About the Form Design and Use

The PLTA Board of Directors and Pack Trial Certifiers are committed to making data collection and reporting as efficient as possible. To that end, revisions have been made to the layout of existing forms and new forms have been added. It is imperative that information be recorded in a clear manner so that it can be easily deciphered by our (volunteer) secretary fo entry into the database, as well as referred to over time. Questions frequently come up years after a pack trial as to what actually happened. These forms help keep that information clear.

The forms have been designed to work in groups. There is a set that is required for each event, a set for each trial, a set used by each participant and so forth. This allows the forms to be sorted and tracked most efficiently. If you have questions or comments about the design, content or use of the forms please contact the PLTA data manager at data@packllama.org.

The following forms are used for PLTA pack trials:
