Wouldn't it have made more sense to have 6 casts? I would have thought that they would have had Five 3 dog casts and one 4 dog cast. It would have given one more dog a chance to advance and the 3 dog casts would have been more manageable.

The rules are to use the least number of casts possible. The format they use gives the 1 n 2 n 3 high scoring dogs automatic spot in finals while 4 n 5 hunt it off.

It isn't a "rule". It is a format or policy. They can do what they want. It is the World Championship, not a local club hunt. It looks like they would have had a better shot at 4 dogs advancing to the finals tonight.

Rule#1 Dogs must be divided into the least number of casts possible in accordance with the nite hunt cast breakdown sheet.
Looks like a rule.

My Rule Book says on pg 99 #4...Rules for running the events, "with special revisions as required". And then on pg 103 it says, "Friday Night (third round) - All dogs with plus points from the Thursday night (2nd round) will be drawn into casts and will hunt 2 hours. We must have different rule books.
