What's New

Stay up to date with the latest features, improvements, and fixes on Sport Dog Hub.

June 9, 2026
fix SRS Distance Finals Finish in the Right Order
At SRS distance finals, tied scores are now broken correctly and the results are sorted by placement, so the finishing order shown on the board and the paperwork matches who actually placed where.
fix Finalize Placements Once Every Run Is Locked
Fixed an issue where the Finalize Placements step could stay blocked even after all of an event's runs were locked. Once every run is locked, club owners can finalize placements as expected.
June 8, 2026
improvement Event Photographers Show Their Business Name
On an event's photography section, a photographer's business name now appears right beneath their name, so it's clear which studio is covering the event.
June 7, 2026
fix Each Discipline Offers Only the Classes It Uses
Fixed an issue where the Silver and Tyke classes could show up when registering for disciplines that don't use them — Raider Run, Super V and Fetch It — which could let a dog sign up in a class that doesn't apply. Each discipline now offers only the classes it actually uses.
fix Finals Alternates No Longer Hold Up Locking a Run
Fixed a problem where finals alternates — bench dogs that don't have scores by design — could block a club from verifying and locking a run. Alternates are now correctly left out of that check, so a finished run locks without a phantom 'unscored dog' warning.
June 6, 2026
feature A Welcome Screen Before the First Dog Jumps
When a dock diving event goes live on its first day, its Broadcast board now opens with a welcome screen until the first dog hits the dock. It shows when the first discipline is set to begin, how many dogs are entered and how that breaks down by discipline, and a rotating spotlight that introduces every entered dog by name — a great thing to put up on the big screen as competitors and spectators arrive. The moment scoring starts, it switches over to the live results on its own.
improvement Password Reset Links That Last Longer
Password reset links now stay valid for a full 24 hours instead of expiring after one hour, so there's plenty of time to follow the link from your email. And if a link has already expired or been used, the message you see now explains exactly what happened and how to request a fresh one.
fix Score Keepers Can Start a Run
If your club has a score keeper running the live scoreboard, they can now press 'Begin' to start a run themselves — the same way they already enter scores and lock results. Starting a run no longer has to be done by the club owner.
fix Fetch It and Super V Scoreboards Open Cleanly After You Begin
Fixed an issue where pressing 'Begin' on a Fetch It or Super V run could leave the scoreboard stuck on the setup screen with the 'Begin' button still showing — most often before the first dog was scored, or for a second person following the same run on another device. Once a run is begun, the scoring board now opens correctly for everyone working the event.
feature Scratch a Dog From Any Run
The per-run Scratch button is now available on every discipline and for every organization — not just Super V, finals and Shed Hunt. Whatever your dog is entered in, club owners can scratch it from a single run while keeping the entry and payment on the books, and it drops off the running order automatically.
fix Broadcast Board Stays Full Between Runs
Between runs at Super V and Raider Run events, the Broadcast board could shrink into a corner or sit empty. It now fills the screen the way it should, keeps the current standings on screen instead of a blank ladder, and falls back to the event's main discipline — so there's always something to watch while the next run is being set up.
fix Fetch It Placements Skip Dogs That Didn't Finish
At Fetch It events, a dog that didn't finish could take a placement away from dogs that actually posted a score — the Master division might show the wrong dog at 2nd or 3rd. Dogs that didn't finish are now correctly left out of the placements.
June 4, 2026
feature Arrange Your Photos by Dragging Them
You can now set the exact order of your photos by dragging them into place. On your dog's photo gallery — and on club and photographer galleries too — grab any photo and drag it to a new spot, with your first photo acting as the lead image. The new order saves on its own, so it's easy to put your favorite shot up front.
feature Close Out Your Event When You're Ready
Club owners now decide when an event wraps up. Events no longer close themselves automatically — once you've verified all your scores, you'll find a Close Event button right inside the Edit Event window. If anything is still holding the event open, the page now tells you exactly what's left to do so there's no guessing.
improvement More Accurate UKC Points Check Import
Bringing in your dog's UKC Points Check got more accurate. It now reads UKC's newest title codes and correctly captures all of your Vertical and Fetch It results, automatically fills in the date your record is current through, and uses clearer wording about which scores it's pulling in.
improvement Sharper UKC Judges Book and Trial Report
The UKC Judges Book and Trial Report got a round of accuracy fixes for host clubs. The Judges Book now lists only dogs with an actual result for each run, leaves out scratched dogs, and shows the owner's name next to any dog that doesn't have a UKC number yet. The final Trial Report and Judges Book are also saved to your Event Documents automatically, so the official paperwork is always on file.
improvement Clearer Crown Invites for SRS Organizers
The SRS Crown Invites list is clearer about who's already in. Placers who were invited from an earlier event now show as an 'Already In' row, and when a slot rolls down to a lower-placing dog, every dog that blocked the slot is shown — with duplicate rows cleaned up — so the full picture is visible before invitations go out.
improvement Photographers Can Update Their Login Email
