Same speach I heard.
EXAMPLE:
2 dogs start rolling, both started it at the same time. The other 2 dogs stand there & tree. Break them up, score your tree, presume hunting.
NO INTERFERANCE = NO SCRATCH.
If 1 dog would have shy`d away, took off, stopped treeing or anything else that stopped the dogs from doing what they do.... then you have INTERFERENCE.
INTERFERENCE = SCRATCH.
6. DOGS WILL BE SCRATCHED:
(b) Fighting or attempting to fight .......
(c) Attempting to fight is defined as follows: when dog(s) are interfering with other dog(s) during the authority of the Judge by aggressive behavior.
The rule has two parts: Part 1)"FIGHTING" OR Part 2)"ATTEMPTING TO FIGHT"....
Dogs Rolling are Fighting, so they will be Scratched under part 1 of the rule. You don't even need to worry about "interfering" they are flat out fighting.
The "INTERFERENCE" part only comes into play if you are trying to figure out if a dog is "ATTEMPTING TO FIGHT" through aggressive behavior. For example if you go into a tree and a dog chases another dog away (and you see the whole thing), that dog is "attempting to fight" and is "interfering", and could be scratched under Part 2 of the rule...
I may be wrong, but this is the way I've always seen the rule applied...
