- After a series has been officially set up by the judges, no dog on the grounds and still in competition shall leave the area of the series until it has been tested and excused by the Marshal, unless otherwise excused by the National Master Committee. Further, during the running of the stake no competing dog shall, while on the grounds, be exercised, trained or worked with the exception of a bumper thrown by the handler and this only in an especially approved area and only for the purpose of exercising the dog.

- Exercise areas will be clearly defined.
- Dogs not appearing on line when called will be given 15 minutes to do so.
- Rotation of starting dog will be used as directed by the Marshal.
- No person participating in any capacity in the National Master shall be subject to an indignity of any kind. An officially appointed Discipline Committee will investigate any concerns.
- No dog to be allowed to watch any test having just run the test or not, thus eliminating confusion as to who has run and who has not and reducing the chance of dog fights.
- The first scheduled test of the National will be announced. Each next scheduled test will be posted with the call backs. This procedure will help create fairness for all by eliminating possible competitive advantage for those involved with putting on the trial.
- Judges have no obligation to go ahead with a scheduled test as conditions may change.