Photographers can now change the email address they sign in with, right from the Settings tab on their dashboard.
fix Registration Windows No Longer Close Early
Fixed a problem where an event's registration window could close earlier than it should — sometimes a full day early, or before the listed closing time. Registration now stays open through the correct date and time in the event's local time zone.
June 3, 2026
improvement Events Show Every Sanctioning Organization
Some events are sanctioned by more than one organization at the same time — for example, an SRS event that also runs under UKC. Event cards and event pages now show a badge for every organization the event is sanctioned by, instead of just the main one, so it's clear at a glance which titles and points are on the line.
improvement Photographer Home Base Shows City and State
Photographer profiles now show the photographer's city and state right above their Home Base map, so you can see where they're based at a glance without studying the map.
June 2, 2026
improvement Set One Handler Across a Whole Discipline at Once
If your dog runs every Splash with the same handler, you no longer have to set it run by run. Pick the handler on one run and tap 'Apply to all' to put that same person on every run in that discipline in a single step. You can still change any individual run afterward if a different handler is taking one.
fix Cleaner Registration Notification Emails
Fixed a stray bit of placeholder text that was showing up at the bottom of the 'New Registration' email club owners receive. The footer now reads properly.
June 1, 2026
feature Change Your Dog's Handler After You Register
Need someone else to run your dog in a particular run? You can now change the handler on a run after you've already registered — no need to undo and redo your entry. Just open the run on your registration and pick the handler that's taking it.
May 30, 2026
feature Scratch a Dog at Super V Events
At SRS Super V events, club owners can now scratch a dog from a run while keeping its entry and payment on the books, rather than removing it outright. Scratched dogs drop off the running order automatically, and the entry stays on record so the paperwork and payments still line up.
feature Import Your Dog's UKC Points Check
Pulling in your dog's official UKC dock diving record is available to everyone again. From your dog's profile you can import its UKC Points Check so its titles and official numbers show up on Sport Dog Hub.
improvement Super V Bar Height Isn't Held Up by No-Shows
At Super V events, dogs that pre-registered but don't show no longer hold the bar at a height nobody's jumping. The height now follows the dogs actually competing, so the round moves at the right pace.
improvement Broadcast 'Up Next' Follows the Schedule Clock
On the Broadcast Center, the 'Up Next' time between disciplines now reflects the scheduled start time rather than the order rows happen to be in, so the countdown to the next discipline is accurate.
improvement Event Average Rounds to a Whole Inch
The Broadcast Center now shows a clean Event Average like 16' rather than 16' 1.3", so the number on the board is easy to read at a glance.
improvement Broadcast Center Is Easier to Read on a TV in Bright Sun
The Broadcast Center got a color and contrast tune-up so it holds up much better on a TV outdoors in direct sunlight. Text is brighter, the Up Now / On Deck / In the Hole highlights are bolder, and there's less on-screen glare — so everyone poolside can read the running order, scoreboard and standings at a glance, even on a sunny day.
improvement Dog Photos Show in Full on the Broadcast Center
The spotlight on the dog currently on the dock now shows each photo in full, top to bottom. Tall, portrait-style photos were getting their tops and bottoms cropped; now the whole picture displays, framed cleanly against a black background, so you always see the full dog.
improvement Broadcast Running Order Names the Current Discipline
The Running Order panel on the Broadcast Center now shows which discipline and run it's listing — like 'Super V,' 'Fetch It' or 'Super Fly Splash 4' — right in the header, so it's always clear what you're watching as an event moves between disciplines.
May 29, 2026
feature Scratch a Dog From an Event
When a competitor lets you know they can't make it, club owners can now scratch their dog from the whole event in one step from the Registration & Payment tab, instead of removing it entirely. Scratching is reversible, asks for a quick reason, and lets you note whether you issued a refund. Scratched dogs drop off the running order automatically, and the competitor sees a 'Scratched' badge on the dog in their My Events.
May 27, 2026
feature Watch Events Live with the New Broadcast Center
Introducing the Broadcast Center — a single full-screen view that turns any live event into a show. Put it up on a TV at the pool or watch from home and you get everything at once: the running order showing who's Up Now, On Deck and In the Hole; a live scoreboard that updates the moment a score is posted; the Bubble standings; and a spotlight on the dog currently on the dock with their photo, age, breed and personal best. It works for both UKC and SRS dock diving — Distance, Vertical, Fetch It and Raider Run (shown as Super Fly and Super V at SRS events) — and switches automatically as the event moves between disciplines, with each one labeled the way the host's organization names it. Between runs it keeps the current standings on screen along with the next discipline's expected start time. Everything updates on its own — no refreshing and no jumping between pages. It's free for anyone to watch: on any live event, tap Broadcast in the red LIVE bar at the top of the site.
improvement Broadcast Center Works for UKC Events Too
The Broadcast Center now runs UKC dock diving events as well as SRS. Vertical and Fetch It get the full treatment — a live running order with who's up next, standings, and a ladder showing who's still in at each height (Vertical) or distance (Fetch It) — and every discipline is labeled with the name the hosting organization uses.
