- Canadian Eskimo Dog is accepted from FCI - the new sleddog breed is racing in group 2;

- the pedigree of those dogs who are taking part on our Championships must be presented in original or legalized copy at the vet check before the race;

- a new microchip database will be set-up to check the validity of the released dog passes;

- the brush bow is not mandatory anymore, but a wheel bow/wheel protector is compulsory in the future too on the three wheeler carts;

- the minimum weight of the carts in every categories is cancelled;

- three wheeler carts are not accepted anymore on sprint races in categories O, A and B. In these categories the four wheeler carts are mandatory. On sprint championships the three wheelers can be used in C and D categories in the future too;

- On middle distance championsips the four wheeler carts are mandatory in all categories – especially because of the dogs bag – but also without a minimum weight;
