OK,
Question 1 - Dog A is struck for 100 points and goes nowhere the 3 minute progession clock is started, Dog A goes into a check resulting in a minus 20, the 3 minute progression clock runs out.
Answer - Minus Dog A 100 points draw a line through the minus 20. REASON - You cannot take a minus for a check and dead track without a recovery awarded. (Only exception is if another dog strikes in while your in a check)
Question 2 - Dog A is struck for 100 points and goes silent, the 3 minute progression clock starts as well as the 1 minute check clock. After 45 seconds Dog A barks 1 time and goes silent, the check clock is restarted. After 45 more seconds Dog A barks 2 times and goes silent, the check clock restarts again. After 35 more seconds Dog A barks 1 time. There is now only 55 seconds left of the 3 minute progression clock. ANSWER - Once a hound is struck he/they have 3 minutes to progress the track. Within that 3 minutes dog/dogs may earn check points.
Question 3 - SAME SCENERIO AS QUESTION 2 - ANSWER - NO Once your 1 minute clock expires and your in a check a hound must open honestly, resulting in reasonable forward progress to be awarded a recovery. 1 or 2 barks will not meet that criteria
FUTURE Question - Dog A barks and goes silent, both progression and check clocks are started. Dog A goes into a check. Dog B is struck and goes silent. ANSWER - Dog A's minus 20 stays on the card with no recovery awarded. IF Dogs A&B is silent for 1 minute after Dog B was struck both hounds will be in a check.
Hope this helps
