OK BOYS just a quick question, all thow i have run hares in days gone by, and would sooner be caught in a wood with a freezer full of meat, than ferret food, dont mean i dont appreciate the althleticness of the hounds, but how do you get the score when running 2 dogs together, and the match dog, or is it the first dog to catch? as you may no i dont post on these topic`s atb x38 and hope your season is going well .............

Points of the Course

THE RUN-UP The run from slips until the hare is turned for the first time. (Worth a maximum of three points to the faster dog.)

A TURN When a dog forces the hare to turn through more than 90 degrees. (Worth 1 point.)

A WRENCH When a dog forces the hare to turn through less than 90 degrees. (Worth 1/2 point.)

A GO-BY Where a dog starts a length behind his opponent, passes him in a straight run or on the outside circle, gets a clear length in front of him, and turns the hare. (Worth a maximum of 3 points.)

No, the object is to course not catch. The run up with a catch usually produces all three points.
