be careful some will say " now you are arguing with Allen/UKC." You are probably like me and just want to make the right and fair call, not just for the cast your on but for the hunt. Knowing that not only does a call right or wrong effect your cast but the whole hunt out come. How many people would be mad at the end of the night if you won your cast but lost the hunt because that cast allowed something that is not in the UKC rules? Some people seem to be getting upset my guess would be because they have called this kind of time out and now can't back it up with a rule. The problem I see with saying that's how it's always been done with no rule to back it up, is not all cast are playing the same. Was on a cast one night and time winding down, no plus points guy says well someone is going to win. we'll flip a coin that's the way we have always done it. Another time, around here if dogs are on the lead we just walk the last 20 or 30 mins out. Hmmm I can show you plainly in the rules were this is not allowed, but sometimes it's not black and white, maybe the time out thing is addressed in an old post or coonhound adviser but we need something to go by.
well said. if time out can be called simply because we want to then all the other reasons can be erased and the rule can read as just that (whenever for whatever reason) level the playing field.
