rule question

in ukc all dogs treed can you score trees out of order.or do you have to score in order.

Yes, If all dogs are handled and time out is called you can score them in whatever order works best. No, if hunt time is running they should be scored in the same order they're treed.

What happens if one dog leaves their tree and gets minused while you are scoring dogs out of order? Do you call time in and release the dogs already scored and on lead?

Oh my goodness, my rulebook doesn't have an 11e. It only goes to 11d.
I went back to 7e however and it says dogs on leash will be recast. It doesn't say that you don't have the option to keep them on leash if another dog is treed. I would assume that you did.
Scoring out of order might come back to bite you if your dog was treed first and fourth dog gets to be scored and recast when 2nd or 3rd dog leaves its tree on the way to yours. It would only benefit you to score trees out of order if your dog was treed 3rd or 4th.
