What are the two types of stewards?

• A. Test observer, field steward
• B. Compliance steward, field steward
• C. Test steward, event steward
• D. Test steward, field steward

Answer: (D)

Two types of stewards are involved in the testing setup: the test steward and the field steward. The test steward handles the procedural side of the test—checking credentials, making sure rules are followed, coordinating timing and scoring, and assisting the examiner inside the testing area. The field steward manages the on-course or practical portion—setting up the course, guiding handlers and dogs through tasks, enforcing safety, and communicating course status to the test staff. Together they cover both the administrative and hands-on parts of the exam, ensuring the process runs smoothly and safely. Other pairings don’t reflect the standard roles used in this context, so the combination of a test steward with a field steward is the correct pairing.
