This might help a little
At any time when a dog catches a rabbit their strikes are plus. In situations where only one dog scores a line and the remaining dogs haven't yet, when the dog catches the rabbit, all dogs will recieve their strikes, same as going to a place of refuge.
An example where a dog wouldn't recieve their strike points. All dogs are struck in, one scores a line, 3 miss it, and then the rabbit is lossed. Dog A that scored the line will get his strike, and line points, and then a -50 for a the loss of the track, and the rest of the pack, would have a line through their strikes, and a -50 for the loss. Remember in this case, I was referring to a four dog cast where all dogs were struck in., If majority of the cast was not struck in, then they would be minused accordingly to their struck in point value.
There's really not any clear black and white description of what you were asking, but this is what the rules are.
Another situation, and I've had this happen. 4 dogs are struck in, and 3 of the 4 score all 3 lines, while, the 4 th dog had missed all 3 lines, in this case. I believe he obviously gets no line points, but also a line is crossed through his strike points as well.
If a dog strikes in and immediately catches the rabbit, if the only one struck in, then that dog gets the strike points and then a dead track.
Hope some of this will help.
POINTS WILL BE PLUS:
a. When the non-hunting Judge, or majority of cast if hunting Judge is used, are present as Judge scores dogs on speed and drive at point rabbit was seen by a Judge or cast member (after completion of circle).
b. If dog(s) catch rabbit, dogs receive Strike and Check points only.
c. One set of points where two or more rabbits are seen on the same line.
d. One set of strike points. In case of split tracks, score first track (one time) and recover dog(s) so they may be turned in to dog(s) running split track. However, if rabbit on split track is seen while attempting to score the first track, it may be scored (one time) and then dog(s) must be turned in on the split track. Dog(s) turned in on split track gets next available position. If all positions are taken, dog(s) get 25 points.
e. On Strike, when rabbit is jumped and seen by non-hunting Judge or majority of cast if hunting Judge is used, but goes to a hole or place of refuge before completion of circle (cast must make an attempt to locate hole. Majority of cast decision in hunting Judge situation or non-hunting Judges decision).
f. On strike, if dogs are trailing a rabbit that has been seen by the majority of cast or the nonhunting Judge when time runs out.
