The Advisor, official interpretation of ukc nite hunt rules and policies.
judging, there are only 3 situations that a cast vote is called, the judge scores ALL others, those three are, scoring tree,s, (coon seen or not) calling time out,and returning to previously scored tree,s without declaring dogs treed. page 80 Rule chapter 10 3rd paragraph.
And yes a dog can be scratched for aggressive behavior if that behavior is interfering with another dog, or is determined by the judge only that the dog is attempting to fight.
running into the tree before the judge, should have been scratched, it is not the judges responsibility to teach you the rules, he does not have to tell you to not go in to a tree before him, it is your responsibility to know the rules when you enter, Does the judge have to tell you when to tree your dog? That rule is well known common knowledge, and if three handlers are running in to tree you can bet they knew better. They are scratched, the Master of hounds needs to get him The Advisor book and study it...Gerald/ MH/BSJ
You are correct on the vote unless a cast member asks for a cast vote on a judges decision. I agree with Jim that the judge did not have control of the cast and they had probably gotten into every tree that night before the judge. I always make it clear if I am judging that I will always be first into every tree. Yes, a dog can be scratched for face barking if it meets both aggressive behavior and interfering with another dog (judges decision if it meets both). The MOH siding with the majority is nothing new to this sport. He is not there and has make a decision based on what he hears. The judge must keep control of the cast and once he lets a little thing slide he has to let the next one and so on. You don't have to be a butt to judge a cast but before a dog is ever cut the judge should inform the cast that the rules will be followed by all.
