Rule 4 G, states:

(g) Dogs treeing, but not declared treed, when Judge arrives, will be minused on tree points on "off" game or slick tree. Points will be determined by next available position in the case of one dog, or split available tree points in the case of two or more dogs. Dogs shut out on strike on slick tree or "off" game will receive minus tree points only.

If there is a coon in the tree and the other dogs get plussed, then what do the dogs treeing but not declared tree'd get? I know it may sound like a stupid question, but I can't find any reference to deal with that situation in the rule book. Am I overlooking it?

If the handler doesn't tree his dog an the 5 expires with a coon seen , he gets minus on strike for being at a tree with coon seen and not declared treed.

If the tree is slick or off game he gets minused strike and tree , even if not declared treed ( asigned next avaliable position and minused.....The only way he is prevented from getting a minus strike on a slick is if he was shut out on strike. (another dog was declared treed before the other dog struck... He would still be asigned next available position and minus on tree... Confusing ?

The stationary rule doesn't aplly to them because another dog is declared treed and time is running.

A side note.... If they declare them treed AFTER the 5 expires , they MUST be on a separate tree.

The easiest way to remember how to score tree's is;

1. Coon seen-- Plus treed dogs , minus strike on others at the tree , no matter when they come into tree.

2. Slick or off game --- Minus all dogs treeing when you arrive, strike and tree even if not declared treed. ( Only exception is dogs shut out on strike = delete strike, minus tree points... If dog comes in AFTER judge arrives , he gets deleted strike.

3. Circle tree--- Circle dogs declared treed , delete strike on others at tree

Three different rules might be applicable for dogs treeing but not declared treed when the judge arrives. Those three are 4(d) 4(g) and 5(a). Before you'll know which of the three applies to that dog you'll need to score the tree first.

1) If a coon is seen. 4(d) applies
2) If it's slick or offgame. 4(g) applies
3) If it's a circle tree. 5(a) applies.

Man, you guys make this one little mistake over and over. YOU DO NOT DELETE STRIKE POINTS in any of those intances. The strike points are minused or circled, never deleted under 4(d), 4(g) or 5(a) unless the dog was shutout.
Strike point are not deleted unless you are shut out, dog returns to a previously scored tree or timeout is called. Read rule 5-Deleted Points .

You also delete strike points if they guy who finds the coon for the cast has a dog that comes in late or leaves the tree ...

It had to quit a track to come to that tree that late........so minus for quiting a track. Right or wrong?

Comr to think of it they have to quit a track to wind up at a slick tree....LOL

Well the dog may have quit a track to come in late but the rules don't score as a track that was quit. The rules score it like longshot said in his post above. The tree must be scored before the strike points can be scored.

OK.....5(b) doesn't allow minus points for late dogs coming in after judge arrives(no coon seen) .... 5(g) says to delete a shutout dog's strike , so where do you come up with circle points for a dog that comes in after judge arrives ?

My understanding is , if a dog is struck in and then comes into a closed tree AFTER judge arrives where NO coon is seen , that dog gets his strike deleted ''per'' rule 5(g)

I can see where rule 5(a) would allow a dog NOT declared treed to be circled IF the game was in a hole , BUT if a tree is made and the 5 run and other dogs are declared treed , wouldn't 5(g) apply ?

If you guys are right , it would seem like the circle points would not be earned. Circle points have value , deleted points do not.

Also , if you guys are right , then what is rule 5(g) for ???

I think that the confusion may be in the terminology. Rule 5(g) "When dog that is shut out comes into tree shut out on."
This is refering to "shut out" not "closed tree". Here's UKC's definition of shut out:
Shut Out
If a dog is not struck in on trail before another dog in the cast is declared both struck and treed, that dog is considered shut out on that strike.

On some of the rule threads I have also wondered when and where and if 5(g) applies. It can get a little confusing on some of these threads. Usually because of a lack of info, or because we seem to sometimes get sidetracked onto "what if" scenarios that have little to do with answering the original question.

Jabrown , I agree that 5(g) does leave some confusion and probably needs some additional wording to clarify. I wish there were a simple way to score every tree in every senario , but there are alot of possibilities to what happens in live action.

I know that a dog that is shutout on strike gets deleted , but this arguement is about a dog that is carrying a strike position , then comes into a closed tree that is slick or off game after judge arrives....Jim says that dog gets strike circled and he is probably right , but I still don't see why that dog would deserve the reward of circle points instead of deleted points.

For the record , I have seen points deleted and points circled on dogs coming into these closed trees , AND I've even seen differant rulings from MOH's back at the club. Thankfully , it hasn't mattered in tiebreakers so far.

And your right Jabrown , this has nothing to do with the original question on this thread.

Longshot, it seems that you and I have the same confusion as to what to do with the strike points on the scenario that you described. I guess that you can't minus them because of rule 5(b). And you definitely can't plus em. So why is it that the only thing left to do is circle? It seems to me that the only fair thing to do would be to delete, but I know that it has been said numerous times that the points get circled. That's doesn't sound that terrible, but the question that I have is where is the rule that says circle strike points on a dog coming in to tree after judge arrives?
I'm not new to coon hunting but am very new to nite hunts and am trying really hard to make sure and know the rules in and out before I get in the woods, this one has stumped me for a while now.
By the way, Longshot what was the original question?

Josh ,I've had some time to ''let it soak'' and I'm sure the circle is correct even though it don't seem right when you consider 5(g). Jim will be back and open our eyes.

It boils down to the fact that a dog is responsible for strike points unless he is shut out on strike. I suppose one could argue that he ''might'' deserve circle points because he was enticed into the tree by lights shining and squalling and was prevented from finishing his track and therefore deserves the circle ?

Maybe Allen at UKC will see this and reply also if he has time.

By the way Joshua 24:15 is my favorite vs also.

It really should be deleted..Even one treeing when the judge arrives and ones treeing but not declared treed should be deleted on a circle tree..I mean that one circle strike COULD come back to beat you in the end if its tied but it just aint like that..I circle em cause JIM has told us all on here 10,000 times that you cant delete them

If you have a circle situation, all dogs points are circle. All dogs at circle tree get circle points. If one dog at a tree gets circle points, all dogs at that tree get circle points.
