I'd like someone to post what a point value was worth on the 3rd year of the program and what the point cap was back then.
I'm just curious, I was not around then, but have heard a few stories about some "very large payouts" in the very first few years of the program.
The way I see it, in the first at least 2 years of the program, very little is payed out because the newly nominated pups physically can't do any substantial winning until at least 1.5-3 years old.... So the pot should've been pretty big, why is it so small now?
Those large payouts were the first year when there was no cap on the number of points won per hunt. I recall that, I think it was Larry Prouix, won the reg hunt at AO with a pup. Back then you got a flat two points for every 20 dogs entered. The AO reg hunt enters what, 200 or so? Prioux won something like 20some points and this was back when points were worth 400 bucks. That's a BIG check! UKC saw the problem and fixed it quickly. Most always expected the point value to level off and hold steady at around 100 bucks per point. I think they will continue to do what they think is necessary to keep the program at the $100 per point level.
As for that last question, just do the math.
You got $100000 being divided by 100 dogs, that's $1000 per point. You take $500000 being divided by 5000 dogs, that's $100 per point, like we have today.
