The B&T Assoc. asked for written rules change suggestions and got a couple. I don't know exactly how its decided whether the Assoc. will support one or not. I think it happens at Autumn Oaks. I'm just a member, we were asked for suggestions and I gave them mine, so I did my part. That gives me the right to bitch for the next 2 years.

I dont like punishing dogs for striking close coons. If your at a big event and your getting 25 strike and 125 tree every tree. You score 4 coons thats 600+. Another cast strikes after the min and scores on three coons at 225+ each thats 675+ and you lose your dog treed more coons but lost because he struck them before one min.
Yeah, but you're hunting on buckets is why you are striking within the minute. Instead of turning loose 20 yards from the buckets you should have turned loose 1/4 mile and seen whose dogs would find them first. Thats what strike points were intended for. The other cast is hunting on wild coons. So, their 3 coons is a better performance than your 4.
For every 2 casts like this, there are 2 that have 1-2 babblers. They are striking for 100 and nobody is getting minused because thats what usually happens when dogs are struck on a babble. One of those casts treed 4 coons and a babbler got 1st and 2nd on each one and scored 700+ without treeing a coon and beat your 675+ anyway.
