Show Season Planner

Most exhibitors run a show season in fragments. Entry deadlines in one app. Show dates in a notebook. Handler contact in a text thread. Results on a scrap of paper. The season slips by and the most common regret is a closing date missed, a weekend double-booked, or a title run that stalled because nobody tracked where it stood.

The Show Season Planner pulls the whole season into one document. You set the year's goals before the first show opens. You log entry deadlines as they post. You record every show, judge, and result in the same place. At the end of the year, the season sits on paper in one archive.

What the document does:

Three sections cover every operational layer of a show season. Section 1 sets the year's goals before the calendar fills up. Section 2 tracks entry deadlines in order so nothing closes before you submit. Section 3 is the main show log, organized month by month, with every event captured in a single row.

What is included:

• Season Goals table covering up to 8 dogs with the title target and points needed for each, plus an on-track status column for mid-season check-ins
• Entry Deadline Tracker with 20 rows for show name, closing date, submission status, and confirmation number
• Main Show Log organized across all 12 months, with columns for event name, date, location, entry deadline, entry fee, class, handler, judge, and notes
• Document header for program name and season year for archiving

Format and how it works:

Includes a Word document. Landscape format so the full show log fits across a single page without scrolling. Print one copy per season and keep it in your show bag or binder. Archive completed seasons so you have a year-over-year record of your program's activity.

Why this version is different:

Most show planning happens reactively. An entry opens, you notice it, you submit or you miss it. This document turns a reactive season into a managed one. The Entry Deadline Tracker is the section that earns its keep fastest. Most exhibitors don't realize how many deadlines overlap in a single month until they put them all in one place.

Who this is for:

For exhibitors running structured programs who want to manage entry deadlines, show logistics, and title progress from one document. Works for conformation, performance sports, and trials under AKC, UKC, ABKC, and other registries. Pairs with the Judge Research Sheet, Per-Show Results Log, and Point and Title Tracker as a full season management set.
