What's New

The photographer directory and every photographer's page are now open to everyone. Browse by state or sport, see who travels where, and share a photographer's page with anyone.

Open the Photographers tile on any event and you get a map centered on your venue with every photographer who covers that area, based on how far each one travels and where they'll be on your dates. Message them about the event, then assign them with one click. Photographers can also ask to cover your event, and you approve or decline from the same place.

Signing in now takes you straight to your Events, and a new Find Events tab shows upcoming events ranked from your home base, with the ones inside your travel radius first. Message the club, or ask to cover an event and the club confirms it. Once you're confirmed, add the link to your photo gallery yourself and it appears on the event page.

Each row on Entries & Payments now has a history button showing everything that happened to that dog at your event: registration, payments, emails we sent them, messages, and any notes you add. Notes stay even if the dog is later removed, so you always have a record of what was said and when.

Every event now has a QR code that opens its registration page, plus a printable table sign to set out at the venue. Competitors scan it with their phone and enter on the spot.

From your Events tab you can download the dog roster for an event you're covering, whole event or one run at a time in running order, ready to import into Photo Mechanic, Cullwise and similar tools. The club can download the same file from their side.

A dog waiting for a spot has nothing to pay and nothing to check in, so it no longer appears on Entries & Payments with a balance owing. A note above the table tells you how many dogs are waiting and takes you to each run's waitlist. The moment you move a dog in, it shows up on the sheet with what it owes.

Same platform, same team, same accounts, dogs, events and results. We have a new name, a new logo and a new web address, k9eventshq.com. Links to the old address keep working and send you to the same page, and mail to the old support address still reaches us. Nothing about how you use the site has changed.

Events don't have to be competitions. You can now set up a seminar or clinic and sell seats to it the same way you take entries: people sign up from the event page, pay online if you take payments, and check in on the day. There is nothing to score, so the day-of screens show only who is coming and who has paid.

Any event can now offer a reduced price for a customer's second and later dogs, and you can create coupon codes for a percentage or a dollar amount off, with an optional limit on how many times each code can be used and an expiration date. Both are set from Entries & Payments, and what a club is owed always matches what was actually charged.

The confirm screen now shows the real total for your cart, including any second-dog price the club offers, and has a box for a coupon code. If a code brings the total to zero, your dogs are entered without going through checkout at all.

An event with real scores in it can no longer be deleted with one click. The delete dialog tells you how many dogs have results, points you to Cancel the event instead, and asks you to type the event's name before anything is removed. If an event is deleted by mistake, the whole thing, including runs, entries and scores, can be brought back.

Not every event needs a sanctioning body. When you set up an event you can now choose Club Only, named for your club, for fun days, practice days and club competitions. It scores and divides dogs by UKC rules so everyone already knows how it works, nothing is reported to UKC, and competitors don't need a UKC number to enter. If your club needs something custom built, get in touch.

Entering several dogs now costs you one trip through checkout and one charge on your card, instead of a separate charge per dog. Your account credits that payment to every dog it covered, so nothing shows as still owing after you've settled up.

Signing several dogs up for the same event is now a single page: pick the runs for each dog, see what it all comes to, and check out once. It tells you up front which of your dogs are eligible for what, so you don't pick a run only to be turned away at the end.

When a run fills up, the dogs waiting on it now show as a Waitlist button right next to that run's registered count, so you can see who's waiting and move someone in without digging through settings.

You can now set the sports your club runs from your own Club Profile, and pick them when you first register your club. They show as badges on your club page and in the club directory.

The Dogs Entered number on an event page now counts every dog entered across the whole event. It used to show only the busiest single splash, so a well-attended event could look smaller than it was.

Everything for one event (entries, scoring, check-in, closing it out) now lives on one screen instead of three that didn't know about each other, and Close Event is in one place rather than four. Every screen has its own web address, so Refresh and your browser's Back button behave the way you'd expect instead of throwing away what you were doing.

Tables across the portal now share one look, and scratched and already-scored dogs are legible in Sun Mode instead of washing out in bright light. Score entry got its share too: tabbing moves through the boxes in the order you actually score them, the row you're on is clearly marked, and clearing a score sticks.

A mock event now behaves like the real thing for your crew: the live strip, running order, big-screen board and finals bubble all work on it, clearly marked MOCK and invisible to everyone outside your club. You can rehearse a full run day before you run one.

K9 Stats HQ is our companion platform for dog record keeping, where your dog's titles, career milestones, and stats will live. It's being built right now and isn't open yet, so there's nothing for you to do at the moment. K9 Events HQ stays focused on running events and recording results, and once K9 Stats HQ opens, your results here will feed into it automatically and you'll be able to connect each of your dogs. We'll say so here the moment it's ready.

While an event is still a draft, you can open its page and see exactly what competitors will see, with a banner reminding you that nobody outside your club can. Cancelled events work the same way, so you can check what's showing after you call one off.

You can now add a map or photo of your site to an event, where the pool sits, where to unload, where to park. It appears with your location notes on the event page, and competitors can tap it to open it full size on their phone at the gate.

The event description now takes headings, larger or smaller text, and alignment, so a schedule or an important notice can stand out instead of disappearing into a wall of the same-sized text.

While an event is running, a red strip across the top of every page shows what's live right now, with a tap straight through to the running order, scoreboard, finals bubble, and the big-screen board.

When rain or lightning stops the action, the crew can put the event on hold in one tap. Everyone following along, at the pool or from home, immediately sees that the event is paused instead of wondering why nothing is moving.

If you help run several clubs, they now all live under a single login, with a switcher to move between them. Each club is reviewed on its own before it goes live.

The Broadcast board now warms up with a competitor showcase in the hours before the first dog jumps, shows each dog's earlier jumps as it steps to the dock, keeps scratched dogs in their place in the order, and puts a Super V or Fetch It round on screen the moment the host starts it.

When a dog scratches or an entry is removed, the running order closes up behind it instead of leaving a hole, so the numbers you see at the pool match the sheet.

Adding a run at check-in no longer wipes out the record of what you already paid, so nobody gets asked to pay twice for a splash they settled up on.

If a club renames an event, links you already saved or shared still land on the right page.

Every club runs its full 2026 season on K9 Events HQ at no cost, with the whole feature set included.

Competitor accounts are permanently free. No subscription, no per-dog fee, no paid tier: every feature on your side of the platform is included.

Get a notification the moment your running order is set, showing your spot in line and the two dogs ahead of you, plus an alert when your final scores are posted. Works on your phone, tablet, computer, or watch.

Mark dogs in or out for finals in one tap. When someone can't compete, the next dog off the bubble automatically takes the spot.

Personal-best and finals placements now stand out at a glance on your dog's page.

Your dog now shows your handler's name across the platform, on entries, running orders, and the live boards.

Events that get called off no longer sit on the calendar looking like they're still happening.

A high-contrast display mode that stays readable outdoors in bright sun, so you can check scores and running orders at the venue.
