well at first like I said thought about running them down and giving them what for, but they don't babble (most of the time) so they got the benefit of the doubt and it payed off. they ended up not leaving the country and under a coon. plus it up. if I was in a hunt and this came up I'd tell them after about 30 sec I'm starting the 8 and they either need to tree in there or carry track out of there boys. Now then, had the next time they barked they been over a grand in there, to me that would have been an easy call to have them minus. And if my thinking is correct, the judge is the only one who has to determine if the dogs were babbling, is that right?
Part of your post is correct, it is the judges decision on whether or not they were babbling and he scores it accordingly.
If a handler doesn't like it they can ask for a vote.
As far as a ruling about carrying the track out or where they opened there is no rule in UKC about that. It's just a judges decision on whether or not they were babbling.
