Setting Up a Search and Video Submission Guidelines

A. Video Submission Requirements

Each submission must include:
✔ Course walkthrough – Show the start line, hide location, and any distractor placement.
✔ Shed type verification – Verbal and visual confirmation of the antler.
✔ Run video – A continuous recording showing start line behavior, search, and final retrieve.

✅ Videos must be continuous – The walkthrough, retrieving the dog, and running the search should be one uninterrupted clip.
✅ Videos should be uploaded to YouTube or Vimeo and submitted via the NASDA dashboard.

B. Search Area and Hide Placement Rules

✔ Search areas must mimic natural hunting terrain as much as possible.
✔ The shed must be thrown into the search area rather than placed to prevent scent trails.
✔ The start line must be clearly marked, and the shed must be located at least five feet away.
