I'm looking for clarification on the rule of minusing out. I had a buddy run into this this past weekend in his first hunt and the way I interpret it is different from how the judge did. The rule reads: dog is scratcbed if : a dog has accumulated a total of 400 minus. Now is that 400- no matter how many plus points you have or TOTAL SCORE of 400-?

No matter what your final score is you are minused out after 400-

Your plus points don't matter. If you score 400 minus points your done.

Ok thank you!! He had no idea and I wasn't completely sure. I always thought it was if your total score was 400- not as soon as you hit 400- regardless of how many plus points you had

I think I've only minused out above the board one time. normally if you score 400- points your having a pretty rough night anyhow LOL
