To waive the required Regional Championship participation for Gregory Silas to qualify for the 2026 USCA National Championship.
EB #30-26
Motion by Don Yelle, New England Regional Director, seconded by Michele Elmore, Secretary, to waive the required Regional Championship participation for Gregory Silas to qualify for the 2026 USCA National Championship
Background: Mr. Silas entered the 2026 New England Regional Championship. He also attended the draw and drew his order number. The next morning, his dog was not putting any weight on one of his legs. He had to pull his dog and took his dog to the vet the same day. His dog subsequently had an infection in his right foot. He did produce a vet note stating as such. Greg and his dog have earned a qualifying score of 282 points at a club trial last June. Mr. Silas was unaware that he only needed to report in for a phase to complete his regional participation as a prerequisite for the Nationals.
