Does anyone force an influx of dogs continuing to run Quals that to not have the 2 wins?
Will owners want the pros to continue to run the dogs in Qual?
There are plenty of dogs out there that seem to quit running Qual after a 1st and or 2nd and some other JAMs/placements and focus on training for the future.
Will those dogs beef up the Qual entries to any great extent and 'mess' up the normal Qual entries and subsequently have a real impact on clubs who pair up another stake with the Qual judges?

Some clubs have only 2 sets of judges with certain 'expectations' of under 35 dogs for Qual.

I may be wrong, but I don't think this will have a big impact on how FT folks run Qs--I certainly don't think many folks will ask their pros to keep running Qs to get the two instead of AA training. I think it will get HT folks to give it a try for something other than the MH and MNHn. It doesn't bother me as some may stick around. It could start leading to huge Qs but I don't think it will make them unmanageable. We will see. I do not think it will have the same impact on Qs as the MNHn (and easing the MNHT qualification) has had on HTs.
