Can someone point me in the right direction on the rule about striking back in for 100 if another dog has held the original 100 for over an hour. I tried finding it in the rule book and couldn’t locate it. Thanks

Rule 11(d) Recasting

(d) Recasting. After being scored, dog shall not be
released until another dog struck in on track, or
on tree, opens. If no other dog is declared struck,
scored dog may be released immediately after
scoring tree. However, if another dog in cast is
declared treed, handler(s) has the option to recast
or keep scored dog on leash. Handler’s opting to
keep dog on leash may not recast dog until next
opportunity arises (next tree is scored or dog leaves
tree). If all remaining dogs in cast are declared
treed and cast decides they need to move to a new
location after all dogs are scored, all scored dogs
shall remain on leash and time out shall be called
while walking to split trees. Hunt time shall be
called back in during shining time only. Otherwise,
scored dog may be recast even if all remaining
dogs are declared treed. Once a position has been
scored it becomes available again. A dog declared
struck after the recast, receives the next available
strike position. A dog cannot be struck in over
a position that is being held except when a dog
holds his strike position for one hour. In that case,
all strike positions will be open to other dogs. The
strike position previously held by dog(s) on leash is
not available until dog is recast. Multiple dogs may
occupy fourth strike position.
