I think one thing that gets people mixed up is this. If a dog is not declared treed but on the closed tree when judge gets there, a coon is found it only gets minus strike points and no next available tree position. If it is a slick or off game that is where the next available tree comes in.
Example 1. DogsA,B, and C are struck in that order. Dog A is called treed. Time is up on tree. Judge gets there and Dog B is also on the tree but not declared treed. Coon is seen Dog A gets 225+ and dog B gets 75-.
Example 2. DogsA,B, and C are struck in that order. Dog A is called treed. Time is up on tree. Judge gets there and Dog B is also on the tree but not declared treed. Tree is slick. Dog A gets 225- and dog B gets minus strike and minus next available tree position, which gives dog B 150-.
In my opinion the rule should be the same for any dog found to be treeing on a closed tree when judge gets there. Shouldn't matter if it has a coon in it, slick, or has off game. They should get next available tree position and scored that way. One uniform rule for this situation. If dog is found on closed tree but not declared treed when judge arrives will be awarded next available tree position and scored as follows. If coon, off game, or slick dog will receive minus strike points and minus next available tree position. If tree is a circle tree, all points will be circled for all dogs on that tree.
