Mr. Lambert
I disagree, if you want a quality hunt where the winner actually won the hunt, you need a cast winner format. The major hunts could be treated just like a World Championship Hunt is treated, if it can be done in that hunt, it can be done in the other major hunts. Change the format to one that is fair to all, the current system is flawed and favors certain casts that get the best draw. If a hunt is worth having, it should be worth the effort to make it fair to all. I honestly do not know how anyone can support a hunt system that relies on who hunts where, where a cast winner is just a cast winner. If you watch the $ KC hunts you will see that a high score in one cast means absolutely nothing as to what dog wins the hunt. A cast winner is just a cast winner, no more no less than any other cast winner. They hunted different ground, different coon population and in some cases different weather. Why would score alone be a valid measure in those cases. Just because WE have always done things this way DOES NOT in fact make it right. You want attendance to increase and the hunt to be mean something, make it equitable for ALL casts, not a few that draw the right spots. These hunts are planned well in advance and changing the format should NOT be major problem. Until these changes are made if ever, just call the dog that scores the most points HIGH SCORE and not the hunt Winner. Dave
