Rally; Agility; Carting; Tracking. Back-to-back events will be considered
as a single event. Events of the same type within a region must be at
least 2 months apart and/or 500 miles apart, with one exception: any
regional event in the same region hosting the National Specialty must
be held at least 3 months before or after that National. AKC only allows
