Update: Understanding Deductions Part 1 – Webinar & Learning Module Release

NASDA competitions reward precision, teamwork, and efficiency in scent work. However, point deductions are an essential part of judging to ensure fairness and maintain competitive standards. This learning module will cover three primary areas where point deductions commonly occur: Disruption of Search Area, Slow to Respond, and Boundaries.

The Understanding Deductions Part 1: Recorded Webinar with Q&A has been rescheduled to Friday, March 21, 2025 to allow for additional content updates. Originally set for release on March 17, we have received several insightful exhibitor questions after the submission deadline, and we want to ensure they are addressed in both the learning module and recorded webinar.

This session will cover:
Disruption of the Search Area
Slow to Respond
Boundaries

We appreciate your patience as we work to make this learning module as comprehensive as possible. Stay tuned for the updated release in the Exhibitor Resource Guide on March 21!
