others! Some workshops are full day! Please read descriptions carefully!
**REMINDER! Registering does NOT guarantee you a spot! You will receive a confirmation email from JOTFORM for registering and then another from us alerting you as to whether or not you got in or are on the waitlist. Please make sure you type your email address correctly!
Please only sign up for workshops you actually want. If too many people sign up for extra workshops, hoping to just get into something they are less likely to get into workshops they are most interested in.
There will be more sign ups available than spots so that we are able to create waitlists and pull for the random draw. We will email you to confirm spots. If, after registration opens, you do not see anything available, it means that the workshop and the waitlist are full. You will receive confirmation as to whether or not you got in or are on the waitlist by Friday September 20th at the latest.
