Oh my, that kinda sucks. Why don't they allow it? That seems like such a waste of money.

Great runs! Bentley is such an awesome sheltie and Ashley and her husband are great handlers that really seem to complement each other well regarding Bentley's strengths. I was especially impressed with your steeplechase run. It looks like he will have his ADCH in no time at all. 
USDAA trials have 5 regular classes (Standard, Jumpers, Snooker, Gamblers, Pairs) at all 3 levels and 3 tournaments (Grand Prix, Steeplechase and sometimes Team events). There are also unlimited entries (unlike AKC which has limited entries and 3 classes max per day). Things can get pretty crazy for the trial secretary and what I have been told is that the organization decided that it would be asking too much of trial secretaries to have to do move-ups during a trial.
There has been some talk of now allowing move-ups over a 3 day weekend (if you get your title on Friday, you can move up on Sunday) since this allows the secretary some more time to re-do all the running orders and scribe sheets....but it's still at the discretion of the club and I don't know of many trial secretaries willing to do this!
