Most over used as well as incorrect use of a rule
Some time ago Todd K. asked our opinion on this forum about what we felt was the most misapplied rule.
I never saw it go any further but I stated that I felt it was the DELETE POINTS rule.
I think this rule is the one of most misapplied rules.
Let me explain.
Almost every week I hear from someone about how points have been deleted .I then will have to tell them that they were wrong and why.
Just this morning I got a call about a hunt last night.
Here is what happened .Dog A was treed alone.5 minutes are up and Handler of dog B insists on treeing his dog.
The hunting judge says okay but you will go in for 125.Now the real fun starts as the three handlers disagree with the judge.They go into the tree and both dog A and B are on the tree and it is slick. The judge wants to minus Dog B on his strike and tree .The other three handlers disagree .The judge is unable to find the rule (rule 4(k))which applies on the back of the card.They over rule the judge 3-1 and say because the dog came into a closed tree they should delete all his points.
The judge with draws but continues on the hunt. Dog B wins the cast and gets a first place. If the points had been properly applied Dog C would have won the cast as well as a 1st place instead.The judge did not want to question it as he had nothing to gain .It also was under a hunt panel .
I know it is just as much dog C handlers fault for not knowing the rules and losing the cast and I was told he was one of the handlers most argueing to delete.
On several other occasions I have heard because a vote is 2-2 on either minus ,plus, or circle .Because no one can agree on a majority the cast is deleting the strike and tree points.
On some other occasions I have heard guys pulling dogs off bad tracks to go to another dump and deleting the points.
I think the deleting of points needs to be rediscussed and clarified as when it is appropriate to delete points.
