Trial Application

The trial application is moving to Secreterrier on November 5, 2026. From then on, clubs will apply for trial dates on Secreterrier and pay the application fee of $25 per trial day there when they apply. Until then, keep using this form; applications sent before November 5 will be reviewed as usual.

This application automatically checks your dates against the corresponding calendar, scheduled Happy Ratters events within 150 driving miles, and any pending applications, and will flag any potential conflicts. You can apply either way — every application is reviewed. More on hosting →

Reserve your trial dates here. Once approved, you'll create the trial on Secreterrier.
