A DEADLINE IS A DEADLINE What's the difference??

I think it has been covered in the past ,say you are running late.You can have someone at the club do a conditional entry for you .You or the dog do not necessarily have to be on the grounds at deadline.But you best be there when the casts are drawn and ready to roll or you will be scratched .
Maybe Todd or Alan or someone from UKC can weight in on this. An entry deadline is so EVERYONE knows what time they have to be at an event to enter. I remember some times driving like a bat out of hecko to make an entry deadline.
That is WHY I try to allow more then enough time so I can get to the event before the entry closes.
It is my understanding that to enter a dog in a UKC event you either have to show the papers or the easy entry card. So can an entry be taken without seeing the Card OR Papers? I realize that with today technology that a person could send a picture from their phone but what if the person taking entries has a dumb phone instead of a smart phone?
How many minutes late does the person get to get to the clubhouse with their dog? 1 minute? 5 minutes? 10 minutes? 30 minutes?
Once you start not following the rules, that opens up all kinds of potential problems.
Also while on the subject what time does a club go by? The clubhouse clock OR cell phone time? Not a silly question. Most people have cell phones. Many use their phones any more for a watch. In theory all cell phone times should be the same or REALLY close.
But what if the clubhouse clock is 5 minutes fast? In theory they would be closing entries before the actual deadline or if it was slow closing after the deadline.
If a club closes their entries by the club house clock then the people coming don't know if that clock is going to have the right time or fast or slow time.
Not making an entry deadline line in time is the breaks of the game. Things happen sometime where that happens. Either poor planning to not allow enough time, hard time finding club house, detour or accident etc.
So if it is OKAY to take an entry on the phone because a party is running late, THEN is it okay for guys in a hunt that AREN'T going to make the hunt deadline to call in with their scores??
What's the difference??, a deadline is a deadline.
Can someone from UKC address this please??
