SOME RULE HIGHLIGHTS
If a safety is called either on a dog or a person all points are awarded. If safety called is on the last bird the clock stops when the dog is leashed by the handler. There will not ever be a nonperforming bird issue. If a bird doesn't get up you must pick it up and throw it at least 20 feet into the field so your dog still has to retrieve it. There is no NON PERFORMING BIRD. No points will be deducted on a trapped bird by flushing dogs. One shell must be deducted upon retrieval.
Birds will be tucked and nested for poin ters. Birds will be plunged from an ATV for Flushers. There is no rule aginst watching fields prior to your run but you may not watch the bird set to your run or the run prior. Good Sportstmen participate and co-operate Great Sportsmen help everybody's day go better!
The Season will consist of 5 total event dates, however only 3 scores willbe totaled towards the end of the year trophies. If you can only make 3 events, those will be your tallied scores. If you can make more; then your top 3 scores go to the total. Running twice in one day will no longer be allowed, nither will :special scheduling" of the run orders; either plan ahead for the events you intend to run or stay home.
Event scores will be posted at the next event throughtout the season.
Entries may be limited to allotted time for the day and the season.
Entry Fees you will be required to pay $80 for each dog at each event with a 2 dog limit. Payment will be made that day to PUBDS as we need to pay each club for the birds and the planter that day.
When registration you are required to proclaim the handler and list your dogs breed, name and whether it's a flusher or a pointer. This cannont change during the season. One event during the course of the season a dog will be allowed to run with a different handler for emergency purposes. If it should be required to run with a different handler than listed at registration more than once a 7 POINT DEDUCTION will be taken from the overall score.
The event is meant to be FUN!! Yes there will be a little competition, but more so about camaraderie among fellow bird hunters. The final tournment will be awards day (as well any run-offs to break any tie in the top places.) What a better way to spend a day than with your dog and having a cold beverage. Events will be help snow, rain, or shine but will be rescheduled if weather is a major factor. We will not put dogs or people at any serious health risks.
THANKS AGAIN FOR SUPPORTING THIS BIRD DOG CLUB!
