How long does it normally take entry express to post the running order after it is drawn, and where on the website will it be located?
Also, the test I was looking at has 137 or so MH entries. Is that a normal number of entries in master (I am NOT one of them!) ?
Thanks.

The time it takes to post the running order is not up to Entry Express, it's up to the Hunt Test Secretary (speaking from experience). Once the entries close, a random running order is available for viewing by the HT Sec right away. It's up to them to review the running order, make sure no one is running where they shouldn't (i.e. a judges relative with a different last name, but in the same flight; etc.) and then they hit the button to post the running order.

Since most HT Secretarys also have other priorities (i.e. work, family, etc. :) ), I've seen it take anywhere from one to five or six days.

As for a 137 dog Master, that seems to be higher than the average test; but some tests tend to draw large numbers, particularly double tests, tests with great grounds, first test of the year in a local area, etc. It also depends on where you are. Here in Oregon, the average seems to be around 80-100 dogs, with some tests as high as 150 this year (probably because the MN is so close).

Generally if there are that many dogs, it is a double header test - at least that is around the amount that we received for our test(Backwater), held next weekend.
During regular tests, with just one Master a weekend, we have between 30 and 70 dogs.

It's your test I'm referring to, I'm totally new to this and saw the high entries and just wondered if that was normal for hunt tests.
Thanks!
