Rule threads

Seems like there's been a lot of threads concerning the scoring system lately. Some about the tree, others about the strike points. The question is, does the majority of comp hunters really think the scoring system is that flawed? And is using the current format of going through breed associations on rule changes the best way for the comp hunters voices to be heard?

I feel that making a change to the rules is an adaptive process and leaving it up to the breed associations is not always the best way. With that being said, all the rules that people want changed are not always going to work as good as they think. UKC has had the same scoring process for a long time. Does the best dog always win? No, but being beat by a lesser dog does not happen that often. Most of the time it is a handler error, dogs not working together and just burning up time, or just one bad drop. Let's be honest and most people show up at the hunts and think they have the best hound on the grounds but in really they are leading a dog that is just average. When they get beat so we need to change a rule or we need to do away with this or that. Changing rules do to technology is one thing but changing the rules to fit the hound is another. Most people who complain and want the rules changed would want them changed again when they start hunting a new dog. There are several KC's where the rules are all different and you have your choice to hunt the one you like the most. If all the KC's were the same with the same rules then why have an option, you wouldn't need it.

The tree down was considered and rejected by 5 out 6 Breed Associations some years back. Various polls on this board have always shown a string majority in favor of a countdown. So what the Associations want and everybody else wants is not exactly the same.

Im not sure polls on here nesissarily show the feelings of a majority of competition hunters.

Seems like there are plenty on here that have very strong feelings regaurding nite hunts and their rules, that have never entered a hunt.
