Please click on the appropriate link above to download the Omnibus and Date Application forms. This new MS Word fillable form has been created to allow you to save your information in an electronic format for easier use. Please fill it out and e-mail it back to the address on the form before the appropriate due date . If you do not use Word you will need to find someone to submit the information for you.

Please help us meet our mailing deadline by sending in your application before the deadline. If time allows, we will send you a link to your online Omnibus listing for proofreading.

The "Omnibus" will be published in two volumes. The first, the Spring issue, will contain information for competitions scheduled between January 1 and June 30. The second, the Summer/Fall issue, will contain information for competitions scheduled between July 1 and December 31.  Competitions being held in  January & July may be included in both issues of the Omnibus if requested. The Omnibus will be sent to all current ADS members.

Remember, the purpose of the Omnibus is to eliminate the need for competition organizers to publish their own prize lists (however a competition is not required to be included in the "Omnibus"). It also eliminates the need to file a prize list copy with USEF if the show has applied for and received USEF recognition.

If your competition does publishes a prize list, a draft copy must be sent to the ADS office (and USEF if applicable) for review. After any required modifications are completed a final electronic file can be sent to the office and we will attach it to your Omnibus web page. Remember:  If your show publishes a prize list, the information included must match the information in the Omnibus.  Information published in the Omnibus has been reviewed and approved by the American Driving Society and is the OFFICIAL source of information for competitors.

Any variance from ADS rules requires permission PRIOR  to publication in the Omnibus. Request a Rule Modification form if necessary.

Information for the Omnibus should be BRIEF - giving competitors the information they need to decide to compete at your show. Additional information should be mailed to the competitor with the confirmation of the receipt of the entry. We reserve the right to edit information for space and clarity.

The insurance coverage will be provided by Equisure (800) 752-2472 contact Diane Lesher.  Please remember that each participant must sign the ADS disclaimer.
