Can anyone explain NADAC to me?

I want Summer to jump 4". What is the difference with skilled and proficient?

Is her division veteran? Or is that indicating a veteran handler?

So confused.

Here's what I'm looking at:

PLEASE INDICATE THE JUMP HEIGHT YOU ACTUALLY WANT YOUR DOG TO JUMP
Proficient Standard Division jump: 8 12 16 20 20+ PROFICIENT
Proficient Vet/JH/VH jump: 4 8 12 16 16 PROFICIENT
Skilled Standard Division jump: 4 8 12 16 (no 20 inch option) SKILLED
Skilled Vet/JH/VH jump: 4 4 8 12 SKILLED

^^^ Which am I? She's 9.5 inches and 10.

Also this:

Please write in your:
Level = Novice, Open or Elite
Division = Standard, Veteran/Jr. Handler (only applies to classes with jumps) or Veteran Handler
Class Level Division Fri. Sat. Sun. Total Runs
Regular 1 1 1

^^^ is that correct?

Profic Vet 4", Novice.

Ok that's what I thought.

So I'd circle 4" prof/vet and then under class I'd put novice and division I'd put veteran?

what is skilled vs proficient though?

 

[Laurelin]

Ok so what I'm gathering is that's like championship and performance, right?

Since Summer is would jump 8" normally, I guess it doesn't matter if she runs skilled vs veterans because she can only be bumped down once to the lowest height possible, which is 4" right? But if I had an old 16" dog then it could be bumped down twice to 12.

Darn short dogs.

Correct. I believe skilled you get some additional time, and/or dont necessarily have to be a vet to move down a height.

I think I'm getting it. All these rulebooks are confusing. Finally figure out one then cna't figure out the others. May do jumpers and touch n go...
