Cast Drawing Procedure REMINDER

[Jerry Moll]

All of the following steps should be completed out in the open, in plain view of anyone wanting to watch the process.

1. Hunt Director should begin drawing casts immediately following the deadline, but never later than thirty (30) minutes after the advertised deadline.
2. Determine total number of entries and number of casts needed.
3. Prepare required scorecards with all information completed, including deadline to return scorecards.
4. Select required Judges from the entry labels and affix one to each scorecard.
5. Select the required number of guides from the entry labels and place in the "Guide" container.
6. Prepare one blank entry label for each three (3) dog cast, if any. Write "three (3) dog cast" on each and include them in the "Hunters" container with all remaining entry labels.
7. Once all entry labels are in their containers to ensure a "blind" draw, allow each Judge to draw his cast. Judge should draw a guide first, and then the remainder of cast. Hunt Director should inspect entry stickers before they are stuck on the scorecard. Dogs with owners and/or handlers in common are required to draw separate casts when possible. If judge draws two entry slips with common owners/handler, the last one pulled will be placed back in the draw box and a new entry sticker drawn. Be sure that the names of the Judge and Guide are indicated on the top of the scorecard.
8. Announce the number of dogs, the payout and the deadline, and then call casts.
