The AKC has announced new Rally program enhancements that introduce the long awaited Rally Championship (RACH). No formal advisory committee process was followed nor was a feedback period provided for Rally exhibitors. The RACH title's point requirements are estimated to cost exhibitors $8,000* in entry fees. We are asking for an immediate revision of the RACH point schedule and eliminating or reducing the triple qualifying score requirement.

**{the following calculations assume 1 point in Excellent and/or Masters per entry} at current fees, the required 20 triple Q's are $1360 ($28+$20+$20 = $68 x 20 =$1360). Assuming earning 20 points from Masters, another 180 points are required from that class. Assuming also 20 points from Excellent while doing your triple Q's, you can now earn a max of another 80 from that class. 80 double entries (80 x $48= $3840). Now you just need 100 more points from Masters, (100 x $28 = $2800). Total: ($1360 + $3840 + $2800 = $8000)
