Dog A is pulled off a tree, Dog B is struck in, Dog C is NOT struck. Do we run the 6 on dog B before recasting Dog A? Or do we cast Dog A? because Dog C is still competing for strike.
I'm looking for a clarification on what to do in this situation because there is a majority of the membership that DOES NOT KNOW THE RULE.

Re: Rule question
Run the six on dog B before recasting dog A.
9.K. Recasting After Scoring Tree - After scoring a tree, lead handled dog(s) one (1) minute. At that point if all dogs are on leash or if no dogs are struck in, dog(s) should be released and a new set of strike points opened up. If other dog(s) are struck in, but not opening, the six (6) minute rule will then be applied to them. Do not start six (6) minute rule until after walking the required one (1) minute from tree. Leashed dog(s) should be released when one (1) of the struck dogs opens, or if a dog at large opens and is declared struck. If no dog opens for six (6) minutes, except when cast has walked out of hearing of trailing dogs, all strike points will be minused. All leashed dog(s) should then be released and a new set of strike points opened up. After scoring a tree and walking a minute, do not release handled dog(s) when:
(1) All other dogs have been declared treed.
(2) The six minute rule is working on trailing dog(s).
(3) The two minute rule is working on treed dog(s) and no struck dog(s) are opening.
(4) Cast had walked out of hearing of trailing dog(s) to score the tree.
(5) Less than six minutes remain in the cast and struck dog(s) are not opening.