improvement Add Your Dog's Personal Bests for Every Discipline
You can now record your dog's all-time personal best for each dock diving discipline — Distance, Vertical, Fetch It and Raider Run — right on the dog's profile. When your dog is on the dock during a live event, their personal best appears on the Broadcast Center spotlight for everyone watching.
improvement Full-Screen Mode for the Broadcast Center
The Broadcast Center now has a full-screen button in the top corner — perfect for putting an event up on a TV at the pool. One tap fills the whole screen with the board, hiding the tabs, address bar and everything else so all anyone sees is the show. Tap it again (or press Esc) to come back out. You can also press the F key to toggle it.
May 22, 2026
improvement Names No Longer Shout in ALL CAPS
If you type your name, your dog's name, or a junior handler's name in all capitals — like JOHN or REX — it now gets tidied up to normal capitalization (John, Rex) when you save, so names read cleanly everywhere on the site. Names with intentional capitalization like McDonald or LeClere are left exactly as you typed them.
May 20, 2026
fix Event Schedules Name the Discipline Instead of 'Competition 1'
On an event's schedule, a single Super V competition was showing up as the generic 'Competition 1' instead of just 'Super V.' UKC Fetch It, Vertical and Raider Run had the same problem. The schedule now uses each discipline's real name — so you see 'Super V,' 'Fetch It' or 'Raider Run' at a glance — and drops the unnecessary '1' from a single-competition Super V.
fix Fetch It Registration Labeled Correctly
When registering for a Fetch It event, the section was mistakenly titled 'Dock Diving (Splashes)' with entry chips reading 'Splash 1.' It now correctly reads 'Fetch It' throughout, so it's clear what you're signing up for.
fix Starting Distance Stays With the Right Dog
On the registration screen, a starting distance you typed for one dog could carry over and show up on the next dog when you switched between them. Each dog's starting distance now stays with that dog, so what you enter is exactly what gets saved.
fix Raider Run and Shed Hunt Scores Show the Right Units
On your dashboard's Recent Results panel and in the community activity feed, Raider Run times were being displayed as if they were dock-jumping distances — a 40.84-second run showed up as '3'5"' with no Raider Run label. Shed Hunt times were similarly being rendered as a 'sheds' count. Both now display correctly: Raider Run as seconds (e.g. 40.840s), Shed Hunt as minutes:seconds (e.g. 8:01.340), each with its own colored badge. The scores in the system were always correct — only the display was off, and it's now fixed for all 30 Raider Run and 184 Shed Hunt entries on the site.
improvement Dog Stats Match the Discipline You're Viewing
On your dog's detail card, the Average tile, Score Trend chart, Score Distribution histogram, Year-over-Year chart and Competition Log now format scores using the units of whichever discipline you have selected. Click the Raider Run pill and the chart shows seconds; click Distance and it shows feet/inches. The distribution histogram also switches between foot-wide buckets and second-wide buckets so time-based disciplines actually have a sensible shape.
improvement Cleaner Recent Results Layout
Score and date in the Recent Results panel no longer wrap onto two lines when the event name is long — '17' 6"' stays as '17' 6"' instead of becoming '17'' on one line and '6"' on the next, and '2026-05-17' stays whole. The event name now wraps instead, which is where wrapping actually makes sense.
May 19, 2026
fix DNF Dogs No Longer Appear on the Rankings
Dogs that didn't clear their starting height in Super V or Fetch It were quietly showing up on the Rankings page with a number that looked like a real cleared distance. They're now correctly marked DNF and dropped from the leaderboard, so the Rankings only list dogs that actually posted a score.
improvement Tidier Rankings Layout
Dog names on the Rankings page now line up perfectly down the column, whether the dog has an uploaded photo or the default paw icon. No more uneven spacing between rows.
fix Printed Results Now Match the Live Scoreboard
The Print Results sheet you pull at the end of a run now mirrors the live scoreboard and scoring grid exactly. Dogs in finals stay in the division they qualified in (no more accidentally dropping into a lower division when the finals jump comes up short), Super V sheets show Score, Misses and Points — with DNF called out where it belongs — and dogs that scratched on every jump (NJ) still appear on the sheet: slotted into the division they qualified in for finals, or grouped under a 'No Score' header for qualifying runs, so nobody's missing from the printout.
fix Crown Invites Land in the Right Division
SRS Crown Championship invitations now show the exact division the dog placed in at the qualifying event — matching the finals results board. If a dog's finals jump came in below its qualifying division, the invite could previously list a lower division than the one the dog actually competed in. That's been straightened out across every Crown invite.
improvement Friendlier Web Addresses for Clubs and Dogs
Club and dog profile pages now have readable web addresses with the name right in them — like sportdoghub.io/clubs/catskill-mountain-k9-sports or sportdoghub.io/dogs/bella — instead of a string of numbers. They're easier to recognize, look much nicer when posted to social media or sent in a message, and every link shared before still works and goes straight to the right page.
improvement Sharper Link Previews When You Share
Sharing a Sport Dog Hub link — in a text, on social, or in a group chat — now shows a bold, polished preview card instead of a plain generic image. Share a dog and it features the dog's photo, name and breed; share an event and it shows the event's photo with the host club, location and date; clubs and the main site get the same treatment. If a dog or event doesn't have its own photo yet, the card falls back to a clean branded image, so every link looks great.
