I understand how you would want something for your effort, but from the registry point of view, the very reason for the performance program, and its survival, is to keep new dogs coming on board into the program. The best way to do that is to move the newer through the program faster, while slowing the amounts of monies given out to the "finished" hounds. I see both sides, I really do. That's why I wanted a weekday hunting program so the grands could and would compete for money on more regular basis. The super slams have helped in that area some, but it still isn't weekdays, except for the weeks around a major UKC owned event, like the Winter Classic, and mostly regular type slams then.
Rock,
It would be nice to know if I was the first loser and I would be going home with some performance points for my dog.
Ok how about this, you can bring a Registered dog place in the top 10 each night, gets points toward NtCh, get some Performance points, prizes, a trophy, and get a picture taken.
You can bring a Night Champion place in the top 5 each night, can earn a 1 win towards GrNt, performance points, get some prizes, get a picture taken, and get a trophy.
If you bring a Grand Nt to this hunt and you get 2nd or 3rd you get nothing. Does this really makes sense?? So why punish people wanting to hunt there Grands in this hunt??
