Rule committee was formed to review the issue of handlers entering TSDA trials, especially novice class, from other venue, (e.g.: AKC, ASCA, AHBA, etc). The committee members were; Red Oliver, Francis Raley, Ron Burkey, Joy Hall, Geri Abrahms, Catherine Laria, Sheryl McDonald, Terri Nicolau, Jo Anne Noble, Chairperson.

After reviewing the rules of the different herding venues, they propose the current change to the novice rule (underlined):

III. CLASS DEFINITIONS