feature More Than One Owner Per Club
A club can now have several owners who each fully manage the club and its events. When signing up as a club owner, you can pick an existing club to help run instead of only creating a new one — handy when a club has more than one organizer. New owners are confirmed before they get access, and existing owners keep everything they had.
improvement Crown Invites — One Table Per Discipline, Every Column Sortable
The SRS Crown Invites list now splits each event's invitees into separate Distance, Vertical and Raider Run tables, so the organizer sees each discipline's top finishers cleanly instead of scrolling a single mixed list. Every column — Dog, Owner, Division, Class, Placement, Source, Status, Sent and Responded — is click-to-sort with an arrow indicator, and each table sorts on its own.
improvement Crown Invites Show Why a Slot Rolled Down
When a Crown invitation rolls down to a 4th- or 5th-place dog because someone in the top three was already invited from an earlier event, the list now displays a clearly-marked context row above the roll-down showing exactly which dog blocked the slot — their name, dog ID, their actual placement at the event being viewed, and where their earlier invite came from. The full chain is visible at a glance before any invites go out.
May 18, 2026
feature Preview Your Running Order Before Going Live
Clubs running a test event now get a clean Running Order sheet that mirrors the live scoring board exactly — who's Up Now, On Deck and In the Hole, the current height, each dog's last attempt and misses for height-based disciplines like Super V and Vertical. It updates as you score and is fully readable on a phone, so you can confirm the order is right before the real event starts.
improvement One Registration Confirmation Email, Not a Pile
When you register for an event, you now get a single confirmation email summarizing everything you signed up for, instead of a separate email for each run. Less inbox clutter, all the details in one place.
improvement Cleaner Finals Judge's Sheet
The printable finals judge's sheet now leaves off scratched dogs and alternates, so the judge sees only the dogs actually competing in the finals.
May 17, 2026
improvement Cleaner Printable Results
Printable per-splash results now show each jump (Jump 1, Jump 2) and the Best score, just like the judge's sheet. Runs that aren't finalized yet show provisional placements, the unneeded rank column has been removed, and a bug that left the Best column blank is fixed.
improvement Scoreboard Reads Right for Every Event Type
Scoreboard tabs are now labeled correctly for events with more than one discipline, the Jump 3 column is hidden when an event only uses two jumps per run, and runs or hunts that haven't started yet show a clearer 'not yet scored' message instead of looking empty.
improvement Running Order Goes Live When Scoring Starts
The public running order now appears the moment the club presses Begin to start scoring, rather than at the scheduled start time — so it shows up exactly when the action does. The live running order also no longer carries an unofficial-scores note, since that page doesn't show scores.
fix Closer Bubble Tie-Breaks
When two dogs post the same best score, the bubble now breaks the tie by the next-biggest jump, so placements come out more accurately.
fix Fetch It Scoreboard & Running Order
Fixed the Fetch It scoreboard and running order so scores and the running order display correctly throughout the event.
fix UKC Dock Diving Registration Divisions
Fixed an issue where Silver/Tyke could appear for UKC dock diving events that don't use those divisions, which could let dogs register in the wrong division.
improvement More UKC Obedience Events in the Event Finder
UKC events that include obedience alongside other activities — like rally or conformation — now show up when you filter the Event Finder by Obedience. A lot more obedience events are now findable.
improvement Event Finder Now Shows the Full Schedule, Months Ahead
The Event Finder previously only listed events a couple of months out, so anything later in the year — or next year — was missing. It now shows the complete upcoming schedule, often a year or more in advance, so you can plan your season and find far-off events while there's still time to enter. Thousands more events are now listed.
May 16, 2026
feature Day-of (On-Site) Registration
Clubs can now accept walk-up registrations on event day. Turn it on for an event and competitors who didn't pre-register can still be entered on-site, with the running order updating to include them. Events that don't use it keep working exactly as before.
improvement UpDog Teams Has Its Own Tab
Your UpDog Teams and Bite Club summary now live in a dedicated UpDog tab on your account, instead of being mixed in elsewhere. The tab only appears once you have a UpDog Team Number on file, so it stays out of the way until it's relevant.
improvement See Exactly Which Runs Each Dog Is Entered In
Your event registrations now show a per-run 'Entered In' breakdown, so you can confirm at a glance which classes and runs each dog is signed up for.
fix Running Order Stays Private Until the Event Starts
The live running order no longer publishes before an event actually begins, so competitors don't see a draft order while clubs are still finalizing entries.
fix LIVE Bar Scoreboard Link Lands on the Right Tab
Clicking Scoreboard from the LIVE bar now opens straight to the scoring view instead of dropping you on the event Overview tab. Old bookmarked links work too.
fix Shed Hunt Options Hidden for Non-Shed UKC Events
The event edit screen no longer shows Shed Hunt options for UKC events that aren't shed-hunt events — only shed events see them.
May 15, 2026
improvement Registration Open/Closed at a Glance
