  • Points may be gained at any or all certified tests at Northern Newfoundland Club events.
  • A minimum of 3 points must be gained from water working tests.
  • Where a dog has been entered in more than one Section in one day, only the points from the highest test passed that day will qualify for the trophy. eg: where a dog has entered B, C, D & E in one test weekend, passes B & E on one day and C & D on the other day only the points for E from the first day and D from the second day will count towards the trophy.
  • The winner of the trophy will be announced and presented at the Northern Newfoundland Club’s Christmas Dinner – should you be unable to attend the dinner a nominee can be appointed to accept the trophy.
  • The rules and regulations for awarding the Elmo Trophy are determined by the Northern Newfoundland Club Working Sub-Committee and may be amended at any time. Any such amendment will be published in the Northern Newfoundland Club’s news letter, NewfLetter and here on this web site.
