Rule 9.L Clarification

Postby Dale Huff » Sun Apr 30, 2017 10:32 pm

4 dog cast, all dogs struck. Dog A trees through the country opposite of dogs BCD. Score dog A's tree walk the minute no dogs heard so walk back to place other dogs were last heard and start the 6 min rule. 6 min rule is up with no word from dogs B, C, & D.

Rule says "points will be deleted and the time-out rule applied or the handlers may receive minus strike points and continue the cast at their option. If handlers with struck dogs are unable to reach a unanimous decision, time-out will be called."

So the UNANIMOUS part of that is for the handlers of dogs B, C, & D? Also, I'm taking it UNANIMOUS is 3 of 3 handlers all voting the same way and not a majority vote?

Yes, "If handlers with struck dogs"

Correct
Prepare yourself and your hound. Hunt the dog, read the Blue Book, and your Good Book!