Club owners now see a Reg Open or Reg Closed badge right next to each event's status in the Upcoming Events list, so you can tell whether competitors can still sign up without opening the event.
improvement Dogs With No Runs Flagged at Check-In
The registration page now flags any dog that isn't entered in a run, so a dog that's registered but not in the running order is obvious at a glance instead of looking like a count error.
fix Event Finder No Longer Hides Events Under Sport Filters
Some events — like UKC dock diving weekends — could disappear from the Event Finder when you filtered by their organization. They now stay put so you see every event for the sport and org you're browsing.
May 14, 2026
improvement Smarter Default Registration Close Time
When creating an event, the registration close time now pre-fills to 11:59 PM so clubs don't have to guess — registration stays open through the end of the day you pick. You can still change it to any time you like.
May 13, 2026
feature Bulk Send for Crown Invites
The SRS organizer can now select multiple pending Crown invites and send them in one shot, instead of clicking Send on each row individually — handy for blasting out a freshly-added stack of Manual or Prior invites.
improvement Crown Invites Reach Handlers Who Haven't Signed Up Yet
When a Crown invite is created for a dog whose owner doesn't have a Sport Dog Hub account yet, the invite email now goes directly to the dog's email on file — no need to wait for the handler to sign up before they hear about it.
improvement Polished Email From Line
Emails from Sport Dog Hub now show as 'Sport Dog Hub <[email protected]>' in your inbox, instead of the bare email address — easier to spot at a glance.
improvement Crown Invites Per Dog, Per Discipline and Class
The SRS organizer can now send a separate Crown invite for each class a dog qualified in — invite a dog to Distance Open and Distance Mini independently, accept and pay for each on its own, and have the cap counts roll up correctly per discipline/class.
improvement Simpler Send-Invite Modal
Sending a Crown invite is now a one-screen job: the response deadline and email template pull from the season defaults, so the organizer doesn't have to fill them in for every dog. Edit the defaults once at the top of the page and every new invite follows along.
improvement Response Deadline With a Specific Time
Crown invite response deadlines now accept a date and time — set the deadline to 'May 30 at 5:00 PM' instead of just 'May 30,' and the saved date sticks correctly across reloads.
fix Cleaner Manual Add Invite Modal
The Add Manual Invite modal now hides the Class picker for disciplines that don't have multiple classes (Tyke, Vertical) — only Distance shows the Open/Mini choice.
fix Crown Invite Email Shows the Event Name
Crown invitation emails now always show the actual Crown event name in the subject and body, replacing a fallback that occasionally read 'Event: an SRS event.'
May 12, 2026
feature SRS Crown Championship Invitations
The Crown Championship is now invitation-only. The SRS organizer has a new Crown Invites tool to send personalized invitations to qualifying dogs, set per-discipline caps (Distance, Vertical, Tyke), track who has been invited, accepted, declined, or paid, and revoke or delete invites that are no longer needed. Once an invite goes out, the handler can review it on a dedicated invitation page and accept directly from there.
feature Personalized Crown Invite Emails
Crown invitation emails feature the SRS Crown Championship logo and your dog's profile photo, with a direct link to the official invite page so handlers can accept in one click. The invite page mirrors the email — same logo, same dog photo — for a polished, on-brand experience.
feature Crown Invites Tab on Your Account
Handlers with Crown invitations now see a Crown Invites tab on their account dashboard. Review every invite your dogs have received, see the status at a glance (Pending, Accepted, Declined, Paid), and jump straight to the official invite page to respond.
improvement Crown Registration Gate Across Every Sign-Up Path
Whether a dog is registered through self-sign-up, the staff Manual Add flow, batch registration, or payment-first checkout, the Crown invitation requirement is now enforced everywhere — no accidental Crown registrations slip through.
fix Manual Crown Invite — Tyke Handler Name + Dog Picker
Manually creating a Crown invite for a Tyke now prompts for the youth handler's name (so the invite reads correctly), and the dog picker reliably surfaces all eligible dogs without false empties.
fix Crown Invites for Handlers Who Haven't Joined Yet
A handler whose dog earned a Crown invite but who hasn't created a Sport Dog Hub account yet won't miss out — the invite is prepped against their email and waits patiently. The moment they sign up, the invite drops into their Crown Invites tab ready to accept.
fix Cleaner Run Generation — No More Surprise Roll-Downs
Re-generating runs on an event no longer triggers over-eager roll-downs of placements that were already settled. Roll-downs now also stop at 6th place (matching the rulebook) and skip dogs whose division can't be determined, so the running order stays tidy.
fix Manual Add Modal — Search, Dropdowns, Season List
The staff Manual Add modal got a round of polish: dog search works again, the discipline / class / division dropdowns chain together correctly, the season dropdown no longer shows 2026 twice, the Division field is hidden for flat classes (Mini, Tyke) instead of showing a disabled placeholder, and previously-missed past closes are picked up properly.
May 10, 2026
feature Pay First, Register Once Payment Clears
For events that require entry-fee payment up front, your spot is now held until your Square checkout completes — no more half-finished registrations sitting on the roster while you finish paying.
feature Resume or Cancel an Unfinished Checkout
