Unless specifically designated by UKC as a National Level Field Trial, each field trial shall be licensed as a Local Level Field Trial.

A. National Level Field Trials. UKC shall be responsible for organizing and conducting National Level Field Trials. UKC will separately establish and publish applicable supplemental Rules, Regulations and Procedures for qualifying to participate in National Level Field Trials. In conjunction with and with authorization from UKC, UKC designated parent breed clubs may sponsor, organize and conduct UKC licensed National Level Specialty Field Trials for a particular breed. Such breed club National Level Specialty Field Trials will not exceed two annual field trials of each type (W or L). Such National Level Trials may be run solo, braces or both as the sponsoring club may designate pursuant to these rules.

B. Local Level Field Trials. UKC approved pointing dog clubs may be licensed to sponsor, organize and conduct Local Level Field Trials. The sponsoring club may conduct four (4) field trials maximum per year at the Local Level; two of each type (W or L). Residents of Canada may participate in the nearest Local as designated by UKC. Local level field trials may be run solo, braces or both as the sponsoring club shall designate pursuant to these rules.
