A condition of entering a J.J. show brings a requirement that all competitors give some time, to assist at a ring. It is one of the things you are agreeing to when you sign the entry form. If you do not wish to help then please do not enter a J.J. show. All competitors will be allocated a time slot when they will be required to make themselves available at a ring. This will be marked on your ring cards. Each ring will have a Ring Manager who will be responsible for allocating tasks and arranging relief so that all can enjoy their dogs. If everyone does their bit, then no one should need to work more than an hour or so! No one is expected to forgo running their dog in the process of helping.
