6(q) If handler fails to declare treed a dog obviously treeing (Judge's decision) for a period of five minutes. Dog may be declared treed while five is running but not after the five has expired. Judge must verify dog to be at a tree before it can be scratched.
If a dog is obviously treeing, per Judge's opinion, the judge is to apply Rule 6.q.(also referred to as the stationary rule). Cast should be at the "tree" when the 5 minutes is up just as you would score a dog that had been declared treed. During that 5 minutes, the handler may declare his dog treed which would break the 5 according to Rule 6.q. and a new 5 minutes should be applied.
If handler doesn't declare dog treed within 5 minutes, judge must verify dog is at a a tree (not a brushpile, den, fence, or etc).
Dog is scratched if Judge verifies dog to be treed for 5 minutes without being declared treed.
Should the dog be found to not be treed, cast simply backs out and let the hunt continue.
If the dog moves from location, quits barking for 2 minutes, or if another dog is declared treed at that spot, all of those situations would break the 5 applied by Rule 6.q.
Who knows, I could be wrong. That's how I understand it to be.
