Before everyone just says No....for the sake of saying No, I feel UKC really needs to consider this. With all the clubs cancelling hunts due to COVID issues, it is obvious a large amount of money that would have flowed into the tournament of champions.....didn’t flow as planned. Holding 1 hour hunts during the week will generate additional revenue into the program and allow additional opportunities for people to get their dogs qualified. I have heard one of the biggest pushbacks is the amount of dogs that will attend and UKC doesn’t just want one or two dog hunts.....well I got news for you, it is happening on the weekends anyway. We’ve held a one hour “other registry” hunt on Wed and draw 12 dogs. I’ve always heard that some money is better than no money and this would definitely generate some money.

I am associated with 4 different clubs and we would definitely support and hold some hunts during the week if allowed.

Absolutely think it should happen , one or two casts during the week is the same as one or two cast on the weekends.

Tim I agree I think since ukc is in the money game now state races , escrow, ect will be a must. As far as the tournament of champions I see a glitch that nobody else might not have seen and I think it will eventually have to go to an elimination format being able to buy back in and all. But they will need more help and that might be a factor.

Tar,

It would be disappointing to get double cast wins at the zones and not make the top 64. Hopefully after this first year adjustments can be made and go to an elimination style experience. Basically set it where 400 get through and Hunt 100 hunt each night Monday- Thursday....Then the 4 x 25 dog winners from the week = 100 dogs for Friday night; Final hunt Saturday night.

We gotta get the money in there first though.

Tim me and you discussed this the time is now. When the first mushroom Swiss burger was a success everybody started making them why ? Because they sell ! The only glitch I see in the through the week hunts is they don’t need a baby sitter at the club. There is no patent on success you have anouther kc that is successful use their model with your own twist. Their model makes money after everybody gets to the big dance would not be a hard decision for me.

To the best of my knowledge which ain't much I think the only night a club cannot host a hunt is Sunday. So talk to your local clubs and do it.

A few of us around my area would like to see them. Local clubs said it wasn’t an option. Most of these old guys are stuck in a rut with blinders on and balk at any amount of change.

Rock that title means a lot to me and you. But that integrity of the title stuff went out the window when you started getting paid for slick trees and easy entry cards started getting titled in a different state than the dog was in.



They want money !! Ukc and the hunters.

Much needed step to bringing UKC back into relevance.. They were the bench mark in the hunt game for many, many years, now playing catch up to their red headed step child who figured out what works..

I still like the old UKC best, but it's gone and not about what we like, but what works. my opinion anyways.

UKC hunts during the week would be great we canceled one of our hunts and every night I tried to find a date for the event I got told no by UKC I believe this should be a option for us.

Yes and lets have double headers on the weekdays while we are at it. And triple headers on the weekends. More hunts, more hunts, more hunts and then complain about the numbers.

I did take a quick look at the other board. I seen 3 hunts cancelled on the top of the page. I wouldn't imagine it could be from the over saturation of hunts? What you don't see is how many "no hunt held" reports are being submitted.

I don't see a problem with week night hunts but I have one question. Doesn't UKC limit the number of hunts a club can host a year. Not sure they would want to use up the number of hunts on weeknight hunts that draw limited number when they have them on the week end and hopefully draw more. More dogs more money. The longer the club stays around.
