in stays can you use the command "SIT" when leaving your dog for a sit stay instead of telling it to "STAY" for competing in trials or do you have to say "STAY"

thanks in advance for the info

You are allowed to use the word SIT for the sit stays in obedience trials

So, the judge has said to take up position and sit your dog and you give the command "sit", then the judge says leave your dog and while others use the command "stay", you want to say "sit" again?

Yes The only time you have to use the word STAY is in the food refusal in UD!

Some people don't use a 'stay' they train that sit means sit still, I'm guessing this is what the OP is doing hence wanting to say sit instead of stay.

This is what I do as well. In some dogs it cuts the confusion of too many commands. Sit means sit until you are released irrespective of what is going on around you. The only release words for my dog are 'finish' or 'come'. We use the same approach to her drop as well. It seems to have improved her stability on stays. So as Tiggy said, I repeat the command of the position I want the dog to hold when I leave, be it sit, drop or stand.

Ok, that's interesting - it didn't occur to me that you could use the same (sit) command twice in the group sit/stays

You are not judged (except for misbehaviour) until the judge asks you "are you ready" at which time you acknowledge and on the command "leave your dogs" you are permitted to give a single word command and/or signal and leave. So any chatter you give to your dog prior to this doesn't matter. If I'm next to Ptolomy I'm just as likely to use wait instead of stay!!! :D Good thing he knows what I mean!!!!
