I am looking for the rules that state the minimum number events that must be offered in a trial to hold a BH with the written test, for AWDF clubs only.  I know most folks here are USCA affiliated and a few WDA, but the clubs that will be doing this are AWDF, so I don't need info on how to do this under USCA or WDA.  Any info that anyone can give will be helpful

Here is what I did find from FCI, am I missing anything? Any tips, previous experiences etc?

Trial Days
a) Saturday, Sunday and Holidays Trial days are generally on the weekend as well as l
egal Holidays. BH/VT tests can also only be done on official trial days. It is possible to trial for the BH/VT and the IPO-1/FH 1 tests in tandem with a two day trial (Friday-
Saturday), (Saturday-Sunday) at one or 2 different clubs. A waiting time between the BH/VT and IPO-1/FH 1 does not exist. Example: Friday Saturday BH, Sunday Saturday IPO-1 or FH 1

Remark: Friday can only be secured if more dogs are presented on Saturday than can be accommodated. Start time is not before 12:00 noon. The participant number for the IPO/FH is condensed to half. For pure BH/VT trials up to 7 dogs may be tested. A Friday trial in tandem with a Saturday trial secured for IPO/FH tests must end on Saturday. Individual dogs may also complete their trial on Friday.

Exception: If participants, who plan on trailing their dogs on Friday for the BH/VT test, they may start on Friday if then on Saturday they test for IPO-1 or FH1 and there is no “overage” in the number of participants. Be attentive to the event authorization guidelines.

Participants, who participate for the first-time in a FCI BH (Begleithund) trial and who do not have proof of the certificate for the written test, must first pass the test on the day of the trial before they are allowed to take part in the practical test. All dogs of all breeds and size are permitted to part icipate. The minimum age requirement is 15 months. In order to conduct a BH test at least four dogs must participate in the trial. If the BH test is combined with another phase, then a minimum of four participants must trial (e.g. IPO, FH, BH). The number of participating handlers on any given trial day may vary between 10 and 15 and this is determined by the number of the phases being tested, whereby the limit of 30 may not be exceeded. (BH tests including the written part counts as 3 phases, without the theoretical part it is then considered as 2 phases.

Trial Judges (LR) Judges (LR), who are authorized to judge an IPO event, can be invited by the hosting club or as determined by the National Organization (LAO). In regards to world championships, the judge (LR) can be requested through the FCI Utility Dogs Commission. The number of judges (LR) invited is up to the hosting club, whereby any given judge may only judge up to a maximum of 36 individual phases per day (not valid for world championships).
FPr Level 1-3 equivalent to one phase
UPr Level 1-3 equivalent to one phase
SPr Level 1-3 equivalent to one phase
StPr Level 1-3 equivalent to one phase
BH/VT equivalent to 2 phases
IPO-VO IPO ZTP equivalent to 3 phases
IPO-1, IPO-2, IPO 3 equivalent to 3 phases
FH 1 – FH 2 equivalent to 3 phases
