New Rule?

I would like to know what everybody thinks about the new rule where you can not handle your dog if it split trees while you're scoring or shinning another tree?

I honestly cant remember wanting to go handle my dog while shineing another tree. I have asked for permission to go handle on splits many times but it has always been on the way to the trees. If i hear my dog come treed while shineing another tree i always wait until shine time is up to call him anyway. The only scenario i can think of where waiting could hurt you is right at the end if hunt time was about to run out.

As I understand the rule, the only change is that the judge doesn't have to allow you to handle your dog while the cast is scoring a tree.
Really, the only way this rule could possibly hurt is if you are hunting a dog that doesn't stay parked.

Anyone who does not like this should ask themselfs, would you like it if cast members left your tree while trying to score it when you need a majority seeing your coon to plus it?
