Wingpatch:
No more than i know at this time about trials we wouldn't get too far. I need a little more info before embarking off on a trip like that. How schooled are you on the issue?? What do all of those initials mean. Bev has some listed in the TAB but i don't know which ones will apply to my style of dogs and hunting. Someone help us out here. PLEASE.
Swing, down in NW Ark wants to get a club started and i told him i had a few guys interested when he got going on it. He's a judge also if we were to need one.

Having trouble with the Alphabet Soup, Tri? LOL! Wait until you get into AKC trialing and start hearing UBGF AKC SPO, NEBGF, PBGA, DSGDF, NMHA LPOH, MWBGF.......

I have a "master list" of sorts of the different registries' titles. If I can remember, I'll put it in an upcoming issue.

you forgot about the (PBA) Professional Beaglers Association.
Not sure it is up and going yet tho, it's an Illinois based operation.

That PBA will be a good one. lol Me and wingpatch have discussed on other boards what a real trial will consist of. SOme good ideas mind you and would once and for all determine a real champion. lol TO be honest tri-power, I would go to as many different formats as possible to see what you like best. It is a personal preference and it should be a format that your dogs can compete in and one that you could enjoy entering your dogs in. What style dogs do you run. Are they fast or line control.
