Obedience Trial Manager for CDSP

Managing "live" CDSP trials is paperwork-intensive. Several years ago, I approached a friend to develop an Excel sheet that would create necessary trial paperwork like score sheets and trial score logs. It also helps track credits and debits in a Budget sheet.

What the Obedience Trial Manager will do:

• Maintain a master list of all dogs entered in the trial.
• Enter a dog from the master list into whichever classes were entered.
• Print Score Sheets (Worksheets) for each entry, including the dog's CDSP number (used as Armband number), breed, class entered, jump height, club initials, date, judge, and trial number.
• Print Trial Score Logs with the trial date, trial host, trial number, class and level, and judge's name, and teams entered in that class. Print before each class and hand-write scores and placements. NEW: Enter scores and placements on the Entries Sheet after each class for a more legible look to your submitted form. 
• Provide a Budget sheet where you can record entry fees, credits, and debits to track the financial health of the trial weekend.
• Create Exhibitor Catalogs, ringside run order sheets, and jump height sheets.
• Record move-ups or transfers from one class to another.
• Assign judges to classes.
• Assign test order for those classes and levels that have different orders of tests.
• Create a Trial Recap of trial data after the conclusion of the trial.

What the Obedience Trial Manager will not do:

• It will not run as an executable (.exe) file. You must have Microsoft Excel (no older than version 2013) and Microsoft Word already installed.
• Assign traditional armband numbers. However, CDSP rules allow for using the CDSP number as an armband number.
• Track High in Trial and High Combined. You need to manage that manually.

You will also need to complete CDSP's trial wrap-up paperwork, available in fillable PDF forms from the CDSP website.
