Competition rules!!!!

[TOMO 28,308]

yes i agree

[LDR 29]

even if the injured dog has only cought 3-4 more, the other dog has to beat that, yes

 

 

 

yeah i think so, youll have the time limit to beat him on numbers, if not then the injured dog goes through......it'll leave a month for the injured dog to get itself right for the next heat.....what about if the dog is still out by the next heat, do we let the other dog through by default???

 

DOH GOOD QUESTION :wacko: hhhhhhhmmmmmmmm i dont know

ID say no its out, whichever dog the injured dog gets drawn against for the next round gets the BY as its their on merit.

 

 

no probs!!! how do people feel about the accidental slip rule????

 

 

something needs to be in place for it as its bound to happen and cause grief if its not clear cut, it makes the judges job easier!!!!!

not enetering... but playing devils advoctate... my dogs catch more game on ground they know.... gaps in hedges, easy places to jump, dips in feilds etc.... so if someone gives up land, are they aloud to run it?

Yep the advantage will be minimal if any at all....the 2 competitors will be walking side by side and running alternate slips, so how could you guarantee that it'd be your slip at that point in the field????

not trying to be orcuard mate, but i beg to differ. if its a straight numbers game, what to say a dog has to run the beam etc... if a dog knows the ground, a rabbit decideds to squat, the dog through knowledge of the ground come in from the rabbits most likly run would have the advantage. i also think dogs in a familiar environment are more settled and consentrated, they know where to look for game and where it normally moves from. itcould also be argued that a dog on its own ground is less likly to be injured. however it could be argued that a dog on another dogs territory would try that little bit harder.

 

if it were me id be pushing for impartial land aswell judge.....and without tryijng to draw myself into it to much, it could be done!

fella your splitting hairs to much, and reading to much in this home advantage thing, there aint no home advantage not slip for slip . im prepaired to travel to other peoples land just like the rest in the comp

I've ran my dog on allsorts of land mate and to be honest its not made a bit of difference, if your dog knows its job then it dont matter if you're local or on the moon, it should be watching the beam and runni9ng what you put it on.....in answer to injuries, again my dog has smashed itself really bad and usually on land i work most often!!!!

as i say im not trying to be orcuard but i really do beg to differ. i think in any dog, be it lurcher, terrier or hound, they kill more on ground they know...... i shall leave it at that
