This is different from PKC where a tree call is required to score dogs in a place of refuge. That can really bite you in PKC because dogs in a hole will often bale when a light hits them which gets you minused the tree points in PKC while it does not hurt you in UKC because no tree call was required.
Yep, however it was never said why the cast moved in, just tryin to "keep up" is not a reason to shine the dogs. Now if it sounded like they had a coon bayed or heard the coon fight, well if nobody wants to make a tree call then yes the judge can slide everyone closer to investigate.
To me that's where things screwed up, especially when it appears all 4 didn't know the rules all that well.
In the wham/bam moments, if you are confused then wait until the action stops and the judge should repeat the scored situations as best he knows how (he should know better than the other 3!), put it on the card, let the question marks fly if needed and move to the next drop.
I'm with Jim, argue and you can go home, light my card up with little question marks all you want, but we gonna calmly finish the 2 hours.