Started a checkout but closed the tab before paying? When you come back to the event page, you'll see a banner right next to Register Your Dogs with one-click Resume Checkout or Cancel Registration buttons — no need to start over. The banner stays in sync if you switch tabs or use the back button, so it always reflects the current state.
feature Unpaid Registration Reminder Email
If a checkout is left hanging, you'll now get a friendly reminder email with a one-click link to pick up right where you left off.
May 8, 2026
feature Rankings Moved Into the Sport Pages
Rankings now live right on the sport you care about — open Dock Diving and you'll see the standings below the hero, with tabs for Distance, Vertical, Fetch It, and Raider Run. Filter by organization, club, breed, or season, search for a dog or handler, and share the exact view you're looking at via the URL. The standalone Leaderboards page has been retired; everything happens where the sport lives.
improvement Stronger Privacy on Handler Names
Handler names in public rankings now display as 'First L.' for every row except your own dogs — the same view whether you're signed out, a competitor, a club owner, or an admin. Only you see your own full last name.
feature Event Finder Redesigned — Cards + Table
The Event Finder has a fresh look that fits the rest of Sport Dog Hub, with a brand-new Table view alongside the familiar Cards. Cards are the default for a quick visual browse; switch to Table when you want to see roughly three times as many events on screen for fast planning. Calendar and Map views are still there, and your layout choice sticks for next time you visit.
fix SRS Super V Placements by Division
Super V results now place dogs within their division — Nova, Pro, and Pro Elite — instead of one global ranking. Tie-breakers follow the SRS rulebook (division points, fewest misses, furthest first miss), and dogs that are still tied after all three share a placement to be settled by jump-off.
fix Correct Dates on System Notifications
System notifications in your inbox (entry confirmations, automatic reminders, and the like) were showing 'Invalid Date' on some rows. They now display the actual time the notice was sent — and existing messages have been corrected too, so your message history reads cleanly all the way back.
improvement Cluster Weekends Show Under Every Sport They Offer
All-breed kennel-club weekends that run multiple sports (Conformation + Rally + Weight Pull, etc.) now show up in the Event Finder when you filter by any one of those sports — not just the headliner. Each card lists every sport included so you can see at a glance what the weekend covers.
feature 'Multi-sport only' Filter in the Event Finder
New chip toggle that narrows the list to events that include two or more sports — handy if you're scouting weekends where you can run more than one sport with the same trip.
feature 'Sport Dog Hub only' Filter in the Event Finder
New chip toggle that narrows the list to events hosted on Sport Dog Hub by registered clubs — quickly spot the events you can register for directly here.
improvement 'Rankings Coming Soon' on Other Sport Pages
Sports that don't have Rankings built out yet now show a friendly 'Rankings Coming Soon' panel on their sport page, instead of an empty section.
improvement SRS Super V Judge Sheet — Full Ladder & Tie-Breakers
The SRS Super V judge sheet now prints the complete height ladder up through the top division, shows skipped heights as a solid block with a numeric legend, and includes the tie-breaker rules right on the sheet — judges have everything they need at a glance.
fix Closed Events Stay Closed When Edited
Editing a closed event no longer silently flips its status back to Draft — the event stays Closed unless you explicitly reopen it.
fix Read System Announcements No Longer Show as Unread
Archived system announcements that you'd already read were sneaking into the unread badge on the Messages nav — that's been corrected.
May 7, 2026
feature Print Results from a Locked Run
Once a run is locked, club owners get a Print Results button right on that run — clean placements ready to hand out without digging through paperwork menus.
feature Fetch-It Judge Sheet
UKC Dock Diving Fetch-It now prints a dedicated judge sheet with a grid layout, a page break per class, Open and Small Dog division headers, and tie-breaker rules printed right on the sheet.
feature Sport Tabs Match the Dog's Selected Sports
Each dog profile now shows a tab for every sport you've selected for that dog. Sports we haven't built yet show a friendly 'coming soon' panel, and rarely-used sports collapse into a 'More sports' dropdown so the tab bar stays tidy.
improvement UpDog Scoring Widgets in the Staff Entries Table
UpDog per-game scoring widgets now sit inline in the staff entries table — score a team without leaving the row. Wired through every UpDog game so the entry screen always matches the rulebook.
improvement UpDog Uses Disc-Dog Language
Lingering dock-diving terms have been swept out of the UpDog event flow — disc-dog events now read like disc-dog events from registration through scoring.
improvement Consolidated Shed-Hunt Score History
A dog's shed-hunt logs are now a single Score History table on the profile (collapsible to keep the page short), instead of being split across multiple panels.
fix Dock-Diving Jump Log No Longer Shows Shed Entries
The dock-diving qualifying jump log on a dog's profile now stays focused on jumps — shed-hunt entries that were sneaking in have been filtered out.
fix More Sports Dropdown Stays on the Right Tab
Clicking inside the More sports dropdown on a dog profile now switches tabs cleanly instead of scrolling the page back to the top.
fix UKC Dock Diving Divisions Match the Rulebook
Tightened the UKC Dock Diving division thresholds so a dog lands in exactly the division the UKC rulebook calls for.
feature SRS Silver Is Now a Per-Event Choice
Whether a dog runs SRS Silver is now picked per-event in the staff Registrations modal, instead of being a sticky setting on the dog. Same dog, different choice each weekend — no more editing the dog profile back and forth.

