limit on master test

[Paul "Happy" Gilmore]

I think the rule book has enough rules in it, already.

Like limiting entries on tests? That was a crummy one.

Good point. But someone will step up and help. I know I usually end up throwing birds when I am running.

That's the whole reason that HT work. Volunteers. Without them you have to limit entries.

If we're worried about the pro knocking the amateur out, easy solution Limit on # of dogs any single handler can run @ a test or at a stake. The Pro would be more prone to run the dogs they knew were ready, rather than pushing entries because it's a double master, and you leave the spots open for Amateur Handlers. Realistically thought in AZ they ended up having 5 spots open each day, for their double master, with everyone pulling out after limiting out way in advanced.

The entries are becoming so large that the club can't support enough grounds, equipment, workers, and last minute judges. It's better to limit entries than to cancel the event due to its own over popularity.

I can see grounds being a limitation. Most of the folks I've spoken with agree that there is one primary problem, help.

The ratio of dogs versus humans at a hunt test has become way too low for the sport to be healthy. Who would have thought having too many dogs at a hunt test would cause a problem?
