Run-thrus and Trial Etiquette

There's a great post at the "Miles and Emma" blog with some tips and suggested etiquette for "fun matches," a slightly-more-formal event than our run-thrus, but not a trial. This is a great list for people new to agility, run-thrus, and trialing, and a nice reminder of good manners for those of us who may have become too comfortable and cavalier about our weekly run-thrus (I apologize to EVERYONE for violating #10--often.)
