Is there a misprint in line c under babbling?

Yeah, looks like there is supposed to be a NOT in there. Getting it fixed as we speak.

If dog A is treed, 3 minutes is up that tree is now closed. Then dog B falls treed in the same area, it will be considered split. When cast arrives dog B is treed with dog A & that tree is slick. Is the the correct scoring?

A/ -125 & his strike
B/ -125 &-25 & his strike

Poor dog B...
Dog A is treed
After only 3 minutes tree is closed
Dog B now comes treed and his not so smart handler trees him for 125. When cast arrives Dog B is on Dog A's tree and it is slick.
Dog A is minused strike and tree.
Dog B is minused 125 for supposedly leaving his tree.
Then Dog B is assigned and minused 25 tree and his strike for backing Dog A on a slick tree.

Under the old rules, Dog B would have been assigned and minused 75 tree points for backing on a slick tree. This is one of the unintended consequences of the tree countdown. There will now be a strategy involved as to when you tree your dog. Do you take first tree for 125 or wait 2 minutes and tree for 25 if you think your dog has treed a possum or a slick.

Oh my goodness

A simple scenario is asked, now you sound like chewtoy & result to name calling. Please tell me your not turning into one of them..😂

Name calling????

Sorry Mr Yaeger, I guess that I am not very PC. Does this sound better?

In my humble opinion, treeing your dog on a closed tree is not a very smart move for a handler to make. You risk getting minused 125 and you can always still tree your dog when it is obvious that it is split and is going to stay.