The staff Registrations modal now shows each dog's Starting Height (Vertical) or Starting Distance (Splash) right when you sign them up — so you can confirm the right level before locking in the entry.

The Add Score modal now offers a dropdown of known titles for the sport you're entering, and the title earned shows up directly on the dog's score history.

Add Score now has separate 'Add & Close' and 'Add More' buttons. Add More keeps you in the modal, blanks every field except Sport, and lets you bang out a stack of scores without re-picking the sport each time.
improvement Pass/Fail Only on Add Score
The Result dropdown on Add Score now offers Pass or Fail only — Q/NQ has been dropped to match the way scores are recorded everywhere else.
improvement Optional Time on Shed Hunt Scores
Adding a Shed Hunt score no longer requires a time — record just the Pass/Fail result when the time wasn't captured. The Result field now shows on the Shed Hunt Add Score form too.
improvement Manual Shed Hunt Scores Show on Dog Profiles
Manually-added Shed Hunt scores now appear in the dog profile alongside scores from events run on Sport Dog Hub — your dog's full hunt record lives in one place.
improvement Newest Results First

May 6, 2026

Manually-added UKC shed-hunt scores from outside trials now feed into Title Progress and the Class Breakdown on a dog's profile — your dog's full record counts toward the next title, not just the hunts run on Sport Dog Hub.
improvement Stats Update Before an Event Closes
Shed-hunt title progress and class breakdowns now reflect locked hunts the moment they're finalized, instead of waiting for the whole event to close.
feature UAD Scoring Widgets — Catch-It, Chase-It, Fetch-It
Score keepers now have dedicated UAD scoring widgets: Catch-It uses a four-score sum, Chase-It captures the fastest time, and Fetch-It runs through its elimination format. Entry screens match the rulebook for each discipline.
feature Scores Category in Event Documents
Club owners can now upload external score sheets and result documents as a new 'Scores' category in Event Documents — alongside judges' books, premiums, and entry forms.

Click any uploaded event document to rename it or move it to a different category — no need to re-upload to fix a typo or reshuffle the wrong category.
improvement Filter & Sort Event Documents
The Event Documents modal now has category filters and sortable columns, so finding a specific file in a long list is faster.

The Assign Judge dropdown now filters to judges qualified for the event's sport — UpDog Challenge judges show on UpDog events, UKC judges on UKC events, and shed-dog judges on shed hunts.
improvement UpDog Judge Sheets Match the Rulebook
UpDog judge sheets are now grouped by Level, Height, and Age divisions per the UpDog rulebook, instead of borrowing the dock-diving layout.
improvement Per-Team UpDog Judge Sheet
Disc-dog runs now print a per-team judge sheet tailored to UpDog scoring, replacing the old dock-style sheet that didn't fit the format.
feature Small→Tall / Tall→Small Running Order for UpDog
UpDog events can now run the order in either height direction with one click — match the running style your venue prefers.
improvement Streamlined Registration Tab
The staff Check-In tab is now called Registration, with the per-run sub-tabs and the separate Register Dog button removed. Every dog and every run sit on one tighter view.
improvement UpDog Uses Round / Rounds
UpDog event run views now say 'Round' and 'Rounds' instead of 'Splash,' matching disc-dog terminology throughout.
May 5, 2026

When adding a youth handler to a shed-hunt event, you can now pick which hunts they'll run across the day in a single step — handy when one youth handles on multiple dogs.
feature Run Picker in Youth Add Modal
The Youth Add modal now includes a run picker, so you can attach the youth handler to specific runs as you add them.
feature Dedicated Judge Fields for the Youth Class
UKC shed-hunt events now have dedicated judge fields for the Youth class, separate from Working and Champion, so each class shows the right judge on its paperwork.

fix Smarter Youth Age Display
Youth handler age now displays correctly even when the date of birth was entered in an unusual format.

Fixed a glitch where some buttons in the Youth picker weren't responding to taps, and tightened up an unreadable header in the modal.
May 4, 2026
feature Youth Class Is Now Handler-Centric

Club owners now have a Youth Handler section on the Registration tab to attach junior handlers to a shed-hunt event directly — no round-trip through the dog profile.

Staff-added Youth registrations now automatically link to the dog owner's existing junior handlers, so contact info and date of birth carry over without re-typing.

May 3, 2026

Add and manage your UpDog Team Numbers right from the account dashboard. Each handler/dog pairing gets its own UTN, and you'll need one on file to register for UpDog events.

Your account dashboard now shows a running UPDIF qualifying-points total across all your teams for the current year, plus the currently active (or next upcoming) Bite Club league session.
feature UpDog Tab on Dog Profiles

Score keepers and judges get a tailored scoring widget for every UpDog game — so the entry screen always matches the rules of whichever game is being run.

Club owners can now re-randomize the running order after a shed hunt has already begun — handy when a late entry walks up or the original order needs a do-over.
feature Per-Class Begin and Reset
Working and Champion shed-hunt classes can now be started and reset on their own — fire off Working while Champion is still warming up, or reset just one class without disturbing the other.
feature Per-Class Re-Randomize
Re-randomize the running order for a single shed-hunt class even after scores have been entered — useful when one class needs reshuffling but the other is already underway.
improvement Clearer Plant Boundaries in Running Order
The shed-hunt running order now shows a bold divider between plant groups, so judges and spectators can see at a glance where one plant ends and the next begins. The divider drops away once a class is locked.
improvement Sport-Aware Add Score on Dog Profiles
The Add Score modal on a dog's profile now adapts to shed hunt — record a time and pass/fail directly instead of dock-diving distance fields that don't apply.
fix Cleaner Shed Hunt Results on Dog Profiles
The shed-hunt results table on dog profiles now shows the Class column and drops the trophy badge plus stray Result/Time columns that didn't belong on a time-based sport.
feature Draft → Judge Approval → Final UKC Paperwork
UKC post-event paperwork now flows through a clear Draft → Judge Approval → Final workflow. Print a draft to the judge for review, capture their approval, then generate the final official document — no more guessing which version to send to UKC.

