I think terms like “run up”, “first turn”, “ go by” that are used in organised coursing may go over the heads of most Daywalkers mate

Not aimed at you , Fens; your one of the most sensible

Cheers.

I was a regular at the Border & Coquetdale Coursing Club and was lucky enough to attend the three days of the last Waterloo Cup.

Professionaly run with independent slippers and judges, judging hound against hound where the kill was not the most important thing. 

I never, sadly, got to see organised whippet coursing.

Cheers.

If I remember rightly isn’t a go by where a dog comes from 2 lengths behind the other dog to 1 length infront when they are both trying to get back to the hare ?

Had great times proud times and sad times we love a fair sport we don’t like broken shoulders legs and all sorts whilst a 90 degree flip trying to take one out looks kinder wow if it turns into a 180 plus flip it has bad  effects

Yer mate dog who made full turn scores points  is trying his best to recover to speed the dog behind leans in and takes it up and the go by is other dog getting back on top on scores more if it’s convincing go by  . Can get go by on the run up also 

 , no points for kill. In whippets rules pre  ban

Don’t quote me on this, Fens, as I was never a judge, just an interested spectator; when the hounds are slipped, the fastest hound up to the hare scored 3 points, if it turned the hare it scored another 2 points, if after the turn, the slower hound in the run up was in front and the hound that turned the hare then went past it and led again, it would be a go by and scored 3 points meaning it was 8 points in front and then the judge would either take points off the leading hound if it started to get bettered by the other hound until they were equal or keep adding points to the leading hound if was scoring more than the other hound.

I hope that makes sense, if the leading hound was 8 points in front and the other hound did a go by the judge would score it 5-0 not 8-3.

Dont ask me why, that’s just the rules

Cheers.

Judging went for me sometimes u need arms like an octopus and as many fingers as Edward scissor hands it’s moved on now for the new age type  lol goes like this “ it’s dead great dog “   “ not dead “  “ if it misses next one  “ what a hare “ put that dog in a home or leave it in the field. !!!
