NOTE 2: FADS shows must use FADS ShowWare (click here) for their show data, which is much easier for you and for me.  However, you must be using a PC.  The program does not run on Apple devices.

NOTE 3: FADS shows must use the FADS online entry form, which is easy for entrants and for show secretaries.

NOTE 4: FADS does not provide a template for a hold harmless agreement.  This is a legal document that should be custom drafted for your shows.