Each day's UKC shed-hunt form now reflects the handler who actually ran that day, so multi-day events with handler swaps print accurate paperwork.
improvement Handler Defaults to Dog Owner
Registrations and shed-hunt paperwork now fall back to the dog's owner name when no handler is specified — fewer blank fields on the printed form.

Judge signature placement on the UKC class and series reports has been fine-tuned to sit cleanly above the pre-printed lines for a professional finished document.

The Specialty Class field is gone from the Add and Edit Dog forms — it's now picked at registration time per event, where it actually matters.

The official UKC shed-hunt paperwork now lists every dog in the hunt, not only dogs that already have a UKC registration on file — walk-up entries no longer get dropped from the form.

Column alignment on the Working and Youth UKC shed-hunt forms now lines up with the pre-printed labels for a tidier finished document.
fix No Finals Button on Shed Hunt Events
The Generate Finals Run button is now hidden on shed-hunt events, since shed hunts don't use a finals format.
April 27, 2026
feature Agility Tracking — New Tracking-Only Sport
Track AKC, UKI, and CPE agility runs and titles right on your dog's profile. Log a trial day with all its runs in one wizard, see live progress toward MACH, PACH, UAGCH, C-ATCH and more, and self-enter titles your dog has already earned. Sport Dog Hub doesn't host agility events — but you can keep the full record here alongside your dock-diving and shed-hunt history.

Every dog's profile now shows an Agility tab with a friendly empty state and 'Log Trial' button — no need to log a run first just to see where it lives.

Column headers on the Fastest Combined Time board are now readable in Sun mode — they were appearing invisible against the bright background.
April 24, 2026
feature Scratch a Dog from a Shed Hunt
Scorekeepers and club owners can now scratch a dog mid-event — the dog's registration and entry fee stay on the books, but the dog is excluded from placements, titles, and DOY scoring. An Unscratch button reverses it if a handler returns to the line.
improvement Streamlined Scorekeeper Portal
Score keepers now land directly in the scoring portal, see only their club's next upcoming event and any events already in progress, and skip the UKC post-event paperwork tiles they don't need — fewer clicks, less clutter on event day.
improvement Faster Scoring on Older Chromebooks
Scoring screens are now tuned for older 1366×768 Chromebooks: bigger touch targets on shed-hunt buttons, tighter layout, on-screen number pads for time and distance entry, and lighter page loads — scoring stays smooth even on aging hardware.

Column headers now stay frozen at the top while you scroll the Fastest Combined Time board, so you always know which class and hunt each column belongs to.

improvement Smarter Live Running Order
The Up Now / On Deck / In the Hole strip now counts only dogs that haven't been scored yet — what you see is what's actually still to run.

Sport badges in the club's events list are now color-coded per sport so events like Shed Hunt stand out at a glance.
improvement Fastest Combined Time On by Default
Fastest Combined Time is now automatically enabled on every shed-hunt event — no extra setup needed for club owners.
improvement Tidier Shed Hunt Event Setup
The UKC Chair/Secretary fields are no longer shown on shed-hunt event edits, since the sport doesn't require those officials.
fix Personal Best for Time-Based Sports
Personal Bests on dog profiles now correctly pick the fastest time (not the largest number) for time-based disciplines like Shed Hunt.
fix Future Runs Hidden on Scoreboard
Scoreboards now blank out future and unscored runs so spectators don't mistake them for completed results.
fix No Judge's Sheet on Shed Hunt
The Judge's Sheet print button is now hidden on shed-hunt runs since shed hunt uses its own report format.
April 23, 2026
improvement Simpler My Dogs Table
The My Dogs tab now drops the Best Score and Runs columns — the table is easier to read, and those stats live on each dog's profile page.
April 22, 2026

Score keepers now only see their own club's in-progress events in the scoring portal — no more scrolling past events from other clubs.
fix Correct Handler Names on Fastest Combined Time
The Fastest Combined Time leaderboard now shows the right handler name when a dog's entry uses a day-of handler override or a junior handler.
fix Change Photo Button on Edit Dog
Fixed the Change Photo button on the Edit Dog form that looked grayed out — it now appears active like the rest of the form.

Sharing a dog profile or event page on social media now shows a custom preview image with the name, details, and photo — every share looks polished.
feature Readable Event URLs
Event pages now have friendly URLs like /events/wynne-farmfest instead of long ID numbers — easier to share, remember, and recognize. Old links still redirect.
improvement Smarter Schedule Ordering
Schedule items now sort by start time automatically. Items without a time fall to the end of the list — no more manual reordering.
improvement Club Address Now Optional
A club's physical address is now optional and never shown publicly — only the club owner and site staff can see it.

Document expiration reminders now arrive as direct messages instead of system announcements — easier to find and reply to if you have a question.
April 18, 2026

The Add Dog form skips the Specialty Class field for shed-hunt-only events, and breed and owner email are now optional — club owners can add walk-up entries faster.
improvement Cleaner Shed-Hunt Terminology
Shed-hunt runs are now labeled 'Hunt' instead of 'Splash' in shed-hunt contexts — the terminology matches the sport.
improvement Tidier Finalized Scoreboards
After shed-hunt placements are finalized, the board now sorts by Place and hides the current-dog scoring row — results are easier to read when the hunt is done.
